Thank you all for comments and 'like', I appreciate
Gary, another beautiful shot!
Katie, nice one!
Here are few more from Disney. I took three lens with M9 with me but use 50lux only in the end, though I didn't take many shots this time.
All 50lux ASPH, all WO

Very nice Michael! With a lens like that, who needs the Otus? 
Wow Gary, you certainly got a great series from that location!

Katie, nice shot but how can you tell these are ducks?
Zhangyue, you disappear for long periods, and you come back with awesome shots every time. This last set is absolutely fantastic!

Michael great shots with your 50 lux, I just picked up a cron but I think I'll be lusting for a lux in the not so distant future. Sorry to put this here but if anybody knows someone selling a 21 SEM could you please direct them to me? Ron had tipped me on a great deal not long ago but I stupidly passed on it to get a nocti.

The shot was taken with the 21mm on ... so I could see them plain as day right in front of me. I know they were ducks (and that they were pintail ducks at that) because my husband brought me out to his duck blind to check and see if there were ducks on it before bringing my son out here on Sunday for a hunt. Duck gumbo is my husband's specialty dish... he is from Louisiana (he's cajun).

M240 w/Noct 1f - I definitely prefer the colored version over the B and W

Guys thanks for the encouragement and tips!
Jam - I've used the 21ZE and I felt it was the best wide I've ever used.. The 21 SEM seems to have a very similar feel to me, and really for the size it's a lot more practical of a lens to just toss in a pocket when going out (assuming you're wearing a coat with decent pockets). I read this forum backwards, and noticed a few of you were looking for the 21 SEM, I'm very tempted to sell (trying to minimize my dependency, and stress with Leica these days).. Or was, until I started thinking about my shots, and until I went into my office and looked over some of my old 21 ZE shots vs my new 21 SEM shots from Australia, NZ, California... And now I'm thinking I might just keep it, simply because it is such an awesome lens for the size!
Color wise and other, IMHO it has the 21 ZM beat (both versions).. The 21ZE again is really just to heavy/big to compare, as I found myself leaving it at home and ultimately missing shots. But IQ wise, I like them both.
The other lens I feel complements the look, is the 28elmarit-asph, so if you wanted something less wide, it's a great lens as well...
And recently I've discovered that the Sony Alpha (a99) system is pretty fantastic, so much so that I bought all the primes and all the zooms that Zeiss makes for the system, and 3 bodies (replacing my professional Nikon kit with Sony). I really like the 24 ZA, it has the same feel to me as the 21ZE and 21 SEM. But again, same thing, for the size of the a99/24ZA I'd probably leave it at home, which is really where the 28elmarit-asph and 21SEM shine!

atwl77, nice attempt at bw. Did you oversharpen a tad... Maybe. Or maybe try another preset for a little less crunchy look?
I like the shots composition and framing.

Michael, beautiful colors on your photos.
Gary, another great landscape photo
Katie, nice duck shooting
Allen, very good business portrait
Phil, more good work from that wedding
Dexter, nice portrait
Adrian, they look good but over sharpened
Regarding gear: I don't have the 21 SEM but the 24 Elmar ASPH and it is a great lens and even if they are close in focal length I am tempted to get the 21 as well. The combination of IQ and size in these two lenses are just fantastic.

Doug, joakim, thanks, and yes, you guys are right on sharpening. I usually don't shoot stuff with such high detail and/or deep DOF... so my usual preset for shallow DOF portrait was probably not the best choice.
