Thanks everyone for your comments.
I love the tones in these Charles.
Nice Baris and looks like your getting your sea legs with the M9
Joakim I to like the tones and you seem to have kept nice shadow detail while maintaining that nice mood.

Hi,

This is my first time posting on this thread, but very much enjoy the images from everybody.

I have been using my M9 for 18 months now almost exclusively for landscape work.

These 3 shots were all taken on the Gold Coast is Australia near the seaway.

Cheers, Scott

Welcome aboard Scott! Here is one from a hike yesterday with 21SEM... This is fast becoming one of my favorite lenses. Incredibly sharp.

Thanks Gary,

Just a question about your 21 SEM, how does it perform in the corners, in particular the bottom right? I find that mine takes quite a bit to get it sharp, if at all.

I have been thinking that it may be faulty because the rest of the frame is so damn sharp.

Thanks, Scott

Thanks for the comments! Scott - my lens is super sharp right into the corners from f/5.6 onwards - perhaps even earlier. Also keep in mind I am using it on an M8 though...

Scott, welcome to this thread. 1 and 3 are beautifully executed.

Welcome to the thread Scott - nice images!

On the M9 I find my copy is slightly soft in the extreme corners wide open. But, I haven't yet done a formal brick wall test with it to determine if it's consistent in all corners...

I would think if yours is dramatically off in only one corner, then there is a problem with it.

Great set WeeSin - I think the 50 Planar suits that kind of lighting very nicely.
Gary- Very sharp shot!
Joakim - nice to see some sun - great way to wrap up the year!
Allen - quite the character. BTW, when I was there years ago, there were a bunch of topless women wandering around... I think it was related to some event...

Here are a few photos I did of a friend's wedding reception on Dec. 31, 2011. They had their wedding a few months earlier and held this reception for friends and family who were unable to attend and to coincide with New Year's. So, I hung out with him at the hotel while getting ready (reading over the speech), as well as helping him set up a photo booth (he's also a photographer), hence all the gear he's hauling around in a few of the shots.

All were with the 21 Lux except the 4th which was the 50 Lux ASPH.

Happy New Year everyone!

Thanks Allen, Ron, Michael, Charles, Edward, Andrew for the earlier comments.

Joakim, very nice shots from the X'mas market and with the 35Lux and 24Elmar. Congrats on the CV 15. The first shot of the fence with the CV15 is very nice.
Charles, those low light X'mas eve shots are very nice. The composition and colors on #1 with the M9 and Nocti is beautiful. Those MM and 24Lux shots are really excellent. #1 & 3 on the first MM and 24Lux beach shots are my favorites.
Ron, how did you get so much light into the 21SEM on the X'mas shot? Those office lights must be really bright

Allen, more excellent street shots with the MM. Those portraits are really good! The Santa bokeh shot looks cute.
Gary, congrats on the 21SEM and those shots are excellent. Really like the compositions on #2 & 4 on the first set.
BA-photos, nice set, keep sharing!
wstam, very nice set. Wow, the tonality on the first shot is stunning!
Scott, welcome to the thread. Nice set!
Ron, wow, love those B&W shots. The tonality and blacks are also excellent. All great and can't pick a favorite. Love the timing on that shot with the kissing in the foreground and women waving her hand in the background! I'm not sure if you changed your B&W pp lately with more blacks? Really nice work.

Joe, lovely family shots. Is it you in the first one?

Thanks Edward, yes that's me and the wifey

We have two boys, the older one is three and the infant is 2 months old.
