Wonderful work with this lens. Although I suspect it's mainly the huge talent of the photographer that creates the emotion of these images, with some contribution of the properties of this lens.

Hi, Mitch, Thank you for your kind comments. Actually, that day I took images with this and new 28cron and 50APO cron, however, my favorite are from 35lux pre-ASPH. The classic rendering and right amount of SA is just works in this situation. I don't find I use it a lot given I have so many gears around, however, each time I pull this lens out, it give me some memorable shots to remind me how lovely it is.
I would definitely get m3 version, not for using on m3 but mainly for 0.7M focus distance. A very important feature for 35mm lens, especially for family images (at least for me who don't shoot street closely enough) that I can shoot it in close distance. of course, you might find 50mm frame line also interesting and preferred to see out of frame, I do.
Mine is special edition V2 that all black with brass I bought from Japan, it was expensive. It delivered way out of rangefinder focus alignment. I send it off to DAG. He took care of both bug eyes and rangefinder alignment and both need adjust for this lens. Two years later, it manage to drift back focus again and I have to send it to DAG again, he did it for free this time even it is out of warranty. (I just can't rate him higher, a real gentlemen) He told me, it is a difficult lens to adjust.
As for spec, the EXIF should be there. The first one is at ISO2000 but I think I under exposure it at least two stop. The next one is ISO6400. I didn't try to bring back the exposure but keep original scene. A personal preference.
one more, same lens.

Genji, congratulation for m9m, hi, should you wait for m10m
That one will be killer.
Michael, I agree, the M10M will be killer. The budget appropriation process has already been completed; now I’m waiting for the release announcement. In the mean time, I’m really enjoying the M9M.

Hi all, I just stumbled across something very interesting today over at RFF: a project out of China producing a replica of the 35 Cron v1 (8 element) for $500 US. This appears to be a very near match in build quality and optics, producing extremely similar rendering characteristics based on the available sample images.
I'm posting it here in case anyone might be interested. I have also started a dedicated thread here in the Alt forum.
The RFF discussion is here.
I put myself down for one in black paint and original single coating. The Cron v1 has long been on my wish list, but the price has discouraged its purchase as a secondary 'character' lens...

CL+ Voigtlander 75 f1.5 Nokton
I must say that the Nokton 75 is absolutely spectacular on the CL--very sharp with lovely glow wide open. I expect that it would be just as good on a FF body.

I just watched Antonioni's 1970 movie Zabriskie Point, much of which was shot in Death Valley. It brought back fond memories of driving through Death Valley on a trip from San Francisco to Las Vegas in 1987. I hope you have some more images to post...

I really enjoy driving through the park and am planning to go back again next year to spend more time there. Here is one more taken with Leica M9 with WATE lens.

My daughter's first time really enjoying snow. At this age, she isn't really interested in the camera and it's hard to catch her smile, but she's still cute.
