Rirakuma, really like no. 2 and 5

Zhangyue, nice PP for the after dark shots, and lovely family photos as usual.

Leonas, no. 3 is amazingly sharp!

Gary, great mood in that shot and very well composed.

Charlie, thanks for the ZM 35 shots Nice work as usual.

Burningheart, no. 2 and 3 are my favourites.

Thanks Gary - I really like your B&W images. They have a soft pleasing tone that I really identify with.
Leonasj - holy moly those are ridiculously sharp images! Love the detail in the horse shot!
Adam - nice to see you posting too!!
Uhoh - your scenics and commentary are ALWAYS worth reading. Little slice of life...
Burningheart - very cool rendering there. I like the separation and tones.
Zhangyue - as always, your color work is inspiring.

The Summicron 28 on the M240 is getting 'dissed' in another thread so I thought I'd post a few.. (and one from the 75 Summarit)

Thanks Gary. Haven't had the lens long, but from what I was hearing the other threads is sounded like the lens was almost as unusable as the M240

I added vignetting to these; I think that sebboh is right, that the vignetting on the M9 is at least part of the 'look' of the lens on that body. The lens has significantly less falloff on the M240 as far as I can see.

Katie - Nice vintage look

Gary - neat angles, good use of the 21mm. And neat stain glass shot.

CVickery - I think people misinterpret what I mean. The lens works well on both cameras, it's just more boring on the M240 then M9. This doesn't relate to image quality, but more to making a photograph straight out of camera. It just lacks the magic of the M9 days.. Which can be taken as, the lens use to perform worse, now it's more well corrected, so it's actually a better lens.. Just less interesting. Also I shoot my 28 different from the way most people would typically shoot it (since I never take landscapes). So that also has to be taken into account. - Your images look great BTW.

I really do understand what you are saying Adam, I'm just teasing a bit. To be honest, I wasn't sure about the lens based on the shots I saw with the M9, not that they weren't good, or excellent even, it just seemed to be more of a 'character' lens and I wasn't sure I had the skill to use it effectively.

So many very good images on this thread - great for getting inspiration sometimes.

joakim - love the street bike shot
zhangue - the boat images and portraits are beautiful
katie - great b&w portraits
gary - love the 21SEM cityscapes


Work has kept me extremely busy from posting on here but have had finally some time to take a long weekend break in the Scottish Highlands - still a lot of images to process - this is the first batch all taken with the Leica M240.

I found the Zeiss ZM 25/2.8 and Voigtlander 21/1.8 lenses particularly useful and astonishingly sharp from corner to corner.

If anyone has found a way of mounting a ND grad on the Voigtlander 21/1.8 please let me know - I have improvised by securing the filter with bluetack to the inbuilt hood but far from ideal...

More work at http://nicoimages.com and at the originals can be found at https://www.flickr.com/photos/nico1974

Ok, Zhangyue - is your daughter using a Nikon? I think it looks like the one I bought my son (but I got his in camo)!

Cal - anyone questioning that lens should just simply see the images and let all doubt fly away. These are lovely!
Edward - fabulous tones, and focus.
Nico - gorgeous compositions as always. Your city scapes always keep me happy, too. Love your work.
Gary - I like your "something different" lately. Nice.

Thank you Katie, Zhangyue!

Nico, fabulous landscapes! So different from your geometric cityscapes

Zhangyue, love the effect of the dusk with the camera LCD illuminating your daughter's face. Well seen and perfect exposure.

Had a couple of days off but was so tired I hardly used the camera. It's a little over a year since I used my other RF camera, so I need a little time to adjust back to it still... just general use/ergonomics. Still not quite adjusted to the focus ring/tab. But anyway, only positives so far. The battery seems wonderful. Haven't opened any files yet though (famous last words...). Case arriving tomorrow!

My first thoughts were "VSCO" . But feel free to correct me if I'm wrong... you just see a lot of it in the wedding industry right now.

Hi guys, nice images!

Did anyone read the 35 1.4 ZM rumour?
Last time I talked with Zeiss directly, they told me that all ZM lenses are on the back burner until at least late 2015. I'd be shocked if they release something earlier, or at photokina. In fact, I didn't think it was happening.

Thoughts?
