Thanks, Rick!
Why a /horrible/ hemorrhaging disease, though? Why not just a mildly
inconvenient one?

Nice composition and use of focus, and a very nice subject. To me the freckles
are overdone, though; it looks as though she has some horrible hemorrhagic
disease.
Cheers,

Hi all,
Having pulled out of my despondency with knowledge that I have a replacement for my
A50/1.7 on the way, I thought I might as well pull out my original beloved lens,
the M 50/2 -- the one I feared was destroyed when my cat knocked it off the
dresser. It still feels a little weird while focusing -- though, that could be due
to the fact that I'd gotten so used to using the A 50/1.7& K 50/1.4.
In any event, I took it out into the yard and popped off a few shots before I
headed out for a bit this evening. I have to say I'm pleased with the sharpness
it produces -- I think it may even be just a smidge sharper than the A50/1.7.
Here's one of the few shots I knocked out late this afternoon -- it's my next
door neighbor's daughter, who happened to be outside playing while I was taking
a few flower shots for my own amusement. I have to say, I'm pretty happy with
the results:

K20D, M 50/2, ISO 100, 1/200 sec, f/3.5(?)
Freckles are one of my weaknesses when it comes to human subjects. I just find
them enchanting.
Nevertheless, this was a bit of a therapeutic shot. I still really like the
lens -- a lot. I just wish it had A contacts. Is the A 50/2 as nice a lens as
the M 50/2? I may look into one someday if it is.
Comments, critiques and suggestions are, as always, eagerly solicited.
Thanks!
