Have been pretty busy lately and haven't had a chance to shoot much, neither for pay nor for fun But managed to take a quick 4-day trip to Cancun last week, and the only camera we took was our Q, and I think it performed well...

It's tiny and holds just what I need as an everyday carry. How do you like that half-case Allen? I'm contemplating picking one up. I don't usually go for those though but I like that you can cover up the screen.
And to keep the thread going here's a shot from today. I decided to go to the beach for a couple hours and maybe catch the sunset but when I got there it was about 20 degrees colder than my house (which is 6 miles away mind you) and completely socked-in with fog. Kinda bizarre but ultimately my favorite kind of weather!.
M10 + 35 FLE

I’m still kind of working my way out of my creative funk but I’m really liking the colors (and monochrome conversions) from the camera. The handling and haptics are great and it feels like a fully evolved digital M. I think they did a good job with it! I’m liking the 35 FLE too but I’m not totally sold on it yet. Mostly because I’m finding that the improved low light abilities make me question if I even need f/1.4 at all. It is nice for that extra stop when shooting film though admittedly.
---------------------------------------------Good to hear.
Exactly why I opted out for a 35/cron instead of lux... The cron is insanely sharp, even at f/2.0 and the size is the favorite thing I love about it.
I’ve had the 35 Summicron Asph in the past and liked it just fine (I’ve had A LOT of different lenses lol). I presume that if I determine the Summilux isn’t for me then I’d return to the Summicron. However, I don’t want to make any snap decisions, I’m going to give it some time and really see how the lens does for me and how often I actually use f/1.4.
In a post above, I was taken with the colors of the Buddha statue. But continuing to look at this image, I concluded that the the heavy crop below expresses much more that I wanted to say about this statue, without the distraction of the antique shop environment. I also like the B&W version below. I can't say that I prefer the color or the B&W: my preference would depend what I wanted to express in any particular context.
