This type of look is what brought me to Leica and the Q.

Haven't post here for awhile but I visit this thread daily. Love all the images, very high quality on diverse topics.
Here is one I took a couple weeks ago when my daughter playing around my desk. I forgot to change ISO so a bit blurry at 1/12s.
M9 Lux35 pre-FLE

Just tons of striking shots last 5 pages 
We have two real towns in our valley, a rich one and a working class one, about 12 miles apart. I live in between So we had a new covered ice rink open in the working class town tonite and as usual I took the M9 and and A7.mod. On the M9 I used the CV 35/1.2 and 75Lux, and I was fumbling something fierce with focus, and I thought I'd throw out most of it just OOF. I shot the lux at f/4, because there was some light.

Turns out f/4 was enough to equal the focus keeper rate of the A7 EVF

Leica M240 with the Zeiss Biogon ZM 35/1.4 all taken wide open apart from the last two images. There is something about this lens that seems to really agree with my creative style. It is very sharp even wide open and the DOF/bokeh does remind me a lot of the look I get from medium format film when a 80mm lens is used at f4

Nico - I agree, the lens definitely has a great rendering quality.
Charlie - great work with the focus, even if you missed a bunch. It's a great way to practice hand-eye coordination!
From the Mount Washington neighborhood overlooking downtown Pittsburgh:
M240 & CV35/1.7M all around f/8ish, coded as 35 Cron ASPH.

Sneaking around Heritage Park at night are you. Don't know of any soccer facilities there.
As I ponder on your shots I understand. You are shooting High ISO's as you didn't want anyone seeing you using a Sony.
Using the Sony in the dark no one notices. Beware Sony leads to the darkside of the force and the Leica to the light.
Hope you are enjoying your Sony.

Thanks Adam (and everyone else!)
I have one quick question about my 35 FLE. It seems to me it has poor chromatic aberration performance. I have yet to test it without a filter (though that said, my other lenses use the same B+Ws). It is coded, but from my understanding coding doesn't remove CA? Neither does lightroom for that matter, which means in such high contrast scenarios I end up having to fix it in lightroom manually. The vignetting is pretty bad too, but that I feel I can live with. One example is the first pic below:

Otherwise, I'm really enjoying this lens -

Thanks Robert! I knew you would recognize the area.... Soccer practice is typically in schools in the SW. Cheers.

Finally got my film back but its a real pain scanning 135s. Sharpness looks horrible and I think thats because of my scanning technique. Going to spend some time working out the kinks but here are some to share. I'll post them in sequence after I sort out the scanning issues. They were taken with a 28 or 35 cron and trix, velvia and provia.

Small piece of ice on black asphalt, must take photos. Weird photographer with M9 and 28 Summicron

Wow shots, Joakim! Just curious, did you use LV on your M9 for the last shot? Or were you lying flat on the asphalt in the middle of the road?

Thanks Edward!
LV on M9? Articulated LCD? No, manual technique with a manual camera. I focused the camera from the same angle as the second photo then slowly lowering the camera to the ground while trying to keep the same distance. I then took a bunch of exposures slightly moving the camera forward or backward between the shoots.

Of course, I was just kidding about LV
Great focusing technique! Never thought of that. It's amazing that despite the rangefinder's limitations, it's possible to take such shots that rely so much on the photographer's skills and experience. Well done Joakim!
