My favourite too, for your reasons, and for who this dangerous angel

Chaotic minimalism - a label I would like to work with!

Various lenses here... One old shot with a 35/2 Zuiko now in other hands, a
couple cropped from 4/3 with the 21/2, one drive-by with the 24-105L, one
35/2 Summicron R, one 28/1.8EF, and the rest with my current standard
choice, CV 40/2 Ultron EF. Except for the one you're asking about -
35/1.4L. Probably the best of the bunch for distortion, but focused around
1m like this you can still see it.

I've let it go to someone I met in Seattle a couple of years ago. Don't
think the price would have held you back; it was a list special from Bill
Barber and I've passed it on in the spirit it was given to me. Sorry!
