Some re-scanned negs from 2016...I'm still enjoying the new level of scanning performance I'm getting from my recently acquired Nikon Coolscan V ED (LS-50) scanner.
FP4+ film, lens possibly VM35 f/1.2 Nokton Mk I. Camera in these two is a Konica Hexar RF

I can get to the gallery on their website, but don't see a link to your book Allen, despite Tamarkin saying something tp that effect.

I think you have to actually call to get one. I can also sign it if you call and let them know who to sign it to.
Thanks so much....

Long time no posts here. Thanks for all those Great images shared from all familiar name and new comers.
I still use my M240P along with a set of M lenses. Maybe sometime next year, I will get a M10. M240 is still a fine camera. I added 35mm f1.7 and 40mm f1.2 Voigtlander lenses in my collection. 40mm is an impulse buy for f1.2. However, I think I am going to let it go later as it can’t replace my 50mm Summilux. It is a very popular lens as many people love it. I do too AT Certain Condition; I guess this is very personal, too personal to even put word to describe that. For 35mm, I feel it is as good as it can get, I don’t have much complain about it and I don’t feel I fall deep love for the lens either, at minimum it is sharp with smooth bokeh. I am not a fan of its color performance. It gives a little cyan/purple tint to the images due to coating blend with CA sometimes, not a big deal.
I also added a 75mm Summilux recently; I know sooner or later I have to get it. This is the last missing piece for my M setup. I like it very much, not unexpected given I am also a fan of R 80lux. They are indeed similar. Both lenses require some knowledge to use it better as they are picky about light condition. 75mm might be slightly sharper at f1.4 than 80lux with a little bit less SA, the difference is very minor though. Stop down, I feel 80lux is the better lens cross frame, but both are adequate for landscape use and I am sure you are not pay premium for that which you can get from any f1.8 mid-tele lens from other manufactures.
To my surprise, I don’t have difficult to nail focus with it but I don’t count pixel for my family images. (I think I got better keeper rate than 90APO which itself is not bad) After extensive use, the conclusion I have for Leica M system, you really don’t need a short tele lens sharper than those like 75mm f1.4 or 90mm f2. Rangefinder has its mechanical limit to nail absolutely focus. The same can be applied to 50lux ASPH. In that sense, I don’t even need an M system more than 24M for most day to day rangefinder use. For landscape, a 36M and above M might be an attraction, as we can either use LV or stop down shooting. For portrait? I fail to see the point to spend 12000 for 75mm Noct, not even a fan of its bokeh anyway.
Some images since this is the image thread, all family but that is all I am shooting these days WITH M.

great shots michael, glad hear you finally picked up a 75 lux. i agree with you about the cv 40, 35, and 50 lux asph. the cv 35 is pretty excellent in all categories, but boring to me. the 40/1.2 is fantastic, but not up to the level of the lux asph...
a shot with the 75 lux:
and with the jupiter-3 (i was shocked to discover that my copy seems to be perfectly coupled):

Sebboh/Derek,
I'm really glad that you bought an M10, because it means that you will now be participating in the Leica images thread.
