Link for the picture seems to be dead, can't see anything... Maybe you should try uploading it again...
 
I don't see a photo here either, Dave... But on your website I see a fun pic of a guy toting a framed photo.
 
I see it. I came out rather nicely, although the expression on the face of your subject would suggest that he doesn't agree with me.

BTW, to the uninitiated like myself, what is PAW???
 
Looks good to me - no issues seeing the image & the classic Sonnar rendering is definitely apparent to me!
 
Oh, I see it now! Is it rather difficult to focus on the subject at f/1.1? Or maybe the aperture is smaller?

Anyway, really lovely shot showing the expression of either someone working or bringing a brand new picture back home! I think the bag strap and the sweater texture really added to the usage of black and white of this picture.
 
Mine arrived yesterday. It is a stunning little lens, the ergonomics are very nice, and it feels very well built. It has moved to the head of the line on the front of my M9 for now and the initial snapshots, though not worth posting here, look nice. It will take awhile to put it through its paces but hopefully I'll be able to post some images soon.
 
PAW = picture a week. Okay, makes perfect sense and I'm embarrassed to have not figured that out on my own. Add that to PAD = picture a day and we get what? Paw pads. Sounds like my dogs' or cat's "feet." (Three dogs; one cat in case you were wondering about those apostrophes.) I'm out of here before I get this thread closed for going off topic. Thanks, Film dino, for the explanation and pardon my silly aside.

Back on topic for a second: Pioneer, I have to ask. You say the lens is stunning and from what I've seen here and elsewhere it looks to be true. I'm curious about the choice of the word "little." Is it actually little?? I realize this is relative, so maybe compare it, if you know, to a Nokton 1.1.
