Due to a sudden epiphany about color balancing in crazy mixed lighting, I'm 
going to ask the "B&W or color" question again on two of 'em:

For the record, I prefer B&W on the "eye exam" picture (2nd pair).  As for 
the portrait with pink "stethoscope" (first pair) I like 'em both equally, 
for different reasons.

My, oh my the 35/1.4 ASPH and M8 is a killer combination:

(1:1 crop of the above, which was taken at f/2 and ISO 320, no sharpening 
beyond the default in Capture One)

I realize sharpness is a bourgeois concept, but 'tis nice to have sometimes.
