Whatever possessed me to think that I could live without an M?

More than likely I will keep the Q as a supplement to the M, because there are occasions when autofocus is nice to have, but if I had to choose one over the other, I would definitely choose the M.
Here are a few shots from my trip to Savannah, GA over the weekend, all taken with the M240 and Summilux 50...Show more →
Savannah is a great town. I'm there every 6 months for a week.

Thanks Gary. Just looking through some wonderful posts from everyone here that I missed while on vacation.

Fantastic characters in Key West Allen! I've just shared that part of this thread with my stepdaughter and her new (oops, first and only I hope 
) husband, in case they get to Key West. They are in Miami from today...
Abram - Bath is my alma mater town and we were back for a couple of days in December last year. It was as beautiful and photogenic as ever.

Awesome! I really was pleasantly surprised by the entire town. My friend and I honestly knew nothing about it but we were looking for coffee on our way back to London (before we headed to Amsterdam). We read a review on a place in Bath (Colonna & Smalls) and decided to make the short detour to check it out.
It was such a lovely town and we both enjoyed walking the streets and admiring the architecture and environment (and the coffee!)
I would love to visit there again someday.

Ryan, beautiful light and subject. The lens rendering is superb.
Robert, the shot of the guy with the yellow shoes is priceless
Coogee, nice shots but wish they were closer. Most people will refuse to have their photo taken if asked, but one should always try nevertheless
Abram, nice shot and town. It's on my itinerary when I visit London next March.
Allen, I really like your last set. It's a change from your usual style, but even more powerful. Love the close up wide angle portraits.
Spyro, excellent street work. Am I still seeing some glow?

Hi Edward, yes it glows a bit, there were some rain droplets on the lens and I dont use a hood so that might have something to do with it. But contrast and sharpness is high so I'm not worried

Thanks. The view from our balcony in the condo we rented. We were only 50 ft from the Atlantic ocean.

Ron, the CV35/1.7 you are shooting with, is this the new Voigtländer lens? The photos have a 3D look to me.

Hi Hilmar, thanks! Yes it is the new one.
For the price, it's a very good lens and optically I can't complain too much about it. But it's not perfect. It lacks some Leica M haptic qualities, such as focus feel, due to the lack of focusing tab, which I definitely miss. The lack of the red dot to assist mounting also causes me to lose time when changing lenses, trying to determine the correct orientation. This isn't a problem with Leica lenses, in part due to the focusing tab always being in one general area, and the rectangular hoods make it easy to determine orientation. The CV feels the same no matter which way it's rotated, so it is always necessary to look at it when mounting on the camera. Seems like a minor quibble, but when trying to change lenses quickly, it becomes very annoying (for me).

The lens seems to be perfect value for money to me. I had the possibility to try it out for a very short time. I really liked it. I had the impression though that the darker tones are relatively dark compared to modern Leica lenses (blacks seemed to clip rather quickly) and I had the feeling that in comparison to the Summilux 35 the lens required a considerably longer exposure time to have the image exposed properly (I've taken into account that this is a 1.7 aperture wide open, of course). Do you agree with my findings?
Edit: and it seems to be a high contrast lens.

Seems like whatever I throw at my Leica X Vario, it gets the shot. Amazing camera in many respects. Thanks for looking.

Waiting for the bus. I think this it the first time I did not mind that the 90AA flares.

Abram, nice shot and town. It's on my itinerary when I visit London next March.
Thanks for the feedback Edward. I'm most comfortable (trying to) make architectural/urban scenes and then let people wander into them (I've already come a fair way to reach that point!)
I'm not so comfortable getting in close to people. I tend to head for tourist spots where it's easier to blend in, or do the old 'concentrate intensely on some thing behind my subject' routine. I'm not interested in shooting without using the viewfinder (I love my geometry too much!)
Slowly but surely maybe, my subjects might get a little larger!
I'm certainly inspired by Allen's wonderful pictures and these recent portraits.
-The swimmer shot is great, like a Max Dupain shot, someone else who saw the world only in black and white.
re: Bath - I grew up in and around Bath/Somerset. Love all the Georgian architecture and narrow streets. Somerset is about my favourite part of the world, though I prefer the smaller market towns to the 'hustle and bustle' of Bath.
