This assumes that the prime purpose of this lens is to shoot at f/1.4. But it seems to me that at f2.0-2.8 the DOF is sufficiently greater that focussing is no longer a problem and the rendition of O-O-F is still so creamy -- dare I say the bokeh is so good? -- that it would be a shame to sell this lens. And don't forget that this lens is also so good at small apertures. Perhaps even shooting at f/1.7 (I mean halfway between 1.4 and 2.0) would increase DOF sufficiently to make focussing not a problem, although I haven't tried this yet. If someone knows he or she can tell us. - --Mitch/Bangkok - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
