Since my stage of recovery from my accident still doesn't allow for long walking I did a good amount of this Summer's European trip exploring around in my mobility scooter. In Berlin the Holocaust Memorial has slightly wider paths in some areas to accommodate this. This image was shot down one of those paths, and from the lower perspective that the seated position of the scooter provides.
The woman in the red shirt was visible only for a very short moment, but I was lucky enough to catch her centered.

The lady in red really makes the image. Excellent 'seen'.
this 35 Lux FLE I is just blowing me away....here is just one shot, I have tons more to go through. First shot is 35 FLE I on M10-R...second shot is 100% crop with zero editing. No sharpness, color, etc. Unreal. The way this lens draws...amazing. The 35 Distagon is plenty sharp, bokeh is great, pretty much a flawless lens optically, but the Lux has some special magic it adds. The first shot also has texture and clarity sliders dragged down to soften it a bit

absolutely love the rendering on these, especially the last one. I may have to try for a third time
on web size it looks very similar to the Q
Give it another try! In some ways it resembles the Q but I have the Q2 side by side I would say the Q2 is sharper, but also more sterile. Zooming in and pixel peep, you'll see the sheer resolution and sharpness goodness. But zooming out and fill the frame, Thypoch images just look more lively to me. Pairing with M9 the rendering is just off the chart, mostly I just leave the dng sooc and export via lightroom.
PS: The 3rd picture of the lady had some veiling flare that I add the contrast back in a little. Something that won't happen with the Q2...
I did a considerable amount of train travel in Europe this past Month. At the main train station in central Berlin I wanted to try something different than I usually see of a blurry train and sharp people. So, I decided to try a B & W multi-shot horizontal panorama of one of the heavily populated train platforms. This train station is four or five layers deep so had interested lighting in the underground sections. I shot from straight on and then only to the right in order to try and achieve the tapered look I envisioned. I was not at all sure of how it would all work out, but I am pleased with the result, and think the form factor will make a nice print in the right location.
