Subject: [Leica] IMG: Takumar 50/1.4

I have always been impressed by the results I got from the old Pentax 
Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 50/1.4 lens.  While watching softball on TV, 
I shot a few images from my recliner, not worrying about being square 
with the subject.  I played with Exposure Adjustment to try to get 
somewhere near the correct light.

I was impressed, once more, by how the lens performed on the X-T2.

My son, giving me the latest news from his iPhone 7:

Sharpness, from a crop of details above the fireplace, shot at an angle, 
with distortion corrected:
