I have never done much portraiture and recently took this portrait of Stephanie Antosca, Producer for the NBC series 'West Wing.' I used the M2 with a Summilux 50/1.4 shot at 1.4 and I think 125. You can see the shallow depth of field at 1.4. It is backlit from the window in her office. The scan is from a 8x10 on a cheap scanner which does not do the print justice. Any critique welcome. go to http://www.streetphoto.net/images/im3.jpg Thanks Steve Annapolis
