Gary, I totally agree! Really enjoy your images taken with M240/28mm Summicron-M ASPH. I have been using my M240 a bit more recently. The more I use, the more I appreciate how well many Leica lenses perform on the M240.

Cal, thanks for the reminder - want to go see it! I assume it's worthwhile?

It appears Leica Shop in Vienna has it in stock for 872.50 Euro (pre-VAT), 1047 Euro with VAT... that's about $100 less than US retail after exchange. Free international shipping from them, too.
I don't know about exchange rates in Canada, but as of today in the US where I preordered, it's actually about 92 cents cheaper, or essentially a wash, not that I'm counting.
But seriously and not trying to be a nudge, but with one day shipping it's a far better deal for me. Plus since I'm in NY I can return in person if there are problems....Show more →
My primary point, which maybe wasn't so clear, was that it already appears to be in stock from that vendor in Austria... in case someone needed one immediately.
My calculations with exchange result in about $1000 US, vs. $1099 indicated by B&H. I suppose other shops might offer it for less? IIRC, the lens was originally $899 or $999 for the Sony version, but went up to $1100 rather quickly.
Seeing as how many in the US seem to enjoy avoiding state retail sales tax, ordering it from overseas with free shipping would probably avoid the ~9% NY sales tax. Not that I'm advocating avoiding paying tax...

Great stuff, everybody!
Mermaid Parade? Why don't we have one of those?
I really enjoy the shots of modern art by Joakim and Ron. Joakim, the noctilux really shins in your shot of the space thingy: I love the way it has rendered the OOF tip of the ship
I often make two versions of my landscape subjects which have close foregrounds, "classic" with an emphasis on DOF, and "fast":
Summer Crisp by unoh7, 50cron (v4)
Late Summer by unoh7, 50cron
Fireway by unoh7, 28 cron
Summer Foothills by unoh7, 28 cron
Hot, Dry and gorgeous
We continue to have periods of heavy smoke, even the evening following these shots by dusk it was quite thick. Not close enough for a direct threat, but Bejing often has better air than us in the last month
First ride on a motorbike after a month on the e-bike :
Camera Bag by unoh7,50cron

Nice to see this thread moving fast again
Great work from everyone, but please let me single out Werner's fantastic sunflower shot, Gary's colorful street shots with the 28 cron, retrofocus' vintage looking color film photos, and Ron's last set.
Keep it coming guys!

Some great street shooting up there, in all my favorite styles
..and a sweet jump shot too
Sun is setting sooner, and on this ride it had long gone from the canyons when I started off. But I did finally catch a last few rays from one high ridge:
One Track by unoh7, on Flickr
late snack by unoh7, on Flickr
End of Summer by unoh7, on Flickr
Southern Dusk by unoh7, on Flickr
West Light by unoh7, on Flickr
all w/50cron
Right after these shots, I pulled out my light and clipped it to the handle bar mount, but one sharp turn and a cable knocked it off. I hadn't turned it one, but luckily I noticed, and even more lucky it still worked TYG because an hour later I was deep in a draw on a over grown trail which would have a been a nightmare in the dark.
My lesson: don't mount the light before you want it
