Unfortunately I didn't have a telephoto lens to photograph the birds.
I did enjoy feeding them, however

Phil, excellent shots, love the unique rendering with Nocti 
Really like #3.
Joe, very nice shots! There is special quality to the 90 Tele E, that comes out in B&W. Really like the composition of the street shot It is a bit harder to shoot from the hip with 90 though
Lovinglife, very nice shots! Great colours! Very clean for night shots. I really #2
I did notice some dust bunnies, notorious with the M8/9's. Try a blower with M8 pointed with bayonet mount downwards, with the M8 in B mode, blow before and after holding the shutter down. If that does not work, try wet wipes if you are confident in doing so. I find myself doing this often, after changing lenses outdoors. If the dirt is well embedded where none of above work, send it to a camera place, and they will clean on the spot with a microscope and specialized wipes. There are techniques listed in LUF under sticky.

Thanks guys and nice car photos!
Ron, no quattro this time because I wanted a relatively new car, I got a 2008, and the quattro's were a little to pricey.

Thanks Phil and Charles.
Charles, I think it could be a combination of glass and Kodak sensor?
Lovinglife, cool shots. Like the last one best.
Phil, very nice B&W shot and tones. Beautiful rendering of this classic lens.

Thanks Charles, Phil & Joe
Phil, nice captures of that truck with the Nocti.
Joe, I really like the first shot with the 90 Tele-E. Great tonality.
lovinglife - I really like your last two shot. Excellent blue tones. As others have mentined, you should get that dust off your sensor though.
This week's sunday stroll trhough the construction yard:
Finally, for those that prefer more traditional landscape photography, another one from Lofoten

Thanks Luka
Another very nice set! The 2nd and 4th shot is beautiful. The 4th pic in blue is especially impressive, nice play of blue tones keeping me guessing and thinking about what this shot means to me. Lots of people attempt to take these type of abstract shots but yours succeeds on the emotional level, at least to me.

I keep digging through my hard drive and finding shots that I have somehow discarded last year. M8 CV 50/1.5

Phil, very dramatic shot! Very nice
Joe, nice capture and timing with the tourist and tele Very nice series of M8 shots too, and more so in low light
Ty, nice series of shots. Very nice rendering in #1.
Luka, excellent shots! I really like your abstract shots with the 50 Lux The 35 and 50 Lux's are two different beasts. I do prefer the rendering with 50 Lux over the 35 Lux IMO. I would strongly suggest if are finding a niche with 50 Lux, the 28 Cron would a great lens to seriously try.

Kyle, thanks for the link but I have to respectfully disagree on the article. A "classic" is one that is timeless in the tradition and history of photography and to achieve that status, the photograph probably has to be viewed and appreciated by many people, all walks of life, including critics, etc, but nevertheless Steve Huff does take great pics and I do follow and enjoy his site and the Seal tour pics. I personally find the audience at his site very Leica biased, similar to the LUF, if you like Leica, fine, and if you don't, be prepared to be kicked, ridiculed and criticized. Nevertheless, photography as an art form like any other art is subjective.
Edit: I think the article strikes a valid point, it clearly explains that we do not need to be obsessed with gear or sharpness (I'm guilty as charged), but maybe it could have been titled: "Photography is personal", which may seem more appropriate?
For some great examples of "classic" Leica street photography, I would check out Magnum photo site.

Lovinglife, very nice shots! Different feel and look My favourite is of the headstone.
Phil, I will keep an eye out. What is your 90 preference?
Kyle, interesting article by Steve, as he is very passionate about his photography. Like Joe, classic has a different connotation for me, but I do understand Steve's perspective, that we do not get too caught up with our left brain, gear(I'm guilty here too) sharpness, and details.
