\'You lot\' are to blame for my spending yet more money on photo gear!
With a large investment in Canon and alt lenses, I nevertheless have joined the \'M\' community with an initially low investment. The catalyst was simply viewing the quality of images on this thread.
My investment has been low so far. An M8 bought for A$1500 and a CV35/1.4 for A$440. I bought the necessary UV+IR filter and lens hood separately.
My first forays with this combo were in the back garden, then Kuala Lumpur and now N Ireland where we are on a family visit. A low cost Jupiter 8 is also on the way. Yesterday I also fitted my C/Y 50/1.4 to the M8 with a $50 adapter and took a couple of sample shots. Incidentally I also notice a similar adapter is available for Leica R lenses, so why this \'revelation\' about the incoming new M? ( I have Macro-Elmarit 60 and an Elmarit 28).
Here are a couple of shots for ricardovaste who asked about the CV35/1.4

Here are a couple of shots for ricardovaste who asked about the CV35/1.4, if I can load them from this iPad.
