Subject: [Leica] Who needs an M8 when you have Neopan?

Last time I posted pictures from a 70+ years lens (Summar), people thought 
the contrast is a bit low. Well, I think this 50+ Nikkor 50/1.4SC fares 
better in that aspect. I shot a whole roll with most of the shots @1.4, and 
even after 50 years, it's quite decent. Ergonomically speaking, it sucks, 
as the focus is a bit stiff on my and there are gunky thing on the front 
ring (I also found that you can unscrew the front lens assembly out, neat - 
I think). I suppose it may need a CLA.

Enjoy?

So what do you think about the bokeh or the glow :-)?
