Ania checking out baby clothes after a very good friend of ours gave birth to a little boy.
The label on the shirt which is in focus reads "fun", which it definitely was for Ania.

M-Hexanon 50/2.0 wide open.

The second one was taken with a Jupiter-3 bought from leon1965jazz via the bay.
No complaints about sharpness and focussing.

Uwe - You could cross-post the shot you put up in "Girls With Cameras" - lovely OOF in that picture. Lovely IF, too.

John,
Actually, I hadn't noticed the bokeh in that shot before you mentioned it. But you're right - it looks quite nice.
I sold my Canon EF gear some time ago, because I got very annoyed with the German service on a digital G3 I also had at that time. So, the Tokina also went. It was quite nice, but very heavy and quite unusable wide open; therefore: no regrets!

Re. x-posting pictures: I actually like the bokeh of my J-3 in this picture much better, although the scan does not do it any justice - maybe it got oversharpened; the print, however, has a really nice dreamy feel in the OOF area with the IF area being unexpectedly sharp.
