A 75mm Summilux-M lens is on it's way to me. It should be here by the end of the week. I wonder if this will cause an upswing in M purchases for me? I wonder if I'll crack and buy an M10?
Thus far I've been good, after selling all my Leica M gear I spent the last over half a year with only the M-D and 50APO. Well also the SL + 24-90SL + 50SL + 90-280SL and Q (but shhhh they don't count!)

Or the Summaron-M f/5.6 28mm?

Adam, I am looking forward to see some portraits with the 75 lux from you. Will you be using it on the SL as well for easier focusing wide open? I am a little tempted by the SL as camera for my Noctilux and 24 Summilux myself.

Yes, if they make a black one!

That's a good question. I think I'll try both the SL and the M-D. Ultimately I'm hoping the calibration is good on this lens, because I'd like to use it with the M system. If not, I might see if they can fix it in Japan before my last resort which would be sending it to Germany. But there is no denying that the SL is probably going to be the easier/more frequently used camera with this lens. Though if I sell the SL, then I guess I'll be forced to use RF focusing (unless I buy a M10, then I guess I'll have to buy an EVF too).

Great images, everyone.
Still haven't go through all the images from last Italy trip yet.
Here are few from 21 SEM and M240. I just sold this black M240, replaced with another MP240 chrome for my classic Leica glass
For the way I use it, I am satisfied with it. Video and big battery are big plus and I don't need really high ISO for the M system. My M system will stabilize for a long term I think with newly added 90cron ASPH.
An interesting Lens. I had the experience before, and it didn't make it given my higher than normal expectation on this lens(it is such a famous lens) and Luka(denior) rated it very highly above MP100. It suffers at close focusing distance, and show CA with APO label. at that time, the copy I bought from Leica store also has slightly wobble so I return it.
Since returned the lens, I keep go back the images I took with this lens, and I know it will work for me. Now that I know what to expect, I bought it 2nd time, I need a long lens for Portrait and in the mean time it can cover my reaching need for travel, landscape. 90 elmar won't make it for f4, and 75 Summarit is a little short. (it is a stellar lens though)
Common knowledge is this is a high contrast lens, well, depend! compare to modern Zeiss or Canikony glass, it is actually pretty low contrast especially at close distance, (perfect for portrait) and at long distance, the performance is quite incredible even at f2, even for extreme corner, still not high contrast, but respond very well for sharpening. Vignette is also very well controlled, it might cover bigger sensor I think based on vignette profile I see.
Sorry for the long post AND no image to back the talk.

Allen, Really nice portrait.
I think I made a mistake visit Leica Store SF, after a quick test of new M10, I really want one. A superb camera
(mainly ergonomic and handling wise)
a few more from 60 years old 90mm Elmar
