Although I later acquired? the 50/1.4 and the longer Takumars, I still have the original 55. I always felt it was a slight bit sharper than the favored 50/1.4.? Though there is little action in my yard these days, I took the 55/1.8 for my walk today.? Along the fence, near a Rose of Sharon bloom, I found this Fiery Skipper. http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/20210908-DSCF2796-Enhanced.JPG.html Next, I found a Carpenter Bee visiting a Buddleia bloom. http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/20210908-DSCF2858-Enhanced.JPG.html And finally, I caught this Silver-Spotted Skipper in flight, above the Buddleia foliage. http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/20210908-DSCF2848-Enhanced.JPG.html Even with an adapter, the 55 makes a fairly light kit with my Fuji X-T2. -- Jim Nichols Tullahoma, TN USA
