In part, this page looks at the effectiveness of Eye AF on the Panasonic S1R for human eyes—not quite good enough, which is a pity given the gorgeous lens performance.

In spite of the failure of Eye AF to nail focus on the iris of the eyes, these examples nonetheless show off the spectacular rendering of the Leica 50mm f/1.4 Summilux-SL ASPH for portrait applications.
