LoL Edward THANKS I set my lens for 5 ft and pushed the shutter when I thought they were at about 5 ft. I think I was at 5.6 or f 8 so I had a little DoF to work with give or take a couple of ft. If I remember correctly think I was more worried at the time if the shutter speed was fast enough. I use my DoF scale a lot.
I shot this in Oct of 12 right after fantasy fest in Key West so a lot of beads still around.
After I responded I went back and looked at the DNG and I was mistaken on the 5 ft thing. This image was cropped so the beads were farther away than shown on this tighter crop so definitely not intervention (LoL). Probable closer to 8 or so ft away which does increase the DoF and f/6.7 at 1/180 anyway thats what the info on the file says.

Zhangyue, very nice set but I really like the first shot with the dog looking up at you.
Allen, I think you're just being humble
The subject behind is OOF and the beads are so sharp they're causing a 3D effect and almost look like they have have been cut out and pasted. I think you only had a split second to make a decision, and this denotes great familiarity with both lens and camera. Hat's off!
Leonas, nice shot and I like the light and shadow. Perhaps the effect will be even better in b/w.

Salvador, the Spiderman is defiantly out of shape, like also the last one!
Najibs, funny faces indeed, very precise focusing to. The cat shot is awesome!
Asiafish, nice series!
Allen, unbelievable shot! You really got the moment.
Zhangyue, like Edward I like the first a lot! The dog is just to funny....

Those three snap shots are from a short hike we did today. Last sunday we got 50cm snow in the mountains, which really sucks! Because it is to warm, it's just a heavy slush.

Nikkor 50/1.4
Spring is in the air
My 5cm nikkor circa 1954 goes to M via amedeo adapter, which appears to focus fine. The lens performs far better on the M9 than any of the sonys. The wild bokeh only really appears as you get very close wide open with a busy background. However the slightes tchange in light and range does change it's look dramatically.
The 1954 Canon 85/1.5 also does very well on the M9:

Peter, fantastic photos as usual!
Charlie, love the dog shot. Very funky bokeh
Leonas, I think this looks awesome. I don't have any fixed rules for my conversions. I just play with the sliders until it looks right.
I received today my custom made Arte Di Mano case for the M. I ordered it without the built-in grip and the tripod socket. I really like it as it preserves the minimalistic Spartan form of the camera. The grip is excellent as it is:

Nice case Edward!
I bought a 2nd hand Luigi case early on in my M8 days and I've always preferred the feel of that to the handling with a Thumbs Up.
I also shot a few images with my M9 yesterday in the damp evening gloom, comparing the Cron 50 with my M8 in RAW mode and a CV35/1.4, both at f2. Of course the M9 came out on top! Some more shots with it at lunch today, simply using the CV35 at f4 - magical portrait results (to me)
It seems that admitting my camera has a brand-new Leica-approved sensor has been detrimental to its resale potential - illogical.
The re-sale price I seem to be able to attract here in Aus is way down (formerly above US prices, but now certainly no better), so now I'm the owner of a 5DIII, A7R, M6Classic, M8 and M9 - something has to give, but the M9 is likely to stay in my over the top arsenal !!!

Thank you David! I find that not all people are aware of the sensor issue. For those who are aware, a new sensor means peace of mind. If I was in the market for an M9, I will definitely inspect the sensor thoroughly and one with a new sensor is better than one with the original sensor. The prices in Thailand are quite high actually. I would say 4-4.5k US$ for a clean non abused body.

Case and camera look fantasic I always get comments on my Luigi case--so it pays to have a nice one! (I sent my Mr Zhou case back, as there was no comparison).
again 1954 nikkor 5cm f/1.4 all wide open on M9.
This is the lens which put nikon on the map, as most prolly know, Douglas David Duncan put the LTM versions on his Leica during the Korean War.
It was the world's first f/1.4 lens.
Duncan's Work
However I think his favorite was the 85/2.

Uhoh - nice find! Super cool rendering with the dog.
Allen - I always like "reading" your images. Always something to interpret there...
I got my itsy bitsy CV 25/4 today. Nice to have a light weight lens on the camera. It should be great as a carry around. In the 10 or so shots from this afternoon, I really don't see any color shift so far.
