Thanks Edward. I have been pretty happy with the M240 color output and find it doesn't usually need much (if any) adjustment. Sometimes the reds get quite hot but not too often...

Very nice it brings back good memories for me. Lived down there in 72-74 (Coleman) and in 2009 I took part of the Sinister 7 race, I was part of a relay running team and my section was the backside of Turtle Mountain south of Hillcrest then up over the pass and back down into Blairmore in all 16km. Toughest 16km I ever had to run.

Thanks for posting the image.
Wow man, I have seen a few folks start sections of the S7 and not look so good, so kudos to you for runnin that section.
You know this is an area I haven't really explored so I am just starting to scratch the surface so any thoughts on neat locations within the pass I'd love to hear from a "local" slightly removed hehe.. Especially from another M shooter!!
Thanks Ole, it is definitely on the radar! Lofoten is also on the radar, and you seem to be doing it great justice with your images!! That 35mm Zeiss sings for you for sure! I am really enjoying your side placement for the mountains, it isn't what I would expect normally, but is doing wonders in building some visual tension.

Thank you so much Jeremy. Thats very nice of you to say! I guess placing the mountains a bit on the side was natural for me to do because of the layout with fairly small beaches that were covered by mountains on each side. But if this also added tension then I could not be more happy. I remember Ming Thein's blog posts about tension and balance. I always enjoy Ming's writings (and he has really had an influence on how I try to think about my photos), and that post was one of his best I think.
Another Lofoten photo. This one is taken from Vikbukta and the walking path between Haukland and Utakleiv beach. While most of my days in Lofoten where very dark, wet and windy, this day was the opposite. Blue sky (most of the time) and just a modest wind coming from the north, albeit strong enough to create some angry waves.
One of your best Werner, in my humble opinion of course.
Looks like the MM, M246 and film images are staging a bit of a monochrome takeover recently, in addition to Werner and Joakim's Leica MF submissions.
Would I be flamed (in a suitably gentle manner practised by members of this thread), if I submitted Ricoh GXR LM A12 sensor module photos, taken using LM / LTM lenses?
I experimentally test the waters with these three, taken yesterday...
All with Contax G21 f/2.8 on the APSC A12 module.
... If it redeems me, I was also using my 1956 M3 SS with Canon 50 f/1.4 LTM.
