Each time I review my lens usage and think about selling unused glass, I 
take out my Leica Summicron-R 50mm and snap a few shots to familiarize 
myself with what it can produce.  It was a KEH BGN lens, and, on my cameras, 
the focus cam will move past the infinity mark, but, as a portrait lens for 
4/3 bodies, it is hard to beat.  Here is my image from today.

Olympus E-1, Summicron-R 50mm, ISO 200, 1/25 at f/4, RAW

Comments and critiques welcomed.

I believe it is worth keeping..............
