On the other hand, I have quite often posted images using Leica/other LM fit lenses on an infrared-converted Ricoh GXR APSC camera. I've enquired a couple of times on the acceptability of that and been reassured. 😁

What's the official thread policy on posting stuff shot *with* M lenses, but using other systems?
Asking for a friend...
I was looking at your M6 photos on your Flickr feed. Some really impressive stuff there! I’m constantly on the fence about buying a M6, have been trying my hand at film with a Canon A-1 and a labbox. Really like your film work!
Just picked up a Voigtlander 50 1.2 Nokton M and just shot a dozen or so test images.
All wide open on one of my Leica M 10s (wanted to see if I could focus it). The first 11 are all wide open wit hthe last image at 5.6 IIRC. The lens is very well made and the aperture has great firm 1/2 stop clicks. Focus is smooth and very nice to use. Over all first impressions are very good indeed. Love the kind of vintage lens glow when wide open. It seems to be very sharp and I didn't seem to have any issues with focusing it wide open. It also focuses at 2.3 ft.

Nice work, I enjoy them very much. Thanks for sharing.

congratulation! Allen. I also enjoy your images posted for your new project.
I miss this group. It’s been a while since I have posted anything. I have been shooting on and off this year but I just have had so little time due to my work schedule. Having a long commute has really been wearing me out.
All of that is about to change though. My wife and I are moving next month up to the Bay Area (just outside San Francisco) and I’m going to be looking at new jobs up there so hopefully I will find something with a more flexible schedule. The upside for me though is that there will be a huge amount of new stuff for me to see and explore and you bet I will have my Leica with me to document it all.
I have a number of images that I haven’t done anything with all shot this year but ever since more or less losing flickr access I am needing to find a new image host for sharing.
Anyways, I hope to have things to share soon and be a contributor once again.

We miss you too and look forward to your contributions when you can post again.
One of the few photos I've taken with the closeup goggles of the DR Summicron, this photo is now the most popular one on my Instagram feed. It is also in my book project, which will be presented at Offprint Paris 2019 at the École des Beaux Arts, held concurrently with Paris Photo , 7-10 November 2019.
The book has been a long voyage and recently I've lucked out in getting together in a collaboration with what I call the Hollander Dream Team, comprising the most prize-winning designer of contemporary photo books, a hand bookbinder and a lithographer — as you can read in my LUF thread, Photobook Publishing and its Discontents: http://bit.ly/FrogLeaping
The foregoing link takes you to a post about the collaboration, but you can go to the first post in the thread if you want to read about the whole grueling process on deciding on whether and how to publish a photo book.
Note:I posted a link to this thread a few months ago, which could only be accessed by Leica User Forum members; the current link can be accessed by anyone. Hovever, as usual on the FM Forums, you probably have to copy and paste the link.

Hi all,
I've been on FM for a while, mostly just for buy/sell. But I recently got an M6 from another member here, and I'm interested in learning more about the Leica nuances. Here are a few shots with my Voigtlander 35 f/1.4 and Ektar 100. Looking forward to learning from everyone here....
