You have to be very careful with the narrow base-length rangefinder in the CL, that's all. In any case, your second shot "Shopping for Pumpkins" proves my point. The subjects in the photo are soft, and even in the JPG, you can see that the plane of focus is a bit behind them, as the labels on the boxes are sharp - unless, of course, that's what you were focusing on! ;-) - --Jim - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sonny Carter" <sonc@sonc.com> To: <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> Sent: Thursday, July 24, 2003 9:33 AM Subject: Re: [Leica] Leica CL coming my way > Jim, I have lots of shots wide open with the 2.8.
