    Good replies. That's why I throw this stuff out there. Actually Mark's chin and beard trouble me more than the ladies. You get what you get with these. Backing up a foot would have been perhaps a better solution. I haven't made any waterhouse stops for this lens.

    Jeeez Jim, anybody who sees these shots will actually think you are a photographer.....LOL.

    Great work Jim, you keep doing wonders with these old lenses.

    Quite lovely, and I'm sure very much appreciated, Jim.

    Almost makes it worth getting married...

    Aside from what has already been mentioned I think the highlights on the man's nose in the first shot could be brought in a bit. Just a little local flash so it matches the others a bit.
