Daniel,

THe shot of your daughter is lovely, but I am afraid is surpased by the IIIf 
shot (no I am not biased!), the lens just works for that light and level of 
contrast, coating or not, serial number or not and over 70 years old. It's 
quite 
an interesting record in its own right.

thanks for showing it to us.

Peter
