I really like this one, Mike. Is the MD 105mm 2.5 lens (actually, it's 100mm, right?) one that you especially like?

I have an early MC version, but my "normal" lens is my MD 85mm 1.7, so I haven't used the 100mm much.

John, this is really a lovely and endearing portrait. It doesn't look to me like it came from a 35mm lens, however. Is it a crop?

Yes, 100mm, of course. This is only the second time that I have used this lens, it is a very recent purchase, but so far, I like it quite a lot. I also have the 85/1.7. which is my favorite for street portraiture, which sadly I will not be doing for a while. I rate this 100mm right up with the Nikkor 105mm and the Topcon 100mm, all fantastic lenses, but in normal situations, just a little out of my Goldilocks zone of 85-90mm.

Oh, and this is the MC lens, not the MD. I am more used to typing the latter than the former.

RE 35mm lens ..Thanks Murray, I did use a few different lenses in this shoot. Just went and checked the field of view in the stairwell, and you're right. This one is the Elmar-M 50mm at minimum focus distance of .7m and f2.8 - none of my lenses are coded yet, and it also doesn't look like the EXIF guess of f1.4.

Very nice colors, Lynn.

thanks - I've been pleasantly surprised by Ektar 100 (and also the new Ektachrome 100, slightly different again but still very nice).
