Wow! Todd Hido-esque. I’ve been on the lookout for that lens. I have the 1.4 and it’s lovely.
I own both lenses! Since I have the f/1.2, the f/1.4 sits around. It took me three attempts to find a good copy of the f/1.2. The first one was misaligned with its aperture ring (widest open at f-number 2.8 instead of 1.2), the second copy had a reversed lens element for close focus but unable to focus at infinity. The third one was finally the keeper lens. I got mine from UsedPhotoPro - they currently have one available: https://usedphotopro.com/canon-50mm-f12-ltm-m39-rangefinder-lens-ucr-06-5012-4-43523-5f7ff3fa
On Thursday I made my 4th trip to the San Francisco Chinatown in 3 months.... I've decided to visit the Chinatown area at least once a month for about a year. I am using Chinatown as a personal laboratory for learning how to do street photography with Leica M cameras. I've posted work from prior visits... the following are images from last week. I have a few more to process, but these 6 were the ones that caught my eye.
(note, you'll see a mix of M10 and M9 shots. While in SF, I decided to trade my M240 and M9 to get the M10. I had an M10 for about 2 months, sold it, and wish I never did.... I can't afford an M10R or M11, so I think this will have to be my body for the next few years... I love how it handles compared to the older bodies.)

Agree the M 10 is a great camera. I think 24 MPs is more than enough. If you need really big prints the upsizing software like OnOne Resize can do it just fine.
