You beat me to it, totally agree, thinking they're not jeans at all, but body paint.

Thanks!! I partially agree, I didn't find yet better 35mm lens than Distagon 35mm f1.4 , I think Pancolar 80, Biotar 75mm both better lens than Planar 85mm f1.4. I did choice accidentally Distagon due they are same size with Planar and learn ... 35mm lenses can be good indeed as people lens.
