Steve, thanks Another excellent set of shots with the Nocti I just love the way the lens sees differently.
LL, I do tend to agree, the 28 Cron with the M9, appears to be an excellent match.
Ajay, yes some different shots! Looking forward to some more of your 24 Lux shots
Corposant, very nice shots, particularly #1 of the second set.
Charles, i like #1...i did not realize that its a trailer truck with a picture on its wall until a few seconds. I thought that was a water reservoir that will drain towards those tunnels
Steve, nice B&Ws
Corp, i like #1 as well...great capture
Silken, i like #3...that fish looks heavy from that kid's hands
Random question for some of you guys, what camera bag are you using for your leica rangefinders? I'm looking into the Domke F-6 or the F-3X but I'm worried that there won't be enough padding for the camera.

I use both the F-831 and F-832 for my cameras. The smaller one holds a camera and two lenses, the medium one could hold two cameras and about 4 lenses (or most of my Mamiya gear).
Of all the Domke bags I looked at, the F-831 is the absolute smallest bag that looks the least like a camera bag, and also looks pretty cool too (sort of a distressed canvas look). I find the padding inside to be more than adequate for bumps and jostles. Just don't drop it off the side of a building.
Ajay, congrats on the 24 Lux Interesting rendering - I'm surprised a bit by the bokeh.
Steve, superb couple of sets! Love the clean compositions and the stark, contrasty B/W conversion.
LL, cool shot with the 28 cron!
KL, fantastic set! It definitely has your signature. I really like how you work with layers in your compositions.
Charles, very nice dramatic urban shots and very nice PP.
Corposant, neat shot with the Jesus shadow
Cory, as always very nice nautically themed shots
Edwin, congrats on the 90 Cron Pre-ASPH. It's a nice lens. Good work on the focusing - 90 mm, wide open on moving subjects isn't easy!

I use a Domke F-803 that I'm very happy with. It's pretty compact but I can still stuff the M9 plus five or six lenses in it. It has enough extra pockets for SD cards, batteries etc.
Edwin and Luka, thanks guys
Edwin, congrats on the 90 Cron Pre Asph! Beautiful lens. I do find it easier to focus with this lens than the 90 Cron APO, maybe because of the different focus throw design. Nice captures
Brody, I use the Domke F 803 too, even when travelling extensively. I organise it so I take two M9 bodies with 4 or 5 lenses. Anything else I think off and it doesn't fit, it stays behind
Luka, beautiful shots! Particularly #3 and 4. I do like the way the 50 Lux separates the tree from the background in the last shot.
Brody, i have a few bags that i use in different outings, a tamrak and a NatGeo included. But my everyday bag is a custom-hand-made leather messenger bag that could fit my M9 with lens mounted and an extra lens plus accessories...and a custom compartment for my concealed carry FA ...a chrome taurus PT-145
Charles & Luka, thanks. I find it hard shooting with the 90 specially in low light with shutter speeds lower than 1/45, camera shake is very evident. I also find the focus throw from MFD to 2m a bit too long for my taste but of course i believe its for precision purposes. But its a beautiful lens with my first take with it. I think my 1.4x magnifier will greatly help if i use it...which i still have to look for i seem to have misplaced it
Luka, your shots are worth printing all the time. They're like those printed on the high quality wall calendars that i receive during Christmas

Wonderful shots guys. Too many wonderful shots to comment individually. Been away from this thread, barely any time for photography these days. However, here are some random shots with a new lens - Summilux 24 ASPH. http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6166/6253132126_e2ff354b67_b.jpg
those are some very intriguingly shaped oof highlights. not at all what i expected from a leica asph. that is a very exciting new lens and i'll be curious to see what it produces when you have time to shoot more seriously with it. incidently, it looks like you were in my neighborhood to take that shot.
Another excellent set of shots with the Nocti
I just love the way the lens sees differently.
