Great shot, clearly the spherical abbaration is seen (the softening of the outside contours of the flute player and the cellist) it is as if the music brings tears to your eyes.

Very impressed with this portrait, Robert. I may reconsider my for sale ad in classifieds…

Agree with Helen! I like the angles and the tones look beautiful.

This photo required some postprocessing because in order to protect the highklights tha M10 underexposed the frame.
Again full open 1.5, 200 iso, 1/750 sec

Did you remove your lens from the classified?
No, not yet. Still thinking about it… Robert’s photos above are leaning me against selling but I haven’t made a decision yet.

So yesterday my wife and I went to Santa Cruz, CA, to see our son in law play a gig with the band he had played with in high school. I took along the Heliar Classic 50/1.5 on my ME-240. Before going to the concert, we went to the Santa Cruz Boardwalk with our daughter and granddaughter, and I took advantage of the scene there to take some street photos in both bw and color. It was a very sunny afternoon and I shot the Heliar Classic stopped down a bit for most of these. First, some sample bw shots...

Here are some color photos at the Boardwalk. The first was shot stopped down at about f.8; the second and third shots were taken at f.4. I have not adjusted the color, although I did make some adjustments in LR for exposure and clarity.

That evening we went to the gig at a Santa Cruz nightclub. I tried to shoot wide open as much as I could, but found it difficult to nail the focus (I had the iso cranked up to 6400) and wound up shooting at f2.0 and f2.8 to get a little depth of field. I'm finding that, at f1.5, the Heliar Classic's depth of field is very shallow; that's part of its charm, but also makes for tricky shooting in dark settings and with moving subjects. I like the way the Heliar Classic handled colors from the concert lighting; I have not adjusted these other than for exposure and clarity.
