Leica M39 screw mount bodies/lenses

Ray: I took photo hand-held, and I changed the distance from my wife in each photo. The background is not helping in identifying the lens. What might help is the fact that the Luxon may need shimming based on the comment of one RF member, whereas the Elmar already has been shown to be sharp. At one stage, I switched the lenses and then back once.

It's reasonable that the tighter head shots were taken with the 90, and the ones that include more space--more wall-were with the 50. For openers I think #11 was with the 90 because it is a tight head shot and because the wall looks oof owing to shallower DOF. #14 strikes me as possibly being the 90 for much the same reasons. Still cogitating over the others . . .

The 90 should flatten the model's face, moreso than the 50.

the bottom 5 are the 90 maybe(?)

Independent of the lens, I like the first photo best, Raid.

And my compliments to your wife for patience and beauty again :)

Roland.
 
Thanks, Roland. She has her days when she allows me to take photos of her like these.
