I got one with my first Spotmatic (used) in 1968, but I didn't know what I had until a few years ago. Of all my 50's faster than f/2 (Takumar, Zuiko, Nikkor, and Canon f/1.2) it's got the best combination of sharpness and bokeh to me. -- Alan Alan Magayne-Roshak, Senior Photographer, Emeritus University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Photo Services (Retired) UPAA Photographer of the Year 1978 UPAA Master of the Profession 2014 amagayneroshak at gmail.com <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alan+Magayne-Roshak/> "All the technique in the world doesn't compensate for an inability to notice.
