Wow, the d.o.f. Is so narrow with the 75 Summicron, I initially thought your Fav image wasn't sharp anywhere, but with a careful 2nd look I found it. While it's a lens with a way of rendering I would easily love having in my kit to shoot with, I don't think I could effectively tame the d.o.f. Placement. Thx for aharing these images.
