Q2 Monochrom
I've only had the camera for a little over a week. This is really my first experience with pure B&W capture, except for a few outings with film back in the day. So far, I have just been experimenting around the house and having great fun. The camera exceeds my expectations. This photo is part of the experimentation process. Taken with a light yellow filter and toned in Capture One.

The Wtulens & Tri-X seem like a great match. I managed to find one that will ship to Canada, so one is on it's way. Thanks for the inspiration!

Q2M with B+W Dark Red 091M filter. Processed in Capture One with Mastin Labs' Tri-X 400 film sim, but I removed the simulated film grain. Leica's built-in crop was removed, which gives a little more image on top, but quite a bit more on the sides (9075 x 5732px ~52.6mp). Second image is 1:1 detail at 2048px wide.

I posted the following images on another forum, in a discussion of "one camera one lens, to show the versatility of 21mm lenses.
Mostly I shoot with 28, 35 and 50mm lenses, but I wouldn't limit myself to any of them — I prefer to shoot in "binges" of a month or two with one lens. Even so, I go out with one lens on the camera and another one in the pocket; but rarely actually change the lens that is on the camera. Going through my images, though, I found many shots with the Elmarit-21 ASPH that I like. Whenever I've gone out with this lens I've almost always come back with some images that I like a lot. When this plague is over, I'll have to get the 21 back into my rotation of binges, for I haven't shot with it for a couple or years.

These are very nice, I have seen mixed feedback on artisan lens which is holding me purchasing them vs say voiglander or Zeiss. Any feedback on how artisan compares with Voigtlander or Zeiss ?

Thank you
7artisans lenses (I have the 28:1.4 and the 50:1.1) are quite nice, especially the 28mm. They also balance quite nicely on M bodies. Zeiss lenses (I used the 50 planar) and voigtlander (I have the 35:1.2 since a few days) are quite better sharpness and contrast wise though, no doubt about that. But the 7artisans are a real bang for the buck.
The 50:1.1 is quite soft wide open but from f/2, it is quite good and that's where I try to use it. The same goes for the 28mm that I usually close to 5.6 or 8 for street pictures anyways. I know that there are smaller lenses for that purpose but they are quite a bit more expensive so I really like the 7artisans. And when needed, you can still use them closer to their widest aperture with satisfactory results. If I would have to pick one of the 2, it would definitely be the 28:1.4 which is the one I like the most.
Just a thing to watch though: the lenses don't always align at infinity focus with the rangefinder so check that before purchase. If the lens goes beyond infinity (like my 50:1.1), it isn't really an issue. But it could become one if the lens doesn't reach infinity though.
I hope this helps.
Here are some more pics made with the 2 lenses.

#4/365 : Finally I received the charger so no excuses for not taking photo every day…challenge is to stay motivated and find something to photograph when going out and human to human contacts have practically reduced to zero. Hopefully 2021 will bring world back to normal

I have the 35mm f2, 28 1.4, 50 1.1 x2.
They all focus past infinity using the RF on an M camera, but they also all focus accurately as long as you use the RF (or live view of course). So for me in use it doesn't matter, it's just a little disconcerting as all my other lenses from other mfgs nail infinity at the hard stop, even my Lomo Minitar 32mm 2.8!
It prevents you from using the DOF scale to zone focus, but it is fixable if you want. You use the RF to focus to infinity, then carefully loosen the screws holding the focus ring, rotate it to the hard stop (without changing focus), then tighten. Just disappointing that you are expected to do this yourself.
Interestingly none of the web/blog reviewer$ mention thi$.
But optically I find them excellent. The 35mm f2 is permanently attached to my M4-2 and I do not see any difference on film between it and my Leica 35mm Asph f2. The 50 1.1 are excellent classic Sonnar look lenses, which are dreamy at 1.1 but sharpen up and change character dramatically at f2 and beyond.
The 28 1.4 is just superb. Mine is sharp @ 1.4.
I would not buy these lenses new, all mine were used. Just so if you don't like them just sell them on and you'll lose nothing.
Center 100% crop from 28 1.4 @ 1.4 on M240.
