Congrats Ryan! Interesting cars in your building's garage, considering you guys in AB have all of a few weeks of summer in which to actually drive these kinds of cars...
Congrats Edward! I know you've wanted this lens for a long time. Yes, I was surprised just how easy it was to focus wide open at all distances. Did you find it locally?
Nice sets Michael, Lenticular and Anh!
Just a few I don't think I posted, from about a month ago... Port Dover, at Lake Erie

Ron, my 90Cron AA did not need adjustments but it was a newer serial starting 4xxx. I tried an older 90Cron pre-ASPH and focus on that copy was all over the place. Also agree, 90Summarit is no slouch.
Oops, I forgot Phil, who probably has a secret stash of 50s in a vault somewhere? So how many 50s do you have now?
Joe
50 Noct 1f my favorite esp after 2 meters, sharp to infinity, this is not a garage queen in my hands, its prob my most used baby
50 Cron 6 Bit, what can you say it's a cron and a daily driver for most
Canon 50 1.4 LTM w/adapter - love this lens at 2f! totally artistic lens for me! and sharp, vomit at 1.5
5cm Summarit 1.5 talk about low contrast wide open! @4 it rocks
5cm Summicron 2 colaps Leitz very sharp wide open and love the rendering on this baby! Can you say olde skool?
Will post my 50 Nocti shots later
Phil
Mono and Noct w/.9 ND filter wide open, very bright day
Thank you very much Gary, Allen, Ron! I found it totally by chance at an online London based dealer. I hope to receive it by end of next week.
Phil, very nice sets, and the BIF shot is fantastic.
Tri Tran, lovely colors in the market set.
Ryan, congrats for the new M
Ron, colors and composition are amazing, as usual from you.
Luka, you always disaapear for a long time, and come back suddenly with real gems
Gary, amazing!!!
Michael, nice contrasty shots with the 50 Rigid. Brick wall looks sharp
Edward, the above portrait is beautiful, another superb portrait! Skin tones look beautiful. Also congrats on the 85Sonnar. Its a lovely lens, Can't wait to see you shoot with it.
David, excellent shots with those classic lenses, love the BIF shot! Can you share more pics with the Jupiter 8?
Tri-tran, very nice set with the 50Cron.
Ryan, congrats on the M240 (and the car? )
Ron, another excellent set from your local walks. You always seem to know where to look for good light.
Luka, excellent set, #1, 2 & 6 are my favorites but special mention to #3, wow! simply superb composition with the positioning of the diagonal line of ducks!! Love it!! Also like your crisp pp as always.
Gary, what a catch! Superb shot and the 50Cron rendering is really nice! Were you in camouflage?
Phil, Excellent Nocti shots. Looks really crisp but yet soft, hard to explain the f/1.0 magic?

A few from yesterday
50/1.0 on M240. RF focusing on this lens seems easier on the M240 than my Monochrom. I checked calibration with the M240's EVF and it seems spot on, with slight front focus, maybe that's why I had issues on the Monchrom.
Nikkor 5cm 1.4 @ f/1.4 on Monochrom
Seems glowy and flares unpredictably wide open but @f/2, it starts to really shine. What a classic gem. Thanks to Ron and Gary for their earlier samples and mini reviews.
Joe - looks like the focus in all of those is perfect. Those first two shots are great captures. I do know for sure that the M240 is easier to compose/focus than my M8 was. I think it is a combination of a newly calibrated body and the nice, bright framelines.
