I've got damn near the full suite of Simera lenses for the M and I quite enjoy them. I do think the tolerances could be better, and as much as I like the red hyperfocal scale it isn't very practical, but optically they're interesting. I finally got to use the 75mm on an M body--I've been using it almost exclusively on the Hasselblad until this past weekend, and it was a challenge. Nailing focus wide open on a rangefinder is especially punishing on a digital sensor. I was running around with an M11 this weekend, but I had an M EV1 a few weekends back.

I haven't done a proper shoot with my Leica kit yet. It's mostly been walk around and family stuff. Maybe next month. ...Show more →
Hey Roman! Great to see you posting images here on this thread. They are nice and just the kind of images one should take to learn the M system. Shooting wide open especially with fast, long lenses is a challenge on RF cameras but you are doing well.
