I'd like to have the focus on the eye too. I was wondering if somebody would notice. you clearly did. Thanks for that. More dof might be better. The first idea of these pictures was to test the Tokina 50-135/2.8. It was low tungsten light, wide open close foucs. i think the lens performed quit well. Converting to B&W was muh easier than to get the skin tones right in color. BTW: how is your wrist? I picked up a M7 with tri-elmar this week and noticed it is quit a bit heavier than a M6. The M7 must have been more difficult for you to handle. Best regards, Michiel Fokkema Geoff Hopkinson wrote: > Hi Michiel, just today back home in front of my own screen.
