Jamie: You really put the Leica 80 R into great applications. I used to do wedding myself and seeing the image of the bride like this inside her home is special. Besides the choice of lens and the F stop, the light and composition made the photo. This is an example where knowing the lens character and stopping down a tad to get enough resolving power and yet retain lovely bokeh. At F1.6 there should be plenty of ambient light in the background.
Thanks for the kind words! And yeah, the brides never "see" in the room what I see in the room with that lens And close up, it honestly just needs that touch of stopping down as you put it to still be flattering (no re-touching needed, really) but sharp too.
Older women, especially, love this lens, and you can see why!
