I have been using the WATE @ 21 for my coding mostly
I need to experiment more but I think it performs (at 21mm) noticeably better on the M10M than the SL2 with regard to sharpness especially in corners. This would not be entirely unexpected.
Also possible I was freezing at the beach and hand holding at too slow a shutter speed with the SL2, so TBD..!

Very sharp at 35mm!
Thanks. The Konica Hexanon Dual 21-35 is an excellent lens, especially for travel. I used mine with M240 without 6-bit coding with no problems. But I have not tried it on SL body yet,

A few more with the M10-P & 50/2 Summicron V1 (Collapsible)
I really like the look you’re getting with the Collapsible Summicron (that I also like the content and framing goes without saying). Do you mind if I ask what aperture(s) you used in those images?

Thanks for the compliment, I appreciate it. The first was f/8, the second was wide open. I believe the last was f/5.6, but it might have been f/8.

Greatest compliment I can give is it makes me want to dust mine off and use it on my digital M. Before I just considered it a film lens for some reason.
This is why Leica lenses - all of them - are so good. You can mix n match a lens and body from almost any era and get superb results.

You're right, I believe using a lens made in 1955 on a contemporary digital camera, without modification or adaptation is unique to Leica! Looking forward to seeing the shots with yours, I'm sure they'll be fab
