This is the same jewelry stand in a Chiang Mai market that I photographed two years earlier using the Summaron 28 (second image above). As these two image were taken in difficult, mixed light previously I processed them only in B&W. Now, I've processed the color versions using the new Cobalt-Image profiles that are discussed in Fred Miranda's thread on Cobalt.

Here are some shots from an evening walk around my father's farm. He passed away recently so these may be my last pictures from the place. Some of my first shots with my new to me M10. The 35mm is actually mislabeled. It is the Voigtlander 35 f/1.7.
Condolences Steve. They may be the last pictures, though the memories and the pictures will keep him with you until the day you are reunited. Enjoy the camera.

My condolences Steve. The lovely shots from the property with the new cam makes for a nice momento.
Like my images p.385 #16 and #18, here are two more images that I've reprocessed using the new Cobalt-Image profiles that are discussed in Fred Miranda's thread on the Cobalt profiles.
I took the second image below with the intent of B&W because of the high-contrast back light and, therefore, never thought much of the color version. It was shot at noon in blinding light, and was underexposed by two stops to preserve the highlights: I'm interested in how this type of light "bleeds".
EDIT 10-Jun-2021:
I corrected the second image (Chiang Mai) by darkening the ¾-tones a bit, which gives more of the result that I want. EDIT 14-Jun-2021:
After reading the comment by @airfrogusmc on the skin tones of the 1st image below, I replaced it with a corrected version. (I looked at the history of the precious version in LR: it seems, in trying to do something else, I clicked on the wrong selection on which I had reduced the contrast — that changed the color of the face.)
Another image that I've reprocessed using the new Cobalt-Image profiles that I've just bought. These profiles are as good as making custom profiles, and more accurate than either the Adobe Standard or M10 embedded particularly when it comes to yellow and red in the same image. For example, if you get the yellow right using the Adobe or M10 profiles the red on the sign at the top of the building will be way off, whereas as with the Cobalt-Image profiles it's spot-on.

So, after owning two m10's over the last couple years and selling them, I purchased an m240. I have to say, I feel more comfortable shooting this body over the m10. Something about it costing 1/2 of what my m10's cost. I'm not so "worried" I'm gonna ding my 6K investment.
Now for the interesting part. I actually like shooting the m240 better than the m10, it's cheaper, the IQ looks exactly the same to me and for some reason, it feels like I can focus the RF better with my old eyes. Doesn't make sense to me but it's true. I don't really notice the extra size like I thought I would either.
Anyways...I'm excited to be shooting an m body again
