I like the photo with the wine bottle, glass and newspaper the best. I like the in and out of focus transition very much. Even though the plane of sharp focus is very narrow the full field is very smooth. The outdoor shot has very good contrast and was probably taken at a mid opening. The two photos of the lady look to be taken it a more open stop with less contrast. But it is hard to tell as i feel Plus-x is a more medium contrast film so I may be looking more at the film performance then the lens. Over all I think this is a good test of the camera and lens of this age.
