Welcome to the forum Robert. You will find the Monochrom is more than a fascination and it will be a lasting one. I like your black and white shot, very nice contrasts and texture.
Ron - not surprised of the dust bunnies. I changed lenses that day probably 20 times. I use the Novoflex Nikon-M adapter and it allows to change the aperture much like the Nikon G to EOS adapter design does by using the aperture nib on the back of the lens. Slight turn of inner ring on the adapter and you can go from F1.2 upto F45 depending on how far you turn.
I like the new style of shots you are shooting nice effect.

Charlie, I'm really liking your landscapes recently. It seems you're consistently finding good light and the colors are wonderful.
Ron, great shots again. I guess you can't fault the planar for being not as sharp as the lux here

Very impressive shots, Joakim. They make me want to fill the gap between my 50mm and 90mm lenses.

Joakim - great work with focusing on the runners! I like both the 75 and 35 runner photos very much. How good was your hit rate (in focus percentage)?
Some scenes from 30,000 feet, give or take, over the southwest US...
Westjet 737 shot from an Air Canada A320 a couple thousand (?) feet below:
And some aerial abstracts.... with liberal saturation and contrast enhancements!
All M240 & 90AA

TY for kind words, Edward
Ron, nice to see the experimentation and variety of shots
Joakim, I like those 75 shots too.
Rocky, nice set
Perfect storm here. After a very dry winter, we just had three weeks of daily cloudbursts, and it's had a strong effect. Trails are only just dry enough to use.
Today I was loaded and ready to go, but clouds came over just after lunch. I took a nap. Woke at 4:45 with sun in my eyes, and stumbled out the door...

Thanks, I feel that 75mm complements 50mm very nicely and that it isn't to close.

Thanks, I don't have any numbers because I have already trashed all the duds but overall the hit rate was so-so. I had the most success in the beginning when I shot the 75 because there wasn't so many runners at the time so I could pre-focus at some mark and then let them run into focus so to speak. When I used the 35 and there were much more runners and I was much closer to the action then I just set my focus to guessed distance and hoped it worked. The main user error was to slow shutter speeds in many exposures, specially when being very close.
Overall a fun experience though but I need more practice on this, on the technical side high ISO capabilities, weather sealing and a large buffer where all very welcome yesterday.
A last batch from the race. First and last with the 75/2.4 Summarit, the middle one with the 35 Lux

Wow, Joakim, fantastic images. Different take on sports photography.
Ron, you've taken some extraordinary shots from the plane. They remind of the style of Yann Arthus-Bertrand. Beautiful!
Charlie, I repeat my compliments about your landscapes
I went out shooting some street today, photos to follow next, but a funny incident happened. A Thai lady came to me and asked if I was shooting with an Olympus. I showed her the M240 and said it's a Leica. She looked perplexed and said she doesn't know this brand. I replied yeah, it's an old people's camera and she seemed to agree

Thank you Joakim!
Indeed the black M240 with the tiny silver ZM 2.8/35 really look like some old film gear from the sixties. It wasn't difficult to make her believe that

Edward, I would say pretty good job for an old guy using an old, outdated camera.
I went for a walk along the beach this morning with my best friend, Piper, and my M240 fitted with a newly-acquired ZM 2.8/15. I was anxious to learn if the ZM can compete with the Canon 14mm 2.8 II that I have used for wide shots up until now. It's too early to tell, but I was impressed with the ZM. I feel that any shortcomings of the following shots were the fault of the photographer, not the lens.
Walton County, Florida, where I live, has 15 named coastal dune lakes along 26 miles of coastline. These lakes are a unique geographical feature and are only found in Madagascar, Australia, New Zealand, Oregon, and here in Walton County. These shots were taken at the point of outflow of Big Redfish Lake into the Gulf of Mexico.
Piper having fun!
Looking west along the beach at the mouth of Big Redfish outflow.
Looking east with camera inches off the surface.
