Here are a few from the four hours I spent around San Francisco this past Sunday. Taken with the M246 & 28 Elmarit & 50 Summicron.
Thank you! And nice photos you have there - which version of the elmarit 28 do you use?

Thank you too Ole! I have the latest elmarit with the screw on hood.
I forgot to mention that I leave a yellow filter attached to the elmarit at all times. I didn't mention it in my original post.

Puts has been going on via Facebook about the lamentable replacement cycle of Digital M which he finds wasteful, so yet another rationalization for me to push the M9 into the darkness, via CV 50/1.1:

No doubt M10 would have given me some DOF! I had two A7 mods as well, one with a 24/2 nFD, and the other behind my 75 Lux. 3 completely different IR cuts, and WB profiles, all having fits with the lights. There's one sure way to handle that.....
Sometimes I even....perish the thought....crop:

Thank you Rene! I also want to say I always enjoy seeing your photos - your landscapes from Switzerland are exquisite!
I am bringing my Leica to work every day now, using it a bit in the morning, around 6am, and a bit in the evening after work is over. Today the sunrise was fantastic, but of course the wonderful colours are only stored in my memory. Still, I wanted to see how the M246 rendered the details in the sky, so despite my rather stressful morning (had to finish a report and presentation by 8am...), i spend around 10 minutes to find a nice location in my office.
Below is the result. What I am particularly impressed with is the richness of the grey tones. They are so deep, without becoming dark. I dont think I can achieve quite the same with another camera, but that could also just be my lack of abilities of converting a colour image into black and white.
After my first week with the camera I really feel that I am enjoying it. Low light capabilities are fantastic, and shooting with high ISO is not be a worry. If anything, it adds some personality to the pictures, and that can also be good in some situations. Sadly, I had some challenges with my Summicron 75 which isn't perfectly calibrated to the rangefinder, but I think i can adapt to it without sending everything to Germany. My other lenses seem to be ok though. Next week I get to test the camera a lot more in Lofoten, and I have high expectations for what it can do with the sceneries up there

Great shot Ole with perfect graytones !
I can confirm your findings even showing with the CCD Monochrome: There is a difference to converted files...
Looking forward to your Lofoten pic's.
Cheers

I used to call it the "Karaagon", though Edward has since moved on to the 35/1.4. It was widely used on the M9 when that camera was first released and the Leica glass was literally thousands more than now. The 35 cron is far stronger WO, but the now 600USD Biogon has it's charm at F/2, for me. Edgey bokeh, sure, a bit, but I have yet to through out a shot for that reason. I really choose it for landscapes, but....

The other day I tested the M10 for a few hours. I am on the fence about it. On one hand I actually like the sensor, something I was shocked to learn (colors and cleanliness of the files is on point). But on the other hand, I'm happy with my M-D and am not sure if I really use the M enough to warrant the upgrade. Let's face it, it's really only the high ISO that I'm gaining, everything else like the "eye relief" doesn't really sway me. And others like lack of video (which is good when you need it) and shorter battery life to get the cam thinner are negatives to me. My hand actually cramped while using the camera. Something it doesn't do with the M-D. (Does it sound like I won't be able to resist much longer? I can't tell these days.)
But onto my point. I actually decided to test the M10 with the 35 Summicron-ASPH (the new hood style 11 blade one). I haven't had a Summicron-ASPH for a LONG time. Because I bought and fell in love with the FLE (at the time when I had tons of M lenses), I had sold the cron off long ago. So I was excited to test it. And honestly it let me down. It's very flat rendering, bad OOF characteristics and persistent flare was enough to make me glad that I didn't just buy it out of nostalgia a month back when I had the chance to get it cheap.
On the flip side, I encouraged a friend to buy the 35/2 ZM as he was looking for a first lens for his new M240 and I played with the 35/2 and I had the exact opposite feelings. Now I kinda want a 35/2 ZM and the only thing holding me back is not really using my M as much as I use to.
Weird tho, because the few of you who use the 35cron do an amazing job with it.
