Black nose sonnar 50/2, coated post-war. At f/5.6. Shutter speed at 1/100 or maybe 1/50.

I'd say a 90mm. Sorry, I just can't decide which one. I have never used TX @ 3200 sooo... Well, I ll say Elmarit. I really have no idea.

A great guess, based on my affinity for that exceptional lens: but no.
And thanks very much.

Agreed, great photo.
Could it be the current Elmar-M 50/2.8?

I'm gunning for a 75 'cron at f/4.

Thanks, JL: but wrong on the tool.
Erik, I wish I had a 75 'Cron (and a camera with 75 lines to go with it.)

It's older than just about anybody here; maybe everybody. No going back to check my old posts to see!

another guess:
Elmar 50mm f/3.5 on a Leica Standard. f/9 (cause it's cool to be different)

Well, it was at f4, but you're close enough. 1933 version, uncoated: love that lens.

I like my later coated version, the 90 elmar seems to be a very over looked lens, price-wise.

My cup runneth amok.
Sir, you could make good pictures through a tomato paste can with Saran Wrap at each end, held on by postal elastics, the whole mess duct-taped to a factory-seconds Holga. Your portraits are a kick to the junk.

Why, thanks. It's nice to hear it put that way...

Schmoozit good...
I figured it must be a 50 since I was, until now, fairly certain you didn't know what f4 was! Congratulations on the discovery. The portrait is nice, but it's hard to be wowed after seeing the Rollei's magic.
