I hope not so, Abram 
As many i know that gear overflow syndrome as well (the work overflow not to forget).
But i will always come back to my Leica's.... and when i do i feel instantly that i was missing them.
I hope that this forum will get more lively soon...
Cheers

I will say though that this thread alone is the reason I still visit this forum at all. There's a great micro-community right here in this one thread and I for one would be very sorry if it dissipated. So wherever you all are, come back! Post more! Let's talk!

I still look in all the time but my professional life has been taking all of my time the past few months. I do post whenever I get time to get out for me and work. Things will probably slow down a bit so I hope to get out and get some new work to share. In the mean time keep'm come'n. Love the work and the folks in this thread.

Yay, let's keep posting. It's wonderful to have you post again René (xwing). Also you too back aftar a long time Charlie (unoh7)
I need to shoot more with my film Leica M3. I don't think I'm going to sink $ into another M9 (even though I miss it) and having sold the M240, the M8 is my only digital Leica.
This one is from the NASA / Aus Govt Tidbinbilla Deep Space Tracking Station near Canberra. Back in the Apollo era it was one of several facilities in the area. This site transmitted the first TV images from Apollo 11's landing on the moon. The big dish was doing some calibration checks on the morning we visited last week, enabling a good view of the details of its receiver.
Contax G21 f/2.8 on M8, aperture probably f5.6

It's true! This thread used to be very lively. I suspect there's been a number of folks that have moved on to other systems since there is a plethora of options these days. I know I hadn't had much time to get out and shoot in the past year as my job was a M-F 9-5 kind of situation instead of working freelance, but as of this weekend I'm back to being freelance while I look for a new role.
So at least in my case, that means I'll have some more time to shoot!
I haven't moved on from Leica, but my M240's shutter blew back in early September near the tail end of a few days in NYC, so drove it to Leica in person, along with the mis-focusing 50 Lux ASPH and 28 Lux with loose focusing ring. That's pretty much my core Leica gear out of commission for who knows how long. A few days ago I got a re-estimate from them indicating they can't clean the sensor glass and the entire sensor needs to be replaced. The frustrating thing is I could live with that specific sensor spot (something welded itself onto the glass about 6 months ago), but Leica won't separate that aspect from the shutter replacement. It's all or nothing. I asked for a reasonable trade towards an M10, but they won't.
Last weekend I had a day in Pittsburgh after shooting the Steelers-Ravens game (with Canon gear) and it just didn't feel right wandering around town with a 1DXII and a couple zooms when normally I'd use the Leica. Just so friggin huge.
I've got a ton of back catalog work I need to dig through and could use as posting material. Just have been busy with other stuff. And I felt like the mountain of unprocessed images was looming over me and needed to step away for a little while. Also too much time spent online when other things could instead be done. Lastly, it feels like the essence of the Alt board has been pulled in multiple directions, all the worse, IMO, for those of us still here. Seems like participation in general has declined and I have to admit I've lost some interest in the overall forum. I'm not a Sony enthusiast, therefore am not partaking in the festivities over there.
Nice to see Charlie and Rene back.

I completely understand that. Honestly life can just get in the way, the past year especially for me left very little time to actually shoot except for nights and weekends but we’ll see whatever my new schedule will slow for.
I agree the rest of the forum is kind of chaotic but that doesn’t mean this thread can’t be our oasis.

M9 Canon 50/1.2
BTW, this is very interesting lens. The 50/1.4 is far more even out to the edge, but the 1.2 in the center, or my copy anyway, is good at these distances. I'm lucky it has great calibration. The vignette is exagerated becasue I had on the wrong hood, sorry. I'm exicted to see the new CV 50/1.2 in action on M body. It's build is inspired by the Canon, though I think the formula has no relation. Both are 350 grams, the lightest superspeeds, outside the sonnetar. Unless there is something I'm missing...
I've been working quite a bit this summer on computer stuff, and I was majorly distracted by learning A7r2 video to capture my daughter singing, but she is now at college in NYC, and I have all my two-wheeled vehicles serviced for the last blast of fall up here.
Much of my inspriation in photography has come from this thread Thanks to all past and present contributers!
Most of my shooting now is with M9 A7rii and A7 Kolari. All working pretty well with the right glass.

Here's a couple low light shots from Granada. Both from the M10.
First shot was with the 35 FLE and the second was really pushing it with the 50 Summilux at 1/15th exposure at ISO 3200. I still haven't mentally embraced pushing into the 6400+ ISO range yet, I think I'm still stuck at 3200 as that was the peak with my M240. Despite that, the shot is "sharp enough" for how slow it was but there's definitely some motion blur if you zoom in.

Very nice shots! I must take my CV 50 1.2 out with the M9 - only tried it with the M10 (I think.)
The Canon seems to have some of the older Leica glow, if I am not wrong. The CV is very sharp at 1.2. Amazingly so.

I like the way that lens renders on the Monochrom! I do admit that I miss mine, mostly for how it looked at f/2.8 but I’ve bought and sold and tried so many lenses at this point it’s hard to keep up!
I’m eager to see what the next-gen Monochrom will be capable of, that’s something that will be of great interest to me.
