Jonathan, great to see you using the fabulous VM Nokton 50 f/1.5 LTM. I also own and love this lens.

Took this before landing in Paris with M9 and Summicron-M 50-APO.
A great shot indeed! I'm a 1950s and 1960s French movie buff so my view of Paris has been formed by shots of characters in apartments, bars, and cafes or driving around with occasional glimpses of landmarks. It's instructive to see the city laid out so those landmarks can be seen in relationship to one another. Thank you!

It's highly underrated and one of my favourites too. The cognoscenti insist that the M-mount version has better coatings but that knurled focusing ring ensured I've never been tempted to "upgrade". However, the 50/1.5 LTM might soon have some competition. I'm on the waiting list for a copy of the Nokton VM 50/1.2 and Cosina have scheduled a production run in February, according to the local distributor.

@lenticular11, thank you very much.
@genji, thank you. I really enjoy spending time in Paris. Here is another one that I took a while back.

ocean2509's aerial shot of Paris and a wish to re-visit some of my earliest days with a Leica rangefinder (my first of that type), have led to re-processing some. Part of this exercise is also to revisit my M9 shots since I continue to struggle with the temptation to buy another one of those (despite having too many cameras already).
These are all taken on a late December flight from Belfast to Valletta.
In this first one, there is a very old castle that is so redolent of Irish history and the issues caused by migration and conquest. The castle is in the scene, about the length of the static discharge antenna to the left of the antenna itself, at the top of the main street of the village of Killyleagh. (if any further interest, see: )

Unfocused, but anyway I like the feel of this image.

And finally (really pushing the exposure envelope here at 1/16s, f2 and ISO320!)

I focus in the center and recompose most of the time. If I know that the depth of field is so small that it would be a problem, I recompose by moving my upper body instead of simply rotating my head.
Can you elaborate on this?
Do you bend / squat, focus and get up to recompose?

I checked and what I do is to move slightly my legs, mainly my knees so that my entire upper body shifts to right or left, even up or down but whilst staying in the same plan instead of using the "natural" way to recompose which is to rotate it around my belt.
Sorry if I'm not very clear but english is not my primary language.

Actually, this is very clear (and very helpful). I assume that focusing and recomposing vertically would require a squatting motion rather than tilting the head up or down.

No, it's very clear! I do the same, I was just curious about what other people do to recompose.
