having 35cron, you will always want 35lux from day one
Gaaaah!I've thought/researched/debated on my first lens for a long long time, trust me 
I came to a conclusion to get a 35/cron for a few reasons:
1) I want the most versatile travel focal length
2) it has to be light
3) it has to be small
4) it has to be f/2 because f/1.4 ASPH is heavy and bigger.
5) 50mm is not as versatile as 35mm
However, you are right, my next lens purchase will definitely be a 50 lux ASPH, no doubt.
The noctilux .95 fever is gone now so I'm back to 50/1.4 ASPH search.
I agree with Elijah as his favorite FL is 35mm in the Nikon thread apart from 58mm
I would try the 35 Cron and see if you like the rendering rather than the 35 FLE as there is quite a difference in the look and feel. The other choice is try a 35 Cron Pre but the only issue is focus shift.

Lurker here. Really nice set!
Love the last one and would have really liked to see a close-up portrait of the woman. She's great!

Thank you very much Joe!
That lady really looked cool. Too bad I was too timid to ask for a portrait.

Do not overlook the CV Nokton 50 f/1.5 VM. It is not far behind the Summilux for a fraction of the price. The ergonomics are different, but I got used to them very quickly and now enjoy how the lens handles. IQ is outstanding starting with sharp centers at f/1.5. Mainly, I want to remind you that not every great lens is made by Leica.

You might want try latest 35cron ASPH which having 11 blade instead of 8 to improve bokeh also I heard Field curvature has been reduced as well.
Did Leica change the optical formula? I thought they just added more blades and changed to metal hood?
35mm is my most used focal length, I have not tried the new 35Cron ASPH V2 but have tried a lot of Leica (and other branded 35mm M and LTM) lenses. I find this focal length the "weakest" in Leica's current lineup. Maybe 35Lux ASPH (before FLE) is the best compromise of size, optical performance and bokeh - but one has to find a copy with limited or no focus shift. I regret selling mine. I wish for a Leica 35 Cron ASPH with the size of 35Cron IV, that would be ideal for me.

How you adding board to your image? Do you have some preset to work with individual image dimension?
I try to add a board in print modul but find need tweak for each image and can't use lightroom flickr plug in to upload.
I also use Mogrify with LR and JF plugins. Very easy to use but follow instructions at Mogrify FAQ - download the older version. I think the latest version of Mogrify won't work with LR.

I'm still quite impressed with the Zeiss 35 1.4 so far despite the size. I'm now strongly considering getting the C-Biogon and using just those two lenses on my M-A and M240.
Reason being is that I've become quite taken with the Contax G2 system and I now have a range of focal lengths with that system from 21-90mm.
I agree with what you guys have been saying though about the 35 Summicron ASPH, I really enjoyed mine but I never saw how bad the focus shift was until I had the Monochrom. It became abundantly clear at that point and I let it go. I love the form factor and handling of that lens though and it was my only Leica lens I've owned that didn't exhibit any build quality issues. (Part of the reason I'm using Zeiss now).
The more I use Leica though the more I come to appreciate the single focal length mindset with these cameras. I totally see the value in really just owning one focal length on your leica and letting it become a true extension of yourself.

My impression was Leica tweak the formula for latest 28cron, 28Elmarit and 35cron. I could be wrong that they may only tweak one or two out of them.

I agree with you. For M system, it is all about simplified the system. one or two lens would be ideal. 50 for portrait and 35 for everything else.

Hi, Charles, Nice to see you here. I know you have lot of fun with D850, however, I do think you should pick up a M10 and a few Leica glass you loved join this thread. It is totally different experience and you should love the experience as before. I can hardly imagine a life without M, especially during travel. I decided to leave D850 at home but take Leica and RX1 (again) for a short week trip to China next week.

Infinity focus is off with me 35/1.4 CV - can this be adjusted without screwing up the mechanism that relates to the RF for my Leica 240?
I've only adjusted infinity on SLR lenses before, so wanted to ask before I screw it up...
Also, anyone know how it's done with this lens? I am assuming via the front ring...

Congratulation. You won't feel as limited with 50mm or 75/90 later etc...Early 35mm Leica have MFD 1M, that is totally unacceptable. You should feel pretty good about entering Leica now as M10 is a much more mature product than early digital M.
Have fun and keep posting.
