The image is too dark! Cannot see the face at all.

Cannot see the face, but barely a small spot of light on the forehead.How do you know that there is a face in the image then?
Thank you, Raid. It is Dr. Willem Frederik Hermans, one of the most famous Dutch literary writers. In those years he lived in Paris. He was a Leica collector too. A very famous book by him is: "The Darkroom of Damocles". A Leica IIIa, nr. 256789 with Summar nr. 222456, plays an important role in the book.View attachment 4842752
I can see the face.
Great detail at full aperture.One of the best lenses available: the Nokton 50mm f1.1.
