From a few weeks back, course you wouldn't know with the latest dumping of snow around here.

Abram and Adam,
Thanks for the replies. I have decided to go for the 28 Summilux - reasons being:
1) 28mm is as wide as I'll go on the M, so the 21 and 24luxes are out. I still find the thin DoF, wide angle look quite novel and the 28lux is one of the few options I have
2) There are other smaller lenses out there. I'd rather travel with a 35Cron than a 28 Elmarit (speed is a plus), and like the 35mm UC-Hexanon too. I can always pick up a 28 Elmarit again later on.
3) I could comfortably travel with the 28lux but not the 28 Elmarit - which sounds contradictory because the elmarit is way smaller. This is largely due to the speed the lux gives, which helps with portraits and low light. If I had the M10, maybe the low light aspect would be a non-issue. The 1.4 still gives it an edge for portraits (not that 28mm is great for portraits, but certainly adds some versatility).
4) I don't intend to buy a second body, and would rather a lens than upgrade to the M10 from the M240. I'm very happy with the M240 and it's brassing nicely. I don't do paid shoots to afford another M, let alone an M10, and have always been of the view my 2nd camera will be a camera with EVF and likely an A7 or A7s. The lower cost of the 2nd body would also hurt less given it won't be used much. No second body means no 75lux. Win win...for now. I would also certainly appreciate the option of shooting the Noct on days I feel like doing so, or fool around with the Nikon 50mm. A second body (Sony/SL) isn't really going to get me out shooting unlike the other glass.
I like the idea of a Q, 50lux/50APO and 75lux combo. 2 bodies, travel with the Q. Or the 28 Elmarit, 50lux, 35FLE combo, travel with the 35FLE. It's simple and clean. But I know I'll miss the Noct.

Abram, Awesome film shot of the cacti!
I'm really still a major GAS-afflicted person and so I recently bought a Canon F-1 body (original model).
I previously had a T-90 and loved using that, so I have FD/FL 20, 24, TS35, 50 f/1.4 SSC and the 80-200 f/4 L lenses. I'm looking forward to shooting with this set up. For now, here's a photo of the old girl. I have another 50 f/1.4 SSC that was converted to Canon EF and it proved to be one of the very best 50 lenses I have.
At the end of the day I get great satisfaction from the tools as much as shooting with them.

Thank you sir! I was impressed with the detail too for such an “old” lens 
I used an Orange filter for that one.

Thanks guys! This is actually a building under construction and this was the painted facade in front. I had a good chat with him after to find out what was being built...

Two oldies from me, when I was revelling ( I still do 😀 ) in rangefinder photography.
Both from 8 January 2013, in Ireland.

I bit of a hit and miss affair today with a still-life tableau, with a masculine flavour.
I should have used a table-top tripod for each shot instead of only two of these four (3 and 4).
The CCD sensor on the M8 shows its limitations in the backlit shots.
WB, highlight/shadow control, clarity and saturation are pretty much duplicated in the PP for the M240 and M8.2, even though these similar compositions are using different Voigtlander lenses.

Have to agree with AbramG on this one. Really very nicely composed. Deserves to be on display.
