Subject: [Leica] About the Summilux 50mm

Many people here comment about the need for closer-than 1 meter focusing
for portraits with the Summilux-M.  I have always found that people
photographs at such close ranges with a 50 are very unflattering due to
exagerated perpective.  I even have that problem with the 75 (and had that
problem with my 120 on my Hasselblad).

Comments?
