As you can see, my friend is doing quite well. He's up five beers already.

Maybe this works a little better?

Wow, that 700 pixel limit reduction really butchers things.

John, he just liked the foam.

I used to have the Nokton 35/1.2, and I liked the way you could shoot wide open at night:

Great image, Travis! I really like this one. When can I get a print? : )

I agree with Mohir on the 90mm. Get the current Elmarit. It performs better than the Tele-Elmarit. I had one of those a few years ago and sold it for the current lens. I'm very happy with the choice. If I were looking for a new 35, I would probably go with the Biogon as well. I have the Canon LTM 35/1.8, the 'cron IV, the 'cron ASPH and the 'lux ASPH. I really like all four lenses in different ways and wouldn't sell any of them. If you want an inexpensive Leica lens that is close to the focal length you're talking about, consider the 40mm 'cron. I love this little lens. You can get it for under $300 in good used condition.

I also recommend the 35 'cron IV. I also have the 35 'cron ASPH and 35 'lux ASPH and a Canon LTM 35/1.8. For black and white, I almost always shoot the 'cron IV or the Canon. The 'cron is better for portraits, I think, as the bokeh is better than the other 35s. The Canon goes for about $200 (plus adapter) in excellent condition--one of the best values I know. You can get a 'cron IV in great shape for not much more than $1,000. If you're getting one lens, then I stand by the 'cron IV.

Sheldon, blow it up. I hate the little pics...

Michael, your hair looks a bit like Woody Allen's, and your ego, my god, your EGO... : )
