It's obvious that you like to do tight portraits. You should look for a Sonnar 150mm f/4 T* lens ... you'll be in heaven.Thank you, Godfrey. Of the first roll many were wrongly exposed and out of focus, which was a shame as some of them were hand held at 1/8 second and quite sharp but the wrong bit was in focus! The leaf shutter is much kinder for slow speeds than a focal plane shutter. I need to do better with my little Gossen meter, and wear glasses for focusing. The camera came with a 45º unmetered prism, so I don't have the benefit of the magnifier. A waist level finder with magnifier is on the way from KEH. Today I exposed the first half of a roll of XP2 using a 10mm extension tube for close portraits, but tomorrow I will shoot the rest without the extension tube in case I end up with big noses as I did with the Rolleinar 1.
