This is with the Summilux M 50 asph wide open. Now it has become a short portrait 67mm or so! <http://www.pbase.com/hoppyman/image/93634580> http://tinyurl.com/29trdn The subject is my beautiful daughter from the shadow side. Just a quick casual shot obviously. I'm completely biased of course, but I love this one. Just look what the lens does on the 10MP sensor!! Now to get better at the exposure control without throwing away too much at the highlight end.
