Hi Moose, here are are a random selection of some medium/large prints
from me (sorry, I just grabbed a list of URLs and plonked them in
here). These by no means all subscribe to my "typical" style, they are
quite varied - but hopefully there is still a shared compositional
vision behind most of them.

I was afraid of that... The interesting thing is, I wonder what would
be the best 35mm lenses for the job?
Certainly not the modern Leica ASPH lenses, they have awful bokeh
(except for the 50/1.4, which does seem mostly admirable).

You are probably right. Ironically, one has to admit that the Zuikos
come closer to this than most other 35mm lenses
(I recall, in general, many CaNikon lenses to be much more harsh than
the Zuikos. The Zeiss SLR lenses are quite nice
though, but so darn huge, and optically overrated for what they cost).
It's a pleasure as always to discuss these things.
