I was surprised and delighted to find something I'd done in one of your selections. Gene - I don't have an 80/1.4, or any Leiuca R equipment. The camera and lens were borrowed, out of a sense of aspirational curiosity; I shot half the set with this set-up and the other half with a Nikon 85/1.4 (using both an F100 and an FA) to see if there was any practical difference and maybe to think about immersing myself in Leica R gear. The lens is sublime, the body was fine. But my Nikons suit me very well as far as my SLR needs go and the 85/1.4 Nikkor was shown by this casual approach to be just as good as the Leica lens for this type of work. So I saved myself some cash and spent it on film instead. I'll give Rachel a call this weekend, maybe.
