I would have thought you would be OK with this lens, judgung by the
recent portrait of Maria, which was taken with (IIRC) a 75mm Summilux.
this lens must be just as much of a challenge to focus as a Nokton /
Noctilux.
Do you use a viewfinder magnifier? I have a 1.25x magnifier, which
makes life quite a bit easier, though it's tricky seeing the viewfinder
LEDs when wearing spectacles.
Best wishes
Mark
