I would be thrilled to shoot them again that's for sure. But I'm going to be saving up for the Summilux 50 Asph again to buy next year and probably the 21mm Super Elmar the following year or so. Decided to take things slow for a bit though I do have a couple older lenses to play with too. Though as you guys know I mainly shoot film so the old glass plays nice!
Yep, I get to the Laguna area at times.
I am always looking for colorful places to photograph around SoCal.
One of my biggest regrets is selling the 50 Summilux Asph. I now own the standard 50 Summicron which I like a lot but it just doesn't handle low light wide open shooting the way the Lux does. Not many lenses do I suppose. One day I will get another one of those.

Derek, I see what you mean about the 35, but you know, I like the look in some of those, particularly the cat. That said, I also love the look of the 35 Lux pre-ASPH... a lens still on the 'bucket list' of lenses to get, someday. I also like the CV40/1.4 and the Canon LTM 35/2...
I was reading some DSLR vs. mirrorless pointless debates/arguments elsewhere, and it got me thinking about why I still shoot with Leica M even if there are other, cheaper, more fully featured mirrorless options available now compared to 2010 when I tentatively bought a used M9 and ventured into Leica, not quite sure what to expect. Without elaborating, one reason is system size and the quality of the lenses.
So a bling shot that I think summarizes this nicely. Is there any other system that offers this level of lens quality, speed, performance, size, etc? My current set up - a Porter bag (man purse) I found while traveling, that I liked and thought might work. I normally carry in it: M240, 21/3.4, 28/1.4, 35/1.7, 50/1.4, 90/4. Also in the bag: EVF, 2x polarizers, 2x spare batteries, memory cards, etc.
It is a bit of a tight fit and I probably should decide between the 28 and 35. I'm just indecisive and like both. I also use this combo in the Ming Thein 'mirrorless' bag he released last year. It fits better in Thein's bag, but that one is basically a cube/box that isn't so great when I prefer to keep a slim profile in crowded areas. I could cut size further with slower lens at 28, 35 and 50. But find the combination of some slow and some fast lenses meets a lot of my requirements without changing up the combination excessively.
Charles (if you're reading this): yes, that's still the same 50 Lux ASPH.
For reference also one with a Canon 1DXII that I otherwise use for 'work'.

i can definitely understand that – the 50 summilux asph is definitely my favorite 50mm lens. i am also saving up for one.

if you do ever get the lux pre-asph, i recommend getting the one with goggles for the closer mfd – i found 0.9m to be really annoying.
i certainly don't want to get drawn into one of those pointless debates, but i agree that the m system still has the smallest high quality fast lenses. my week with the m10 has just confirmed what i already knew from previous use though, rangefinders are not good for my type of shooting. tracking moving people/animals outside of the center of the frame is just much easier with an evf. i'll be sticking with evf based cameras to use my leica and other brand rangefinder lenses.
