Is this tongue-in-cheek?
Shine a strong flashlight through the lens and be prepared for a real shock.

Anyway, just because you can doesn't mean you absolutely have to shoot wide open.

Ya, tongue-in-cheek.

This copy has haze and many fine scratches, so wide open is no no. Stopped down, it works just fine.

Thanks, Erik. I love this little lens.

Now summer's over in the UK I'm getting my darkroom set up again and plan to spend a few evenings in the next couple of weeks printing up the best stuff from all my trips this year. Can't wait to see how those last two turn out in print.

Good luck! Try split grade printing.
