Najib, beautiful family shots and b/w conversions. The 3rd shot is priceless.
Manoj, nice work in the pub. Excellent framing, the colors and contrast are very Zeissy, and PP is perfect.
I agree and thanks Manoj. Good stuff as usual Edward. I have to say it again this is my fav thread on the world wide web and its all of your faults. The work in this thread is pure inspiration.

Perhaps it's because if you don't like the subject matter, be it models, kids, cats, street scenes, landscapes, you can at least enjoy the rendering qualities of the lenses, and thus it promotes this idea of commenting and staying rather positive about everyones posts, and I guess that helps to promote safe sharing among other M fans.
For instance, I'm sure you're all sick of seeing my wife, but she's my only willing model, so here's a shot of her sitting on a stump at the park (Griffith Park), I shot it with the 50APO at f/2:

Thanks so much Mirek.
It's now my pleasure to save you 2kUSD. The 90 above is this one:
I paid 350USD for it in perfect shape from adorma
It's the Voigtlander 90/3.5 APO LantharI use to have the 90/3.5 APO Lanthar, I hated it... But for some reason, I really like your images!
Picked up the 90 Summarit to compare with the 75/90 APO and 75 Summarit. So far seems like nice rendering, lacks contrast, perhaps a bit to much.
Sorry haven't been online, I'm on vacation sorta, so busy, doesn't feel like vacation.I'd like to hear more about your thoughts on this because I'm also considering buying one of these lenses.
Sorry I didn't see this:
More on the 90 CV, or the other lenses?
My main gripe with the 90CV was that I didn't like the bokeh in certain situations, and I also really found the rendering uninteresting and abrupt for the way I was shooting it. Mind you mostly on an M8 and only a bit on the M9.
My very quick take on the other lenses are:
75 APO - seems to lack contrast significantly, gives you a soft rendering, with really sharp focus point. Bokeh is pretty nice throughout, but you really need to be prepared to work on the contrast/curves in LR if you want an images that doesn't feel flat and washed out. I've read about this, and I might just need to have my lens serviced, but in all fairness I just did get it back from Germany, and nothing has changed with it..
75 Summarit - Has better overall contrast, but seems to be a bit muddy in the colors at times. Can often give a really neat look, but portraits can suffer a bit from the slightly muddy colors (nothing near as bad as canon/nikon though). Bokeh can be a slight bit more sketchy, but I actually quite like it, its unusually pleasing, even though I shouldn't be a fan based on what I usually like to see in my images.
90 APO - I found this lens to be fantastic, no complaints other then it was hard to nail focus, I don't know why, it just is.. Also found it to be a bit flat at times, but nothing you couldn't fix in LR, not nearly as bad as the 75APO.
90 Summarit - Thus far, find it much easier to focus then the 90APO, but it suffers from being a slight bit more muddy, not a lot of contrast (almost like the 75APO in that sense, but seems slightly more artificial/sketchy when you try to enhance it in LR).
Again these are just my quick thoughts and I haven't done a direct comparison yet.. And now anyway my opinion is quickly becoming less valid, as I find myself comparing all my lenses to my 50APO, which is on the camera 100% of the time.. I'm not kidding about the 100%, I picked up a second M240 just so I would use my other lenses.

adam, excellent shot and beautiful woman! I believe to see a light source in her eyes, did you use a golden reflector, since the shot is against the sun, just curios?

Adam, I agree with muc_marlin about the shot and she is indeed beautiful. Just lovely light and natural pose. Light, subject, pose and feel are all working so well together in this.
Charles, I meant to comment on the faded roses. Great stuff.
And Z pg 928 killer color and wonderful series. Love the look.
More really great images Edward. Love the strong primaries in the last one. Strong blue, red and yellow.
Katie you're rock'n in Texas. Really intimate looks inside your world and family. WONDERFUL and way beyond the average family photos. Sorry if I missed anyone. This thread can move quickly and there is so many good images to look at. Keep up the great diverse work everyone. Always a perfect way to start the day. This thread and a cup a joe....

Allen, Charles, thank you so much for the nice comments! Indeed I confess that I love shooting with the 50 planar the most
Allen, the photo on the last page of the old woman is just fantastic! It's a classic.
Najib, Nice portraits with the planar. I'm sure you'll love this lens.

Haha, thanks!
When shooting female portraits I wear a white shirt. I think you are seeing the sun reflecting off my shirt (really it works). That and her eyes are hazel/green (depending on her mood) so that's where the gold tint comes from.
