I am often surprised how much the 45 can give wonderful portraits, I would instinctively reserve the 90 for that use, but the proof is the planar is an amazing tool for so many subjects... With your portrait, you give us a lesson of the genre, it is really perfect :) The personnality of this man pops up from the image, thanks to your balance of DoF, grain, light... bravo Jan!

ce monsieur a vécu et il est toujours le patron dans son café après son métier de boucher. Souvent j' hésite de demander au gens la permission de faire leur portrait, mais ça vas changer après les réactions sur le web, merçi
