Tobin, the cron is awesome. other than creamy bokeh, there is absolutely no reason to invest in more expensive lux.
I agree, the 35Cron is a stellar all purpose lens that works most of the time but the 35Lux is not only for creamy bokeh alone. The additional stop of light could be important for some of us for low light work especially if some of us (I) still shoot film M.. Guess there is always a price to pay for speed

Try John Milich in the NY region, his prices are very reasonable. Else DAG does a good job for somewhere in the mid$100s last I recall. Leica NJ does them too but is more expensive than John or DAG. Else, you can try to dremel it on your own as Luka has done it on one of his lens.

Bought a screw mount Summicron 50mm (in chrome) recently. Some pics from this lovely lens from my hometown, Ipoh.

Beautiful set KL! The last shot of the Highway is fantastic, love it. You had to rub it in with the Char Kuay Teow huh?

Thanks Joe! No rubbing it in intended! It was purely a personal desire to share my favourite dish with the forummers here... haha. I added some more food pics to the list above.

Tobin - some great shots on the last page. The 35 Cron ASPH is indeed an amazing lens
Phil - great shots, love the rendering. The color is my favorite of the first set on this page and the portrait is very nice. Which lens? That is a great look!
KL - great set, especially like the portraits. The 50 Cron rendering is wonderful.
I was out of town over the weekend and didn't get much time to shoot. I did get in the mail a new toy, though. A 90 f/2.8 Elmarit-M. What a beautiful lens. It looks brand new and is so damn small...I love it. Not to mention, I love the rendering from the few shots I took. The sharpness wide open is astonishing. Only problem is that it is 6 bit coded so now I need to buy a filter.
All shots wide open:

Thanks Ryan
Wow Ryan those are some nice flora shots! amazing clarity and detail. But I love the bokeh test the best, especially the subject, it is beer right? 
The 2nd pink rose for me
I used 50 1.0 Noct version 2 for the portrait
Thanks

rsolti13 - nice shots with the elmarit 90. Whenever you get a chance, could you do a bokeh test with some lights in the background? I've been debating between that lens, the Cron 90 (pre-ASPH/APO), and the APO 90 Cron.
Thanks!
Thanks!

More gorgeous shots all around, as usual! I regret that I don't have time to really take a good look through the recent posts, but suffice it to say that I'm inspired to make time to shoot more portraits while away now. Anyway, here are some of my first on the water shots from the past few days in Virgin Gorda with the 18/3.8. I was a bit reluctant to take the camera out into the spray while on the motor boat, but perhaps if I have a dry platform this week.

Ryan, congratulations on the 90 Elmarit! What a great lens. Small, light and very sharp. Very nice shots!
Ty, you have a difficult choice between the 3 90's Everyone of them is an outstanding lens in there own right. Depends if you prefer landscapes or portraits. For portraits, I prefer the 90 Cron APO, 90 Cron V3 and then the 90 Elmarit. For landscapes/streetscapes, all of the lenses are brilliant, and unique in this own way. The 90 Elmarit and 90 Cron V3, you are less likely to have focusing and calibration issues. I suspect this has to do with the design of the lenses.
Cory, excellent shots!!! Nice change of subjects!
Max, nice shots! I really like the rendering in #2 and 5.
