Great Q2 shots, congrats! I am still going film only with my Leica cameras - therefore it takes some time to develop myself the shot film, scan the negatives etc. I just came back from vacation and developed the first roll with Ilford HP5+ 400 in Xtol (1:1) this morning. All taken with my Leica IIIc.

Excellent shots! I tried the film route a few years ago with a medium format hasslblad. I could't deal with the waiting for developing and scanning. Fortunately the equipment was relatively cheap and easily sold for the same amount invested.
My forever Q2 arrives tomorrow. I sent the rental back on Friday and going through withdrawals ever since . . .

Just got the 7Artisans 50mm f/1.1 at a great price from B&H. It isn't great wide open—not very sharp and a bit hazy—but I could see using it for more artsy stuff with a less polished look. It reminds me of something like a mist filter they use for movies. This was shot at f/1.4 where it gets a bit better, especially when it comes to that haze.
Next, I need to find a 35mm that's significantly faster than my CV 35mm f/2.5.
M9 w/7Artisans 50mm at f/1.4

Your last couple of posts in particular have been most impressive. Yesterday my dealer loaned me a rough looking set comprising an M2 and a Summilux 50/1.4 (I), the version that preceded the pre-ASPH Summilux-M 50/1.4. I’ve only shot half a roll so far but, unlike the R8 that I’ve been shooting some film with, I immediately clicked with the M2, which feels exactly the same but totally different to my digital M cameras. (A nonsensical statement, I know, but I can’t think of a better way to put it.)

Thanks for the kind comment and feedback - I find more and more that some vintage lenses are gems both on film and on digital. I stopped believing copied&pasted negative reviews like in case of this 50/1.5 Summarit lens that the lens isn't sharp wide open, impossible to focus with a rangefinder camera etc etc - all made-up hype to lure people into buying much more expensive newer lens versions with sterile character. I was able to focus this lens at f/1.5 track sharp on the spot with a Leica IIIc - what else do you need I ask?! This lens has a beautiful metal body and is well made - not super crisp in the center wide open but sufficient for a wide open image. And the bokeh is unmatched by any other lens I own. Just my 2 Cents - even if I decide at some point (?) to go with a digital Leica M in addition to my film Leica M cameras, I will use it with vintage and not latest model based M lenses.

After renting a Q2 and thoroughly enjoying the experience, I received my own lightly used (and pristine) copy. Here are some of the first images with it.
