nice set Charles, i really like the nocti images

...will the 75lux give a similar look you think? im about to get one here locally

Thank you Edwin

The 75 Lux, well calibrated will give a very similar Mandler look to the images. Though both the 50 Nocti f/1.0 and 75 Lux need to be very accurately calibrated for your style of shooting. In many ways the 75 Lux gives a more "elegant" look to portraits. This may well have to do with the perspective too

Thank you airfrog

You've got some amazing B&W street shots on pages 597-598. I wish I had the guts to approach people so close

Thanks SO MUCH for the kind words. I don't think theres any secret, I just talk to folks and try and treat them with respect. I think that they sense that I'm not trying to exploit them and I do think they feel the joy I have of what I'm doing. When I'm trying to find the moment when repeating shapes words in the background or other visual elements are supporting the subject I clearly don't have the luxury to ask first. I carry myself like I belong there and if some stops and asks what I'm doing I full explain the work even show them images and if they want I will send them a print. I love it and I do see a difference in my work since getting the MM from using a DSLR. I don't think the camera and lens combo is as intimidating.

Love your work to. You have such a keen eye for design and balance. Embrace your vision. It ROCKS. There are many things that I see in your work I wish I could see and I admire it but alas its not the way I see when I work. Keep up the great work. Theres are some amazing images in this thread from some killer photographers and all different styles and types of work I find very inspiring. KEEP IT UP everyone.

Thank you very much Charles! Love your Bangkok shots, especially the lady at Wat Pathum. It's nice to see a different perspective from a familiar place

Airfrog, spoken like a true artist! Thank you for the compliments too

The MM is not forgiving when it comes to highlight recovery.

Definitely enjoying it, so much so that I decided to keep it and not get the M typ 240 as I had previously planned

It has everything I love about rangefinders plus those beautiful colors.

I had a good buddies M9 when I went to the Keys. He let me barrow it. I got the 35 lux in before my MM. I really liked the M9 a lot. In fact I am still tossing around the idea of picking one up or maybe grabbing an M-E. The M-E has the same sensor as the M9 correct?

I am anxious to see what the new M will look like and if they will eventually make an M-E with the CMOS sensor.
