Asher, I was referring to Michael: "50mm Summilux f/1.4 ASPH 50mm Summicron f/2 ASPH

50mm f2 Summicron - gets confusing for me where in the production range is best. Perhaps

I am being too anal already!" You should read the whole thing, it is really worth it ;-)

Wow. There are some really great romanciers at photo.net. By the way: 50mm Summicron f/2

ASPH would be best but it doesn't exist yet.

You shouldn't buy v1 if you want a softer lens. It is tack sharp except at f2 where it is quite

soft. But the characteristics are very nice. It is my favourite lens, I bought it in times when it

was much cheaper and not a collectible yet.

Vivek: it is not so subtle and a classic but still valid because this guy is still walking around in

this shirt these days.

I use both of these lenses on my EOS-1Ds and can tell you that they perform very well.

Focusing can be a problem, especially with the 2/28mm wide open.

It's mostly helpful to have some black in a b/w picture, to get off the spots and then there is

a sharpening tool too. Here is my suggestion of Lee's photograph.<div></div>

Salu Fréderick,

I have visited that place in 2002, a very intense spot on earth. In spite of that I didn't bring

any good photographs at home from there. You were probably more successfull than I was

but I think your edition work sucks a little bit. There are some really good photographs

and some so làlà-ones which seem to be taken in a little bid a scatterbrained way. Maybe

you should eliminate the not so good ones and go again over your contact sheets.

Well, I felt free to comment...;-)

Salutations

That is absolutely correct.

Well, the idea is not that new: Look at the SNOB in:

Good evening Edward,

Hi Graeme,

I think some editing work would improve the serie. Many photographs are just variations and

repetitions of other ones. Too many similar mountain pictures in boring light situations for

example. I would try to burn down the whole serie to maybe 30 photographs.
