Long time no posts. Great works here as always. Here is one from my last trip to Canada Banff Jasper area. What a wonderful experience and beautiful country.

Anyone here use / tried the Voigtlander 28mm f3.5 on any FF Leica camera? I'm just curious about if it can handle being digital and render normally... meaning, can vignetting be controlled, are there any weird colour distortions on the side.
I've been curious about adding something a touch wider than my 35, and 28 seems a nice balance of being able to still use the VF/RF, and not being so wide as to give an unusual appearance (which is a lazy way of saying it, sorry). But at the same time I am aware I got the 50/1.5 (new version), a couple of years ago, which is a really 'nice' lens, but I've never actually shot with it... Still, nice to have a 50 around, isn't it

I agree on the shot quality Edward, but I would have been even more impressed if Michael could have rapidly switched focus to his son jumping! 😜
On another subject, I intended to home-process 2 rolls of Eastman 5222 B&W today, and a 120 roll of HP5+.
In a travesty of issues, I abandoned trying to load the 2nd reel of 5222 in my changing bag, after about 4 goes at loading the first reel, reel collapses, etc,etc. I haven't done home processing for well over a year.
I developed the first roll in Perceptol, having mixed powdered chems for the first time. All went fine until I opened the tank, to find the reel halves had separated 😣
From 35 frames, I may have 9 that are usable, the rest of the roll having clung together and prevented proper processing. As a final ignominy, I was unable to shake dry the reel, so despite wetting agent I have horrible water streaks.
Here's an iPhone shot of the disaster (shot on my 1956 M3).

Agh, that is a shame about the processing. I hope these weren't images of too much sentimental value? I used to enjoy home processing and printing, but at the same time, I haven't returned to it...
Having good reels to load the film into used to be helpful for me, but also just time and practice to get the whole procedure nailed down. Then you can start experimenting more with shooting and processing styles. Perhaps worth just firing off some random frames for the sake of re-familiarising yourself with the processing.

Yes loading reels takes a bit of practice. I always preferred metal reels and metal tanks. When loading I always run my index finger VERY gently over the emulsion back while rolling on to make sure I don't get any dings and to see if its loading on evenly and correctly. If a ding or crinkle does happen I can back it us immediately.

+1 for metal reels and tank. Never could make the plastic ones work for me. Anyway I now send my film to a pro lab and let them worry about getting it done correctly

Thanks Ricardo,
In fact most of the roll was from a work (wife) / pleasure (me) trip to Western Australia and I had been enjoying taking scenes of Perth, together with trying out my first 2 rolls of Eastman 5222 movie B&W film 😞.
Formerly I've used these same Paterson plastic reels without too much trouble, but looks like I need to try metal ones as Allen and Edward comment after you - thanks to all three of you.

I don't have the lens myself but I just wanted to mention that Sean Reid thinks favourable of this lens even though there are some color distortions it performs well on digital FF.

H, Edward and David, I appreciate your kind comments. I was trying to compose an image but my son was just keep jump back and forth. Everything should be in focus but my shutter speed won't freeze his jump which I think even better to add a little fun and dynamic/timing into picture. I prefer it better than traditional landscape image I didn't show here
Here are two 50lux ASPH stitched image. so I display here larger:
I also shoot a few single frame. Single image would be just fine as well, but seems I always pick stitch to show here. I seems have tendency to show more what I see than the one I selectively composed.
But one thing for sure, shooting image like this is a blast with Leica so easy and predictable and file quality is extremely good. 50 summilux seems getting forget now days which can be pick up less $2500. A crime I would say. This is still the best 50 lens consider how it perform with portrait and landscape on Leica in my opinion, bar none.

I have the CV 28/3.5 and it works nicely on my M10 and MM. There was a bit of color in the edges on the M240. Here's a shot, not particularly inspiring, but it gives an idea of the performance. The lens is coded as a Leica 28/2.8, but I've applied the CV28/3.5 profile from Lightroom. You need to reduce the vignetting correction to 0 to get this result.

Yep I have used one on the previous Monochrom I had and on my M240 it worked well (it doesn't protrude too far into the camera) and I thought it was a great and VERY small lens. Along with the Voigtlander 50 f/2.5 as a pair you'd have some of the most compact options out there!
