Jim,

I've read somewhere that COOKIN offers a "softener filter" for portraits. Never actually seen it though.

The photographer of M. Alfort uses an old Yashica Mat for the soft renderish for wedding photography.

Some says that a simple lady's stocking stretched in front of the lens does the softing trick, never tried!

I assume that you guys are discussing the Summicron... it's an excellent lens. Albeit maybe a little too sharp for portraits of some folks.

Just wondering why the 90mm f/2 is so out of favor with leica people. 


Not with me.


... have found that it is a really nice lens after all. Wide open has a fairly good DOF for a face in the crowd and the bokeh is above average 


For these reasons it's a "keeper" IMHO.
