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.

thanks, Rob. I regret to inform you that i did not buy it, i just rented it for a week to calibrate some lenses. much as i like the camera's ergonomics generally, i really dislike rangefinders for the way i shoot and cannot afford such an expensive camera for the few times when a rangefinder won't bother me.

i did rent the 50 lux asph along with it and directly comparing it to my cv 50/1.5 did finally convince me that the difference there is definitely worth it. so i'll be saving for one of those now...

I had a chance to use a 75 Lux a number of years ago and also found my hit percentage was pretty high. I think it has a fairly long focus throw, which would help. It's still on the wish list, along with the 35 Lux pre-ASPH.

Michael, I ended up holding off on the CV40/1.2 and will wait for their 50/1.2. Difficult to tell much from the limited samples posted from CP+ back a few months ago, other than it might be generally similar to the 40's rendering. The 35/1.7 is kind of boring but I find it stellar for deep focus landscape type shots where lens character isn't really a priority.

A couple variations of what for me is a scene I cannot resist at Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shinto shrine in Kamakura Japan:

I do miss the 35 Summilux Pre-Asph. I think it's just about perfect at f/2.8. I'll likely buy another one in the future! I wish I could use the 50mm Summicron DR on the M10 without having to modify the lens as it can't focus past 10m, but it sure is an enjoyable lens to use on film!

Well, then, I guess we won't be seeing you in this thread. Too bad.

I credit you with stirring my interest in older non-ASPH lenses to use on an SL. As a result, I now own a Summicron-R 35 f2 (v2), Summilux-R 50 f1.4 (E60) and Summilux-R 80 f1.4. I really love the look that these lenses deliver. The R 35 has been a revelation for me. It produces exceedingly rich and deep images, and even though it never gets totally sharp in the corners, I prefer it overall to my razor-sharp ZM 35 f1.4. So thanks for opening my eyes to different photographic possibilities.

I've been wondering, how did the G21 perform regarding magenta colour cast on your loaner M10, particularly on the RHS? Mine is much more problematic on the M240 than it was on the M9.

I believe I have stated this before, probably on the Sony Nex thread, however, like Robgo, two of your images years ago started me on a serial activity buying alt lenses.

The images were of a crow on a ledge, and a fine distant landscape shot of plain and mountains. Before that I had only bought a Leica Elmarit-R 28 (v1). Your images with the Canon FL55 f/1.2 saw me buy that, and I now have maybe 100 alt lenses (or at least that's what my wife seems to think).

Thanks for leading me into temptation / on a path of discovery

ha, thanks! i know the shots you're talking about. tell your wife i'm sorry and my wife can commiserate.

magenta fringing isn't terrible, but stands out on a blue or grey sky. i haven't tried to correct it in any of the shots i've posted previously. here's a really obvious one:
