Phil, you might want to add a 50Lux ASPH to the collection at some point. If you like the 50FOV, you need to give it a try.
KL, with regards to carrying film through X-ray, make sure you hand carry them. If its ISO 400/800 or below you should be fine for at least 7 to 10 X-ray passes, but it will fog up if its a 1600/3200 or pushed film. There are many opinions and I was also worried initially and asked around, but recently I carried a roll of PortraNC160 a a few rolls of Delta 400/HP 5 Plus round the world (forgot that these were in the bag) and probably after at least 15 to 20 hand baggage scans, the colors still looked good. You can get an X ray bag if it helps. I also had 2 roll of HP5 Plus accidently checked in on the way back from Kuala Lumpur to Boston and it turned out OK but I won't want to do it again.
Ron, you should give the 28Cron a try, but be careful, you might end up with more than one Leica lens  . The CV 28/1.9 is also a very nice lens if you can find a used one. Has some veiling flare to it but still an excellent buy. Stay away from the CV 28/2 Ultron, from what I've seen and read, has focus shift and is very poor at the corners even when stopped down to f/8.
Luka, nice set! The 4th shot with the 90Cron is my favorite from this. Since you shoot so much, I'm kind of using your pic post to see if I can tell the lenses apart before looking at the EXIF. On this set, I could immediately tell #1 was with the 50Lux ASPH, its just an almost perfect lens, the fine sharpness on the foreground blades of leaves is amazing and that was my tell tale sign. But I could not really tell the other 3 lenses in the set. On #2, I see some modern as well as some classic DG rendering, only the FV gave it away as a wider lens. On #3, I initially thought it was the 50Lux ASPH, but then its lacking is some detail, wasn't sure until I looked at the EXIF. On #4, this one renders superbly, somewhat similar to #2, only the framing gave it away as a longer lens, ie, your 90Cron. Again, this is just my own opinion, just trying to have fun and learn a bit on a Sunday morning 
Charles, really excellent portrait, you've captured the calm personality well! .. and the pp is spot on. I really like the 35FOV for these type of environmental portrait work.
Malkovic, ah my favorite coffee.. umm sorry, meant film Nice B&W!
Ryan, nice set with the 35Lux. #1 & 3 are excellent! #3 really screams Leica magic.
Edit: Think we posted at the same time and I didn't see it earlier. Nice set KL! Like how the composition on #1 leads to the car eventually. Not bad at all on the focusing!

Finally shot a few frames on the Rollei and called it a day. So, no new pics for today. One from the archives. M9 35Lux ASPH
. I don't notice focus shift at all in real life situations. On a tripod when shooting at MFD I notice it literally very slightly...but in real world shooting I haven't trashed one picture b/c of focus shift. I *may* have a better than average copy....but then that is what I hear from everyone that has it. My question is, does everyone have a better than average copy or did one person on the internet strike fear in the consumers and leave them talking about the horrible focus shift without ever really trying it
