First time out with the M10, lens is .95 Noctilux. First impression of this camera is very good.
Congrats Joakim, enjoy your M10!

Joe, For these two, if I have to pick one, I will pick cron actually. I had Summarit, it is one of best short tele ever made I think, very sharp and consistent. It is slightly better/sharper at close distance than even 90cron APO and a wash at infinity at f2.4 compare to 90APO at f2. So I don't expect 75cron can beat cron in term of optics.
However, at the same time, I feel 75cron have some magic rendering I find only a few modern Leica lens have. (50lux ASPH is another) Summarit definitely don't have it. From samples, I feel 75cron has better rendering than my 90cron APO for sure. However, being a FLE design, it is quite fussy like 50lux. I'd be very careful about 2nd hand copy that I will only buy it from Leica Store that I can demo it at all distance.
Yes, I like the 75Cron's rendering too. I am looking at buying used, even then, Summarit is much cheaper. With the added high ISO on the M10, I should be able to get away with f/2.4 instead of f/2, which made me consider the Summarit instead of Cron.

Enjoying everyone's film posts, don't some of you miss shooting at very high ISOs?

Joe, 75 Summarit is a nice choice. Its 2nd hand price is a steal. I really like that lens. the problem with 75 for me is between 75 and 90, 90cron seems make more sense for me for pair with 50lux though I am pretty sure I prefer 75cron rendering to both 90cron and 75 summarit.
Ron, very nicely processed set. 90ME is a real keeper.
Michael, very nice shots, especially like the second one! I think the difference between you and I is that 28/35 is my main lens and the 75 pairs well with 28/75 as a two lens kit. I might add a 21 to make it 21/28/75. I agree, with 50/75 it might be too close and 50/90 seems better.

Second pic, all highlights lost. I find the M10 highlight recovery almost as bad as Monochrom, even at base ISO, I find it difficult to recover more than 1-1.5 stops of highlights. It does have lots of shadow detail though.

Edward, your film work is just excellent! No offense meant, but I don't remember your digital images to be as good. You seem to just click with film!
Thank you Huss! No offense taken! In the contrary, I actually agree with you

Hahaha I don't actually agree.
I think BKK as a city and the film look complement each other. But your photographs have been consistently good throughout. Take yourself out of BKK and you might find that you like the colours of say an M10
(Just trying to pay you back, since you have me wanting a film M again.)

Hahaha, thank you Adam To be honest I really like the color coming out of the M10. It looks so Portra A film M is relatively inexpensive and can be resold without any loss, so why not give it another shot?
