Edward, excellent shot of the bus and really like the colors on this one. Also like how the passengers' arms form a nice diagonal on the composition. The dinner portraits are also excellent, so which Adobe profile did you chose for these shots? I agree, if Ricoh made a FF M mount GXR I would interested as well.

Gary, nice fun set in the snow!
Winston, excellent B&W shot at the Lourve. Looking forward to more post from you.
Ron, thanks for the link. maybe there is hope for a larger sensor GRD V this year. I'm probably going to end up with analysis paralysis, ie too many cameras to choose and no pics to show
Joakim, the last 2 shots are excellent, superb rendering with the 50Lux.

Good morning, everyone

Joakim - nice set of images, that 50 Lux rendering makes me drooling

Edward, lovely portraits (and dinner, I might say)

Joe, thanks!

Taken at Jakarta's old harbor, 35 Nokton II at f/4

Winston, I love the sand/desert picture and the shadow one. Welcome to the thread!

Some Mono + Cron

Thanks for your comments, Joe, Winston.

Love that last shot Winston, works very well in b/w.

Joe, I finally decided to stick to embedded. If it ain't broken, don't fix it Both have some colors that I don't really like, but adobe standard is too, well, adobe. Embedded produces more unique character imho. As for Ricoh, I wonder what happened to them. They were on the right track, but since they bought Pentax, it seems they got the Pentax syndrom

Hi Ryan, thanks! I like your 1st photo as it shows contrasting subjects and the last one, too.

Inspiring photos here

@Charles; thanks! The portrait is simply striking! Is that from the 50 Nocti?

One landscape photo before I go home:

Storm Warning - M9, 21/2.8 Biogon

Sorry for the graphic nature, but I couldn't pass up this gnarly abstract from the streets of Los Angeles. If it is too much, let me know, and I'll remove it. M9+50 collapsible:

Good stuff everyone.
Haven't been shooting much at all for me lately. A couple from today

Charles...
The shot of the cave with waterfall is awesome...
The exposure is dead on....!

An urban composition - M9, 21/2.8 Biogon

Ryan, that last photo with the black silhouette on white is nice.
Tri, I recognize SF chinatown from any angle
Edward, one of the pics you had post a while ago convinced me that I had to try the ZM50 planar

Here's one with my newly acquired ZM50 planar, i actually kind of like it better for general use than any other 50 i tried (although the 50 sonar did have its charms):



Then one from the ZM25:

Tri tran, nice shots! I really like the last shot of the graffiti
Winston and Paul thank you
Winston, yes it is the 50 Nocti f/1.0. Love your two shots!
Douglas, interesting captures! Great lens.
Airfrog, love the last shot! Beautiful shades and composition.
Jabberwockt, great perspective with #2

Shot this evening of a Spanish guitarist M9P 50 Nocti f/1.0

Charles, that is a beautiful BW portrait!

Thanks. It is Chinatown in San Francisco.

+1 on the potrait, very interesting expression from the guitarist, particularly the eyes, nice BW toning. Also, to my eyes it has some of that classic Mandler glow to the rendering.

Charles, thank you very much for your comments! Love your color set, all photos are very nicely shot, especially the 2nd portrait and the cave shot. The guitarist shot is superb, but I wish there was more sharpness on the eyes.

Tri Tran, exquisite colors and composition. 1st is my favourite.

Winston, beautiful desert shot, love the dramatic light!

Douglas, that is what photography is about. Thanks for posting that shot.

Allen, nice abstracts and tonality.

Jabber, congrats on your new Planar. I'm sure you will love it as I do. The 25 is also perfect but I use it less often. Great shots!
