Hi David, I had some fun with studio lights last weekend shooting informal portraits using the same type of lens you're selling: Summircon-R 90mm. Camera was a Canon 20D with focus confirmation Leica-R adapter. http://www.flickr.com/photos/ecky/2302636517 http://www.flickr.com/photos/ecky/2302636489 IMHO, this lens also has nice out of focus 'bokeh' as these experiments suggest: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ecky/517423371 http://www.flickr.com/photos/ecky/518534548 I really like this lens and wouldn't want to part with it....but understand that your preferred focal lengths have more of a telephoto emphasis. Comments and critique always welcome, Best regards, and congralations on your new Olympus E-3! ~ Eric On Fri, Feb 29, 2008 at 7:50 AM, FreeLists Mailing List Manager <ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Leica Reflex Forum Digest > +------------------------+------------------------------------ > leicareflex Digest Fri, 29 Feb 2008 Volume: 05 Issue: 060 > > In This Issue: > [LRflex] FS: 90 Summicron-R - Price reduced! > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Date: Fri, 29 Feb 2008 07:50:03 -0800 > From: David Young <dsy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Subject: [LRflex] FS: 90 Summicron-R - Price reduced! > > I have decided to part with my 3-cam 90 Summicron-R (Not an easy decision!) > > The lens is in top-notch mechanical condition and the glass is > perfect.
