"When I was posting, your Heliar f/2 portrait just disappeared!
I was saying:
Wow! It looks really nice, Raid!
This is a great portrait... Light is soft enough, but the whole frame is full of rich contrast... Her face in shadow is clear, even her right eye. The focus on the left eyelids is so precise... And the best: she looks in an intimate moment, she's not worried, not tired, not posing at all, just thinking in calm and being herself... And the background is so very smooth... And very balanced to in tones and geometry too. I bet this one must look great on paper with rich deep blacks and a good size... But there's a problem... your other girl will want one of hers just like that!
Congratulations!"

Thank you, Fergus.
I noticed on several occasions that having the lens at 2.0 was the only way to get an image. My 3.5 Heliar would not have worked.

Nice. I just got a R3m with 50f2 and I'm still figuring it out.

Hello Patois,
The 50/2.0 is great for portraits. I am sure that it is also good for other types of photography.The out of focus rendition at 2.0 is wonderful.

what speed did you have the xp2 rated at?

Joe,
The negative may have been underexposed or the scanning process created the extra grain. I usually expose XP2 film at ASA 200.
