I haven't talked much about gear in Leica thread but must say SL2 is my favorite MILC ever. It definitely has flaws but simple menu and ergo with superb M support and Panasonic video and IBIS tech make it most enjoyable MILC camera I ever touched. I sold Z7&S1 and only keep a few Z S prime for now as I know it is/will be a very practical camera if I need AF and I know how capable Nikon is.

I like these "straggly plant" images a lot, Mitch. BTW the Paolo Nozolino book arrived yesterday and it's superb, as expected. Also, I have an opportunity to purchase a DR Summicron 50—can you suggest anything I should look for or be aware of?

genji - Thanks for the kind words. On the DR Summicron: apart form checking the obvious mechanical things, you can easily check for haze by shining an iPhone light through it. Also, unscrew the front element and check that the hand-engraved number on the back of it matches the lens number on the front. BTW, this front element can be used on the old mechanical Visoflexes. Then check that the lens focusses to infinity without the cam hitting something in the camera. For the M10, I can send you a picture on what needs to be slightly filed down in the lens — I used a sharp chisel. Also, check that, with the goggles, the rangefinder image is lined up both at the near and far close-up range. Apparently, this can be adjusted on the goggles, but I don't know how. Does this lens have the nice, little leather case for the goggles?
Very difficult to get twenty images together, like Nozolino's book, that make sense; that represent and express reality. I feel it's worthwhile to think about why one photographs. In an interview, which I can't find right now, Nozolino said, But you can't photograph a moment of happiness.. Here's an excerpt from another interview, translated from Portuguese:
Question: Can we then say that the intensity, the shock and the black, which
so intensely characterize your work, are not a rhetoric or an
aesthetic, but a necessity?
Nozolino: That's what I think is worth showing. It is the materialization of what I see,
feel and experience every day. The pictures are the equivalent of this. I don't
see any interest in a picture of a couple kissing under a palm tree on a
tropical beach. That's a false happiness. The dark images are reality.

Any chance you have the opportunity to take this same composition with both the M10M and the M246 to compare?

I was testing and comparing the viewfinders with my 50 Lux both with OVF and EVF. The shot above was when the sun was out. The shots below SOOC I took was when it was overcast with a chilly ice cold wind blowing and I wasn't overly concerned with composition or critical focus. No means scientific or properly setup for testing all were just handheld.
MM1 - ISO 320, 1/2000s Lux 50 f5.6
M246 - ISO 320, 1/2000s Lux 50 f5.6
M10M - ISO160, 1/1500s Lux 50 F5.6
