I wanted to see how well I could focus this lens manually at close distances and wide apertures. I first tried just a shot of my desk, at f2.8 and the minimum focusing distance of 1 meter: https://www.greatpix.eu/All/Picture-A-Day/i-N6S2jGV/A But then I decided to look for more interesting test subjects, and as usual, my Greek colleague Eri was a willing victim. This is also at around 1 meter, but I did close down one stop to f4: https://www.greatpix.eu/All/Picture-A-Day/i-RP9dk47/A I think the GX80 is a good platform for this lens, one of my favourite Leica lenses.
