Great stuff, Jeffery. Nice to see some pics from you and these three are 
fine. 
I can't believe that you were holding out on a Missy picture on us.
All kidding aside, that is a good strong portrait. The first has a Life 
magazine feel. Charming.
On the fifties, I do claim to see a different character there from those 
two, even in the web sizes. 

Cheers
Hoppy

Well, here's the *pre-asph* 50/1.4 Summilux (on an MP)

and here's the *asph* 50/1.4 Summilux (on an M8)
http://www.400tx.com/files/PAW2007/2007-15.html

As long as I'm shooting silver halide B&W film, I'd be hard pressed to be
able to tell which was which. The asph model certainly seems to be in focus
when my M8 is telling me that it's in focus.

Here's the non-asph 50/1.4 Nikkor

I could do well with any one of them.

Jeffery
