I agree with you- when you have the capability, you try for more of those 'impossible' shots. It's like having a fast car; how often do you wonder what it'd be like to get her on the open road, and let 'er rip before you actually 'see what she'll do'! Having played around with 50s such as the Elmar, Summitar, Summarit, Summicron, and Noctilux, and just this week a pre-war Summar, I am amazed at the individual 'personality' each of these lenses has. It is as if the designers had tried to come up with as many 'flavors' as they could imagine! It remains for the photographer to pick the tool that works for that particular 'look' he/she might be trying to get! I personally love 'em all! Dan dwpost@msn.com
