Subject: [Leica] portraits out of focus

   I recently took a portrait of my girlfriend with a 105mm Nikkor. (Pace. I 
don't have a portrait lens for the M3 yet!) I inadvertently didn't get it 
focused accurately, and the result is one of the most becoming pictures of 
her I've ever seen! Talk about turning a bug into a feature!!! And yes, we 
are both at that age where the ultimate in sharpness (and, in my case, the 
ultimate in gray rendition <g>) is not a virtue.

   I plan to try the same experiment when I get a pre-War 90mm f/4 Elmar and 
will report the results. (Two Leica references to one Nikon. That should keep 
me safe. <g>)
