And the Canon 50 does a very neat and sharp job. I like your cyclist picture!

JM >Jean-Michel Mertz >68750 - Bergheim ================================================================================================================ 1. I would list as "surprising" a lens I have - an 85mm f/1.5 Enna Lithagon in Leica thread mount. At f/1.5 and f/2 it has a glow over a sharp image, and by f/8 gets very sharp. It's so heavy that it has its own tripod socket. I was given this lens by a man who used to manage the Burke & James lens bank, but I had to take it apart and re-synchronize the RF helixes. Now that doesn't matter with my Fuji X-E2 and EVF. < http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alan+Magayne-Roshak/Enigmatic/20141115_MR_Mine_DSF1425.jpg.html > 2.
