Last night, as we often do, we went out for tapas. I took this picture of my
daughter:

I am posting this to the LUG as well because of our recent discussions about
sensor size, lenses etc. It was taken with the E3, at ISO 800, using the
25mm PanaLeica at f1.4. My attitude to high- speed lenses is that if one
does not use them at maximum aperture, what is the point of buying them?

I think this image is a good illustration of what this lens/camera
combination is capable of. No sharpening was applied, I just imported the
RAW image into Lightroom, adjusted levels and converted to grayscale.
