Edward, Strong set of that Chinese opera backstage. Love it.
aFrIcanS, the last one is very nice.
Joakim, I have to say Leica S glass really have a house rendering and indeed beautiful. 35 Summarit has the best WA bokeh I ever seen from any lens and your 30 has very similar look.
Now back to 35mm Summilux Pre-ASPH. this now become my favorite Leica M glass. I don't want put it down. Let MTF go hell
Should be all WO

Edward, thanks very much for your synopsis. I have a weakness for 'CAS' as well as GAS, otherwise an M240 or M262 may well have been clutched in my hands already
Your comments on M262 profiles vs the M9 are very telling.
The Aussie 2nd hand market can be very fickle as well as small in size, hence selling my M9 to fund an M262 is probably inadvisable and I have a Pentax K-1 and P645D that I have recently acquired / hanging onto respectively.
While I'm rabbiting on I should also add that he reason I do not have a ZM 35 f2 or f2.8 by now is that I made a surprise purchase of a VM 35 f1.2 Nokton I back in April, when I walked into a Melbourne shop, 'cashed-up' from selling a Pentax P67 body. I still want to try a ZM35 or ZM50 Planar some day.
Two shots from my trip, the first on a very gloomy autumn day with a gusting wind flattening the sea!

Thank you Zhangyue I can see why you love the 35 lux. The bokeh is beautiful.
David, I like both shots, but especially the b/w one. It has such a film look.

Thanks lenticular, and no the post wasn't long at all, I appreciate it. I may resort to buying an X-Rite Color Checker someday (i've heard of it but only just read up on it), but for the time being I'll try using daylight or tungsten WB as Edward suggested and see if it smoothens things out (thanks Edward).
Zhangyue - lovely set (and all your Mandler glass makes me super jealous)

You liking the Leica glow at f/1.4, or do you find yourself stopping down to f/2+ more often?

David, The last two are great images.
Edward, Yeh, the bokeh can be beautiful, can be really jittery but what I really like is its classic rendering with lovely handling. small like a lens cap and can go all the way to f1.4, sometimes, that is all I need for f1.4 lens. I don't need sharp to corner. I don't even need very sharp (though it is definitely sharp enough), I just need it give enough light in so that I can get the image.

It is not the glow I like (or not only) but the overall classic rendering, it almost like browse a mid-centre photography book during editing. In above images I didn't explore f2, I shoot most f1.4 or f11in my previous set but I am planing use it more at f2~2.8 in the future. It will be as sharp as most recent lens at those aperture save for corner which I don't need. That is reason I love the lens. It is a compromise but with taste.
f2
f11
f5.6?

Yah agree with you about the classic rendering. And it's really quite nice at any f-stop!

Allen - in awe of your street-shooting as usual. Love the 'dog-lover' shot in particular!
Charlie - fantastic fall (we say autumn here!) colors and perspectives (we say colour here!
).

A few from today with my latest LM lens, a VM 50 f1.5 Nokton (LTM), bought via the B&S.
I reckon I have saved myself a few $k, if I consider that I was tempted to look for a Summilux 50 ASPH (not that I have tried that rationale on my wife...she generally doesn't see my photographic expenditure
).

Awesome photos on this page guys!
Chas, that first contre-jour shot is outstanding!
Zhangyue, very nice beach photography
Werner, nice geometric study in the green watering can shot.
Steve, really like the blessing of the animals
Charlie, the colors in the last ZM 18 set are fantastic.
Allen, I'm out of words. You're the master! (kowtow )
David, I should have guessed you were "cheating" with the b/w shot
The rendering of the LTM VM 50/1.5 is very nice. Really like the portraits.
