Thanks, Evan. She's a good friend, and very easy to photograph!

Lovely feel to the image and her.

Hello everyone, i'm new here, first post, a portrait of my dad!
Leica M3 with Zeiss Planar 50mm ZM

That's a beauty ricardoont. Really good. I also have a Planar and M3, as well as a couple of other ZM lenses. I find them all lovely.

Vince, this is a wonderful photo.

Composition of the half-hidden/half-exposed cautious curious child is superb.

The tonality is great too! Kudos all-around.

If I've already posted this one, I apologize. I just finally got a good scan of it:

Thank you! What other zm lens would you recommend? I find the planar to be amazing, really sharp and great construction.

My other two ZM's are the Sonnar 50/1.5 and the Biogon 35/2. They are both enjoyable in that the Sonnar has a more distinct portrait feel to photos because of its very soft background rendering, while the Biogon has a similar look to the Planar, but allows you to get closer in with group shots with very good edge to edge sharpness on film. The Biogon 35/2 uses exactly the same size body shell as the Planar, so they make a good pair.

Nice, I'll check the 35/2 i sometimes find the 50 to be a bit tight, and I've heard about the focus shift of the 50 Sonnar, which made me go with the Planar, but I've seen some photographs made with it and when the focus is right it renders really beautiful.

Many thanks - it was one of those situations in which I needed to be quick enough to put all the elements together in an instant. Just goes to show that nothing exists in isolation - it's all interconnected.
