Wow, this thread has come alive again. So good to see so many fantastic images.

I promised to drop in. Here are a few 50mm Summilux and M240 images from Italy, a while ago.

My son's world

















Absolutely the best 50mm Lens out there. I love it so much and look forward use it on Z7 as well in the future.

I don't have many M mount lenses but the Lux is my favourite M Mount lens. If I could only keep 1 lens in M Mount that would be the one.

I enjoyed taking some photos yesterday, even though it was under dull and heavy grey skies.

A confession:

I recently sold my M240 after a slow realisation that it just never gave me the satisfaction of my M9 that I sold to fund the M.

I needed to decide if I would seek another sensor-replaced M9 and if so, I would ned to sell the M8.2 I had bought to assuage my CCD sensor loss.

The market here in Australia is relatively tiny; this makes selling former purchases pretty challenging. Unlike a few glorious years back our AUD is now worth about USD 0.71, so buying from the USA is now very expensive and our federal government has now introduced 10% on all imports (previously only over AUD1000 ).

Anyway, my confession (it's hard to confess it here)!

I have a second hand Sony A7R III on the way, even though I know it's complete anathema to the whole RF experience.

My intention is to enjoy lots of the various alt lenses I've accumulated in the last 6-7 years since first becoming aware of the alt lens community.

Amongst those lenses will be a whole swag of LTM and Leica M lenses. I also have to acknowledge sebboh's great thread showing Contax G lens conversions to Leica M. I can now finish two of those conversions without concerning myself with RF-coupling.

I also ordered the Techart Pro AF adapter, so when I want AF I can have some no-doubt compromised functionality.

I've enjoyed owning a Pentax K-1 over the last two years, enjoying its unique blend of user interface, Sony sensor IQ, astro-tracing mode, GPS and pixel-shift; however like 30 years ago, I dislike the paucity of 3rd party lenses and the high price of PK-badged lenses. The K-1 will now be sold.

I look to the A7R III as a camera that will enable me to shoot motorcycle sport better than with the K-1, however I look forward most of all to doing more astrophotography and enjoying all the great alt lenses.

I'm keeping my M8.2, M3 and Hexar RF, so using RF lenses will be both in their native environment and through the Sony dark side. I'm under no delusions that I shall probably hate the Sony user interface once more! I owned the original A7R a few years ago.

If you've read all of this ramble I salute you!
My friends, this is probably the only thread on FM in which I could feel confortable to write such a long post.

Hi David,
you won't regret the A7MKIII, as you know i use it as well.
I think pragmatic and use the cams as tools..
I like my Leica's , 3x CCD + film !

But the final product, most of the time a print, is by no way dependant on Leica or Sony or any other brand.

I post my work here and at the Sony forum just because i started with these 2 gear and brand orientated threads, i think sometimes i would better post in a content orientated forum... but i am too lazy to look for a good one and i like the people posting here.
Looking foreward to see posts of your great work at the Sony forum.

Cheers
Werner

With a TechArt adapter, you can use your Leica M (or R) lenses on A7/Riii, with good autofocus and even eye-tracking. Now I use my Summilux 75mm almost exclusively with the Sony.

Werner there is no laziness, the folks here in this thread love seeing your pictures. This is where they belong in a spot where the masses come forth to view. If you had them in a content oriented forum less of us would see the shots as less people venture to the content oriented forum, so don't give it a second thought and continue to be with the people and share with the many.

I enjoy seeing what you and the others post here, another way of learning what others shoot, how they shoot and what lenses used with their RFs.

Thank you Werner for your kind words and ocean2059 for your experience with the A7/R III TechArt Pro AF performance.

I'm really looking forward to the 'use any lens on FF' capability of the A7, without the shutter-shock of the original A7R.

Same as you, the more I use Leica glass, the more I appreciate its handling and rendering. 50mm lux is also my favorite M glass.

Hi, David, Choose whatever gear make you love to pick it up. A7RIII is one of best MILC cameras, you will have fun.

Too bad, you didn't snap a M9

If you get the M9 CCD itch at some point and funds allow, let me know. My high-mileage M9 with the latest/final replacement sensor version has been sitting idle since it returned from Leica at around the cutoff point for the free replacement service. CAD seems to pretty much mirror AUD relative to USD. That's unfortunate about the additional 10% import tax.

In some respects there is reluctance to sell the M9 for various illogical reasons, but it and the M240 could theoretically go towards a good used M10... Or do I wait for the M11? Seems we're over the M10 lifecycle tipping point now that the P is out and the D will be soon. All that's missing is the Monochrom, then Leica can release the M11.
