Choosing a 50mm can be a challenge.  The Canon 50/1.4 is crisp, and has
beautiful close-up bokeh.  But its close focus distance is 3 ft.  The Leica
Summicron-R 50/2 will focus to 18 inches, but the bokeh is not quite as
smooth.  Here are a couple of early morning shots with the Summicron.

The little Skipper has large eyes that seem to see in all directions.

After Barney posted a Spider Lily yesterday, I looked around, and, sure
enough, found a couple.  This is not as clean as Barney's shot with the
nice black background, but illustrates the Summicron's bokeh.
