Calibration has too many variables
Some are not so bad: my 135/3.4 APO front focused when I got it, despite few signs of use. I missed everything. Infinity stop was good, though. Gradually I started using it more and more. Last 6 months I don't seem to be able to miss with it. Not because I have the english down, which is doable as the case demands. If you know to move a smudge to infinity WO at 3 meters, the mind remembers it and you can shoot just as fast. But my 135 has self healed! No english...Show more →
I still suspect ambient temperature has an influence on RF performance. I *think* the 50 Lux ASPH behaved differently in the winter than summer, in respect to RF calibration on the M9. I'll see how things go this summer with the M240.

Recently acquired a used 90 Macro-Elmar. Seems sharp but seeing some minor IQ quirks with it that have me wondering a bit. For example, with infinity scenes it peaks in sharpness at f/5.6. At f/8 there is what looks like some astigmatism creeping into the outer zone area. I maybe see this in the MTFs...
Nice, small lens, but a bit fiddly to focus at far distances due to the narrow diameter focusing ring and shot throw near infinity. Seems to be a tradeoff for the small size and that it's a 'macro' lens
Trying it out on my lunch break a couple days ago at a shoot. Third image is with the 50 Lux ASPH:

Seems to go on forever, Werner. Love it. Was f/22 sufficient for deep enough focus?

Thx, Ron, likewise great work !
Yes F22 nothing else, no focus stacking....etc.
BTW, i was smiling on your comment about temperature and RF: It seems we don't have any difference in temp from winter to summer here in Leica Land
Cheers Werner

Nice work, everybody
The day started overcast here, but things improved:

my search for flower power continues, here the 50 cron v4:
L1049676 by unoh7, on Flickr
That's at .7, F/8+ and once again I have to say Puts is right: the v4 formula is incredible close up, and it really turns into a color animal at this range. Not too shabby at infinity either
For fun the same flowers with 28 cron near MFD also, at F/11 +

28/2 and 2 from the 50cron
I have often photographed this mountain. But never were the woods so black. The 2013 Beaver Creek megafires swept these high alpine flanks, and this is the result.
A new stark green and black beauty.

More great shots!. Tops for me on this page are Huss' M7 output and Charlie's Cron IV flower shot.
Your film image intrigues me Richard (Coogee). What is it?
Great that we can have a harmonious international community through our shared love of Leica-based photography when the world continues to shock and anger with outrageous terrorist / hate-oriented killings.
I received my 1956 M3 in the mail a few days ago and had a chance to shoot it this morning. The first uses my Cron 50 Dual Range at f4 on A7R, the second a Canon LTM 50 f1.4 at f2.8. The Hawks Adapter comes in very useful.

A long way from Napoli.
Back in early March our first night in Scotland has us awaken to a covering of snow.
I was busy snapping the upper reaches of Loch Fyne from Cairndow in Argyll, when this young man stealthily trod passed on his way to work. i was lucky to get a shot in focus. Summarit 50 f2.4 on M9.

Hi David,
It's a sculpture in Sydney CBD, I don't know who the artist is but its in a nice spot (for street photography) just behind the MLC centre. I often find myself ending up near to it.
Your new M3 looks very fine, great stuff.
Thanks,
Richard

Thanks for the explanatory text and picture Richard, now the original image is explained.
I am very pleased with the M3. I snapped it up via the FB 'Leica Classifieds' page! Film loaded tonight and will shoot with it tomorrow. Now all I need is for someone to buy my M2 advertised on the B&S and elsewhere. 😳
