Andrew - great to see you posting and nice shot.
Robert - I love capturing storms and these pics show a good variety. The weather has been quite wonky lately - especially the darn snow that is falling at the moment! PS - time for a sensor clean?
Thanks Gary, Snow maybe I should give my sensor a wet wash. Actually I finally did give it a wet cleaning last week after visiting here which was prior to the 2nd storm.
Lux 50
Came across this bee caught in the flower petals
Closer Crop
100% Crop - The bee did get free without any assistance.
Katie - very cute Zsa Zsa shot looks so content, and happy.
zhangyue- Lovely coloration in Zion. Makes me think a colour Leica with a 28cron is a necessity.
Charlie you rock the ZM 35. Like the cupcake with the candle.
Ron - I like that 2nd shot showing nothing but bokeh. Very unique.
Freitz - I can hear the dog, Just pick up the ball and toss it. I'm ready, wait I have to smile you are taking a picture. Nice shot. Don't compare it with the 24-70 MKII different lenses and cameras for different uses.
Joan - very nice composition.
p1031
Ron - The Zeiss 50/1.5 very nice out of focus effects.
zhangyue - nice star effect and the 3rd shot love the impression of the height of the trees.
Richard - love the shot of the car. Nice background effect.
Pingflood - You captured the emotion of the song Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
Gary - love the mountain shots but the tree with the moss really caught my attention
Uhoh7 - the first trailhead shot gives an impression the trail could be train tracks. Very nice capture. Lovely set.
Edward - Love the color combination in the starbucks shot.
Gary lovely stained glass capture with just a hint of detail in the shadows
Tophoto - See you captured the dog look at something in the distance. I wonder what the dog is thinking.
Uhoh7 - The third shot with the cron I like the sense of height looking upwards.
Allen - As always love the Monochrom shots of your. My fav is the fellow with the happy face button but his expression is in stark contrast.
p1032
Ryan - love the Great Floating Gate shot, nice coloration. Also love the colours you got in the ladies dresses.
p1033
Katie - I like the facial expression you captured. In deep thought about something.
p1034
Gary - nice symmetry in the 1st castle shot. I like the pictures through the windows.
Tophoto - Nice expression and focus on the face and the pp of the background.
uhoh7 - chapter 3 - the 8th shot the colour of the lake very nice, nice blend of colours in this image.
Andrew - nice love the golden colour you captured.

Nope, it's the M version, so slightly more difficult I guess . I'll see though, coding might not be essential...
Frame lines depend on the lens flange. 50mm frame lines will appear coded or uncoded.
Coding gives 3 things. 1) Exif data. 2) Zoom information to a TTL flash and. 3) In camera lens profile correction. On the 50's most of the correction is for vignetting. Very little colour changes are used.
Coding a current Nokton is dead easy because of the groove on the flange. I like my EXIF info, even if the aperture value set is usually totally different to the on recorded... :-)
Gary - I vote black and white because I don't like rainbow flare (if it were just the red blush flare, I wouldn't mind the color). And out of the black and whites, the first one from your last post. Your travel images with arches framing shots are neat.
Burning heart - Nice images, like the set a lot (random things). The landscapes are also good, though I don't see snow, didn't you say something about a snow day?!
Ron - Told you so Good job though with the explanation. Much better then just listing to my ranting.
uhoh7 - Like the colours in your landscapes this time around.
Andrew Gough - You're gonna have to stop cheating on us.. We like your images more then the other thread
tophoto - good portrait, very mans man kinda look. Eastwood/Mcqueen kinda vibe.
Thanks Adam and yes snow day today, no photographing today and no class tonight. Granted I could have gone outside and snap a few. Maybe I will in the morning should be lots of white then.
Gary I prefer the colour on my Mac it has that older film look to it.
Nice images, everyone.
Burningheart, thank you very much for comment my photo, You have posted some very nice images. Very good process.
Gary, definitely BW dark impact version. Also love your previous set.
Ron, very informative as always, Can I assume difference is mainly from profile? or physically.(vignette difference must be from sensor design though.)
Had a very nice weekend in Yosemite valley. Here are few processed, more to come
all 50lux
I recently had all of my Leica kit serviced and adjusted, and now the whole thing shoots like a dream... Here are two of my daughter. I'm doing a series of her and trying to achieve a very particular look. The 90's rendition gets me closer to what I want I think, but the 50's crispness and ease of use is hard to resist.
Any thoughts as to whether these are working, and how to improve them?
I would say use a less sharp lens, and maybe add some vignetting, maybe even some grain. They are gorgeous, but lack that authentic period feel. The light is also too directional, perhaps put a large white sheet up in front of it.
Gary, I have been extremely busy this year. I branched off into another type of photography and video. This aspect of my business uses Canon gear and Sony, so they are not relevant to this thread. I have also been shooting with the Leica, and I plan to post more now that things are slowing somewhat.
Ron, I will shoot the 28' cron on the m240 wide open and check it out. I have a feeling that the M9 applied a lot of built in corrections, whereas the M240 starts out with a much better image. The M240 has significantly better micro lenses, now with the better processing available in the M240, maybe Leica made the lens "truer" who knows...
