What are you all doing the evening of March 6th 2015? I would love to see you all in Chicago. My exhibit at the Rangefinder Gallery, 300 W Superior, Chicago was moved up to Friday March 6th 2015. These are the images that they selected. They will be approx 17 X 11.5 mounted on 20 X 24 white 4 ply museum boards with white 4 ply over mats in simple black metal frames. Don't think these are what I would have selected but I do like the choices. I sent them 40 images IIRC and these are what they edit it down to. ...Show more →
Fantastic work Allen! Congratulations for the exhibition, so happy for you! Wish I could be there but it's a bit too far from Bangkok but please do post some shots from the vernissage.

Recently acquired a 35 cron 8 element and I'm enjoying the change from the summilux. It has a bit more pop reminisce of the Zeiss attribute that I'm fond of. The bokeh is very smooth but can be provoked in certain conditions (unlike the lux which is almost immune to nervous bokeh). It feels like a mix of a rigid cron + noctilux type of bokeh. Its sharp wide open but renders quite gentle (a lot more glow than the lux) however it has more pop than the summilux pre FLE even though its not as sharp. I haven't tested it for portraits but I would imagine it'll be extremely good with a lot more character than the lux. Here's an example of the different rendering between the two lens, not the best comparison but you get the idea
First one is the lux pre FLE second is 35cron v1, both wide open at close distance
