Out of focus, but I like it anyway.

Chris,

What a fantastic photograph!
What a moment! It's a miracle... Even the light is mysterious...
Their hands wanting to meet... Both ages and attitudes in a man's life...
Oh! This one deserves a big big size, on real silver...
Adorable! More focus wouldn't add a thing!
Congratulations!!!
 
My CV 35/2.5 PII is the only lens I have for my M2--I'm digging it so far. Would love it if it was a 1.4, but the size and price are hard to beat. Bokeh is better than I expected when it does show up (wish I could get shallower DOF at 2.5, but alas hard to do).

Here's a recent one on Tri-x in HC110b:

And another, cheap color film and lab scan, the first roll ever through my M2 and 35 PII combo:

I have a 35 Pancake for 2 years now. made a test with an summicron 35 1.4 asp.. at the same apertures. from 2.5 on. amazing: details came out nearly the same: fortunately i had written down the frame numbers, it was to nearly mix up the lenses. BUT; vignetting was very heavy for the panc. and not centered also. so I think i got only what i paid for. a good lens but a leica is more expensive but better all opened.
I made a trip to NY and wanted a to have a small camera wuith me, so i took the Bessa R2 and the 35 an the 50 from voigtlaender to shoot Astia , Provia an some sensia 100. it takes 10 days to be developped. still some days to wait to see what i produced.
 
This is probably one of my favorite lens as well and i happen to light the slight vignetting wide open.

RobinsonP: Great Portrait!!!!

Monkeypainter: can you share details of aperture and film/digital iso? looks a bit 'late' for a f2.5 w/out high isi
 
Got this lense a couple of weeks ago. Have developed two rolls and so far it has lived up to my high expectations. Maby a bit too contrasty in bright sunshine for b/w, but very sharp as far as I am able to tell. Here are two shots. Both Tmax 2 developed in x-tol:
