Ole those are stellar! I always wanted to try one of those lenses out myself. I'm using the Super Angolon 21mm f/3.4 myself but I'd love to try the Biogon one day.

Thanks Abram! I think if you prefer a wide angle that is small and without distortion, this is a good choice. But it needs to be stopped down to f8 to get decent corner sharpness in my opinion. By comparison, my Loxia 21 for Sony A7 has significantly better across the field sharpness, and I would guess that Leica's more modern UWAs does as well. How do you find the Super Angulon in this regard?

Night images with the M10 and Summilux-50 pre-ASPH shot at ISO 3200 — in highly mixed light with huge color casts on skin tones; so one has to decide how much and where to neutralize. The first one was shot at 1/45 sec, so there is some camera motion.

Jon,
I'm ploughing through a number of the M9... image thread pages, having recently returned home from a long trip (images to be posted in due course).
Noticing your query on 50mm lenses, I have many images that I made a few years back, all still-life test shots at home. I'm in the process of uploading these to a Google Drive folder as I type this, link below
The lenses are:
Summilux-M 50 v1 (with some fungus / haze!)
Contax G45 f/2 (converted to LM)
Jupiter-8 (50 f/2)
Canon LTM 50 f/1.4 (the Japanese Summilux)
Industar-61 LTM (53mm f/2.8, New Old Stock)
Album of lens test shots
I also have the same test shots done on my then Sony A7R (no Kolari mod, however I am not uploading those at this time).
Two lenses that I rate highly that I did not own then, but do now, are the Summarit 50 f/2.4 and Voigtlander Nokton 50 f/1.2 LTM (Version 1). I also really regret selling a V4 Summicron-M 50 that was my first genuine Leica lens.
I realise that most if not all of these lenses may fall outside your interest sphere, however I thought I would upload for possible interest. I had them uploaded as a Flickr album some time ago but they aren't there any longer.
PS - I also generally have Flickr albums that clearly state the source camera and lens for most images.

Indeed there are many cheap M8 around, even in mint condition here in Bangkok, but I don't think it's worth it to get one even with the great b/w conversions. The electronics must be at the end of their life, starting with the LCD.adamdewilde wrote
Haven't had much time for "fun" photography. ... The reason I've even been shooting with the SL at all lately (in my spare time) is that I'm testing the 50SL again (production copy/my own copy) and I'm curious if there is anything any of you want to see specifically?AbramG wrote
If one is only shooting film and debating between a 35 Summicron ASPH and the 35 Summilux ASPH (the Pre-FLE version), what would make you swing one way over the other. I'm weighing the pros and cons and I keep arriving at a stalemate more or less.Earlier quote

Wow,
I've just worked my way through about 20 pages of this superb thread, over 2-3 days.
Wonderful imagery as usual.
I didn't use my M9 as much as expect ed on our recent holiday, but when I did it was rewarding as usual. I carried only two compatible lenses, a ZM25 f/2.8 and a Voigtländer Nokton 50 f/1.5 LTM. The ZM stayed almost always on my infrared-modified Ricoh GXR, so the Nokton was in heavy use.
Here are some from Buenos Aires, all with Nokton 50 f/1.5 LTM on M9.

I've only been using the SA21 on film so far (I don't have a digital M anymore, but at the rate my digital equipment has been turning over I probably will come full circle back to the M240 before long haha). From what I have been able to tell the SA has really excellent central sharpness but it's not "brutal" it has a lot of that famous "Leica Glow™" but I do enjoy it quite a bit. It vignettes heavily but as I'm primarily working in black and white I find I don't mind that too much.
As to across the frame sharpness, from what I've seen on film so far it seems "best" at f/8 but very good at all other apertures. It's definitely a character lens but I kind of like it that way. Also where I live in California it's almost always sunny and I've got a tendency to shoot 400 ISO black and white film so I'm almost always at 1/1000 and f/8-11 anyways

I love my 21SA too! It's special on b/w film, I love its freedom from distortion and it's a great size as an object. It's ropey and terrible too!! but can work on b/w film really nicely, I share your feelings on ISO400 -> f/8. The hood made a massive difference with mine.
