Even though I don't always comment on each post you all are so inspirational. I try to look in everyday. Thank you TO ALL that post here.
Thanks to all for the comments!
Charles - what a great shot! I really like how her eyes and hand(s) are in focus. Really nice PP as well.
Allen - congrats on the award! Well done.
Joe - cute shot. "Jailbreak".
Ryan - real nice work with the CV50! They are all good but #2 made me smile.
Jamgolf - welcome aboard! Looking forward to seeing more from you...
Some recent stuff for some friends. Left the 135mm entered as the focal length for the whole shoot, so I'm guessing at lenses. Few of my boy at the end.
Thank you very much, Michael, Adam, Ryan, Joe, Allen and Gary, and for the all the likes
Edward, very nice pensive image.
Jam, greetings and great to see you here
Joe, very nice B&W capture!
Ryan, great portrait series!! Love them as a set.
Ryankarr, wonderful portrait series. Beautiful lighting and PP'ing.
Thanks for the warm welcome. For the past year I have been enjoying and appreciating Leica-R glass with a D800 (will continue to do so) and finally I decided to pick up an M9 and experience the rangefinder once again. In the early 80s I started with my dad's Yashica Electro 35 and M9 is not that different in its usage.
I am starting off with Summicron(s) 28mm and 75mm. 28mm colors are very rich. Its definitely a different, a unique rendering compared to other Leica glass that I have owned/used. Still awaiting the Summicron 75mm.
Gary, great shots! Love the paint like feel to the last shot with the 90 Cron PreAA.
Another shot from the Water Temple, as a group of elders are dressed in elegant attire, and assisting with the Temple preparation. M240 50 Cron Rigid DR.
In no particular order:
Charles, great photos from Bali. This last one looks great even on the crappy display I have at work.
Gary, great work with the 21 SEM
Joe, great to see those S2 photos.
Allen, congratulations on the award.
Ryan, great set with your daughter.
Ryan, very nice portrait of Superman with the 21 Lux
jamgolf, welcome
Hello guy's, my short lived Leica chase has ended, I choose canon instead, as my budget was not large enough! However, I have ignored my wife's advice, and purchased a nice vintage Leica Summarit 50mm 1.5 L39 Screw Mount Lens w/Cap from Kohs Camera Inc. Bellmore, New York, United States, it is now on sale in the forum, because I felt it odd to send it back to the seller, because of my lameness. it is here, if anyone is interested! thank you!
Thank you Joakim, Edward and Adam
Adam, very nice textures. I hoping for speedy return of your 50 APO!
Joakim, very neat capture I like the flow of the image.
To be honest, I have to take notes to keep up with this thread. It's like school for me.
Joe - what an amazing experience to get to meet Constantine Manos and spend time with the artist at the exhibit!
Charles - your images from your trip(?) are all wonderful. Loving the PP on them!
Allen - congrats!!!!!! How wonderful - I always liked that image of yours... and I also really like your last comment. I feel the same way!
Edward - um, nice snapshot! Most people work all their life to take "snapshots" that good, you know.
Gary - you are killing me with the spectacular 21 images. I am breaking in my CV 21 and hope to master it like you seem to have done.
Jamgolf - welcome! What's your name?
Ryan - I am so glad you kept the Nokton 50. It suits you so well...
RyanK - hi! I don't know you, but looks like you have a super cute family. Looking forward to more of your images.
Adam - wishing your 50 APO a very speedy return.
Joakim - LOVE that shot. I really want to know what they are looking at ... very intriguing shot!
A few snapshots from me with the CV 35 1.2 and CV 21 on M-E.
