Ash, great BW set. Time to clean your censor
Ryan, very nice moment.
Charles, beautiful portrait.
Douglas, Not surprised to see your love of this 50. Leica old lens never disappointed me.
Airfrog, nice set, last one is my fav.
Edwin, What a nice color. Are those WO, under full sun like this, I expect f2.8 with 1/4000. Do you use ND filter?
Edward, another nice shot with very vivid color.
wstam , #1 is great.
Zhangyue, those pics are fantastic. It sure figures that the least expensive lens that has crossed my desk in the last several months is my favorite. The 50 Summicron v.1 just has "it" for me. In fact, I like it so much that I'm selling everything else that I have, outside of a 90 tele-elmarit (thin) that I use for an occasional family portrait. I love the idea of being limited to one lens, so that I'm not mired in choice. We'll see how long that lasts.
wstam, very nice shots with the ZM 35/2.
Michael, love the first shot! super! Please stop showing me 35CronV1 pics! My heart is weak...
Douglas, lets see how long that last with one lens... but the beauty of the M setup is that you can try all types of lenses, even those pre-war ones which can be interesting such as the modified Contax Zeiss or NikkorS lenses.

Trying to see if I can post from my flickr account. Lets see if it works.
First shot was posted on this thread way back in 2011. M9 28Cron. For comparison, a similar viewpoint with M6 TTL 35Lux ASPH on Velvia 50.
Beautiful Joe. THe first one show on the site here and I can see the second one if I click on the link but it shows here as This image or video is currently unavailable. Post Pg 624 #20 and none of the last ones show up here.

Thanks Allen. I don't know how it works with Flickr. I pasted the BB codes directly to the thread.
Can you see the 3 pics posted on this page (p625)?
Joe, you can't do that with flickr. In flickr, open each image, go to view all sizes, click the size you want, then right click and get the direct link of that size. Then paste the link only here, it will automatically display as a picture without any tags.
Michael and Joe, thank you
Allen, excellent street. Always love the perspective of your shots!
Edward, very nice street capture of the Taoist temple!
wstam, nice set of shots!
Joe, just love these set of Velvia 50 shots!!! It is hard to emulate this look digitally
Thanks Michael & Charles. Film can be fun for the experience but I think at least for 35mm format, we have moved on to digital. Medium and large format is another story for now.
I might have posted this comparison back when I took these pics in 2011, but here we can compare the highlight roll off on a similar scene. First shot, my M6 with Ektar 100 (35mm lens) and below that, M9 with 28Cron. You can see the difference in the highlight retention. Digital sensors will keep improving and I hope soon enough we can have sensors with much better DR or at least some way to control the highlight signal amplification and retention?
Joe, very nice examples! Excellent PP'ing with the film shot. I am now finding the DR with RX1 almost like film now, particularly with highlights. So I would assume the new sensor with the M240, will have a much improved DR if not better than with the Sony sensors!
Ryan, really cool shots!!!
Here's one from a few months ago with a 50/1.5 ZM before I sold it. There are many graffiti artists in the area, I saw this, thought it was fairly interesting, took a snap, went back a few days later and saw that they had already torn it down.

I think LR4's new highlight controls are a pretty major step forward, and you can really get a nice roll off as long as you don't clip the highlights and just bring up the exposure in post. More DR in digital sensors will really just be about how much you can bring up the shadows and still maintain details.
