Steve, congrats on your M9 and nice shots, especially the composition on the 1st one!
Seth, nice shots with the M4. Post some here or try the film thread in the ALT section as Luka suggested. Some great stuff there too.
Nothing beats film for feel, depth and rendering. A roll of Portra on my M6 beats the "look" I get on the M9, no contest at all.
Not up to the standards on this thread, but hope you all don't mind if I share these, M6 TTL 50 Cron & Portra 160. Zero pp. If only film was cheaper ....
Thanks Charles, Denoir, and Joe. I'm looking, reading, and listening. I have owned a few voigt, and a few zeiss, with reasonable luck with former, and great luck with latter. I will soon hopefully sort this out and decide what to do. Well, maybe not SO soon, but I am working on it anyway. :-)
Joe, great car reflection shot. The building shot too, awesome.
I've decided to....just going to wait a couple of months (wait for bonus check ) and live vicariously through you guys. I am going to go with M8 / ZM 25 / 50 1.4 Pre-ASPH / 75 (thinking the new CV 1.8 as I have seen great samples from it)

Don't forget to multiply by 1.33x. The 25 will be slightly wide, the other two tele. Are you sure you don't want to shift down the range a bit?

Yeah, I will be keeping DSLR for wider stuff and Leica for a light weight city/travel kit
I was about to post a reply until your benches appeared. So, in the pretext of testing my Nokton 50/1.5, I ran out and shot these in honor of both of you and Paul. Light was fading fast. Last pic is a bench from my backyard.
M9 Nokton 50/1.5 all wide open except the first one at /f 5.7 or thereabouts
I am sure it will be fully tested when it arrives
