Sharing a shot from the little 40 cron

The quality of this lens wide open just amazes me sometimes. I really wasn't expecting much shooting this with iso160 film indoors giving me 1/4s at f2 but taking into account the speed, i'd say its really sharp. Did a 8x10 and it still showed up fine!

I like the look of this image but it also looks a little strange to me. Her face and the plate under her hands is in focus, but her hands (and whatever it is she is holding...looks like a camera of some sort) are out of focus even they they are over the plate that is in focus.

i know what u mean. Its like there were 2 focal points.

Btw, its a camera phone. Must admit the new N75 nokia does take some wonderful pictures.

M Rokkor 40mm (equivalent to Cron), full open.
It's my favorite one.

Back in the mid 1970s a girl I knew slightly asked for advice on which camera to buy. Given her budget and the fact that she wanted something small, I recommended a Leica CL with 40 and 90 lenses. Must say she got the hang of it all very soon and did rather well with it.

The 40 Cron is one of Leica's jewels!
