Michael, excellent shots with the 35CronV1 and 50Lux! 35CronV1 is really impressive. As for your 50Lux, if it was me, I would just repair it while its there and get over with it, even though its expensive. Leica labor and repair prices are not fixed and it could be even more expensive in the future if you change your mind for resale or other reasons. And you would have to go through the hassle of sending it in and getting quotes, waiting, etc.
Allen, excellent street shots! First one is my favorite
Ron, excellent set! 90 Summarit looking really good in your hands!
Lovely shot. Reminds me a little of the Nocti 1.0. I'm not a fan of either lens, but they can both produce stellar results like this when you get it right.
Joe, Like that your kid on the street shot, very nice pose and moment. Looks like you enjoy that lens.
Edwards, those first two are very nice portraits. Color and process as beautiful as model
Here are more from Hangzhou, some photos I never processed.
all from 50cron Rigid
and one from 35cron V1, forget code it, hence the color corner.
Ed I really like the two portraits and both street shots especially the last one
Joe what a cutie and well captured with the 1.1 nocton
Zhangyue I really like #1 to...
Hey all. i have seen some of these photos before. nice work all. one or two of you have seen this too, but I'll show it again anyway... my two best from the weekend likely...
Is it that black and white suites me, or suites these two photos? Who can be sure...
Nice monochrome shot, and the tonality is great. I personally would give it a bit more contrast but that would be another interpretation.
Doug, I have seen these somewhere else too Indeed I think b/w suits the first shot very well. Quite dramatic. The second would look good in color too, because of the flowers.
well, I agree in a way Edward, I thought about color for it, but I went BW trying to tie the time line look of the bike with the shot. I added some grain to it as well for that reason. It actually is one of those photos that would lend itself well to a combined color and BW. Color the flowers, and BW everything else. But I didn't have time to do that effect this weekend. But the beauty of digital is, we can have both.
Dale, nice shot. He's concentrating so "Intensely".
Another cute little guy in the CV 1.1 shot Joe. That's a really nice CV shot. I just sold mine recently. Opting to put the money in a current version 50 lux. I may regret it, that is a really well built lens.
Thanks Edward and Taylor, I love the different opinions and muse each and everyone has here and what they can do with there leica's to suit there signature style
The shot was taken at a very old closed coroners building downtown, place was a bit creepy (seriously) with ritual markings all over the place
