What a day unexpected turns all day long
M246 and Lux 50
Started with a Horse wash
Just after the Dog show the skies looked a little gloomy
20 minutes later
That's a snow shovel he is using
Equipment failure and the chain snapped, the one horse went running off wildly. Another team provided them the equipment and this team finished 3rd out of 11.

Hey Joe! How are you liking the 28lux? Seems to be a fine lens.
Just got it .. timed it with Leica store to arrive on the same day I got back to US
It is very very nice... I don't miss the 28Cron for now Leica keeps making mechanical improvements with each new release, the aperture ring has really nice damping and it feels like butter, nothing I have felt on my other M lenses. Small negatives - metal hood - these newer metal hoods will get nicks very easily vs plastic on old 28Cron but at least it won't crack easily like the 28Cron hood. Due to large diameter barrel, the focus tab extends beyond the body if left at 6 o'clock. so it will also get nicks in no time.. Optically, its smooth and sharp.. my copy is kind of stuck at f/1.4 right now
I see you got yourself a 28Cron? Congrats .. how do you like it so far? I'm keeping mine, it will be a classic in due time, but right now it relegated to video duty on my A7s2.

Thanks Joe. Yes, I'm always one step behind you guys... I did pick up a used 28cron from a very famous FM photographer whom we all know but I will keep a secret. I really like it so far and I find it just about perfect for street shooting. I have not had a chance to shoot with it much yet but have been out a few times. Time will tell but so far, so good. The hood is massive though - may have to look into a smaller cheapo vented version.
