Henning,

>From the photo of Howard, it appears it would make an excellent portrait 
lens.  1/30th with a 75mm takes a steady hand.  Thanks for sharing them all.

> Here are som shots taken this morning with the new CV Heliar Classic 
> f/1.8.
>
> The first 4 are at f/1.8, f/2, f/2.8 and f/4. Focus was not adjusted 
> between the shots. They were taken on an M9 with latest firmware (that's 
> why the number got reset!) at ISO 160, and shutter speeds above 1/125 sec. 
> Imported into LR3, camera calibrated but not other adjustments. No 
> sharpening, no nuthin'.
>
> The last shot is of Howard Cummer at about 1.1m, and only the colour 
> balance was slightly corrected.
>
> For pixel peepers I've included large files at full resolution, sRGB jpgs 
> at 70% so they're not too big. Not too much in the way of artifacts.

> Some focus shift is evident, but in general the lens performs very well, 
> providing a look that's similar to that of the 75 Summilux.
