Love the photographs but wanted to comment on your question - yes, let us please combine the threads. I see double posts aplenty (the guilty will know who they are....!) from folks who want their lovely photos seen, and it is wasteful and inefficient. I would be happy to include the Monochrom thread too, but would understand if that goes too far for some.Any thoughts on combining the 'Even New Fun....' thread and the 'Fun with the New Leica M' thread?

Well. I put a more explicit post earlier and removed it after I learned more about the situation from Bob. I can understand that any kind of political opinion tends to cause ructions (especially on the Leica forum)Oh, come on. The Administrator didn't edit your photos--which is the point of this thread--he just removed your political commentary. That's not censorship, that's a reminder that this is a photography board, not a political commentary site. Love your photos, by the way. Don't stop doing that.
Excellent suggestion and it's been done. I also simplified the name of this thread to "Fun w/Digital M Images"Any thoughts on combining the 'Even New Fun....' thread and the 'Fun with the New Leica M' thread?

Thanks Jono. Don't expect to be using it that often because I prefer longer focal lengths for my usual 'street' stuff, but when I do get out for some peace and quiet it will definitely be in the bag - which was the point of buying it.Lovely Mike
You're making that Zeiss sing!
Congrats, Jono, that rigid is a wonderful lens. I think you'll especially love it on the Monochrome. Looking forward to some more results.Hi there
I had a little accident on eBay yesterday and am now the proud owner of a 1957 vintage rigid summicron 50.
I think it looks very pretty on the silver M
My favorite lens from my youth :grin:Hi there

We received several complaints about the political nature of your post, and moreover had a few folks that added they were offended by same. Again, we remain as Switzerland here -- GetDPI is NOT an open forum for individuals to express political or religious POV's -- it IS a forum where you can share images with neutral commentary and let the readers draw THEIR OWN conclusions. In fact, I'll go one step further -- if you feel the need to share the POV you are trying to convey with your images in writing, then you probably failed with your journalistic imagery in the first place. (In your particular case, I do believe your images were strong enough on their own, and actually made a stronger case for your side by themselves -- the addition of your written POV only served to turn off a set of otherwise open-minded viewers.)Censorship is terrible thing! Not only do photographers have to worry about being censored or stopped in public for taking pictures, but now we have to be careful and not post reportage images in photography forums. Gods forbid someone is enlightened to what is happening in other parts of the world. One of the things I appreciate about this thread is not only wonderful photography produced with a camera I like and now use, but to also see other parts of the world and glimpse into what other people are seeing and or experiencing. If something is not to my liking I simply ignore it and move on, which is what I'm guessing others do as well. And commentary about a particular photo or photo set helps give the viewer context--whether biased or unbiased.
Lastly, I feel it would have been in better taste for the admin to have sent me a private message or email asking me to edit my commentary or delete the post altogether instead of the public example-making that was done--the above message was not only meant for me, but for others as well to not post anything with commentary that may appear to be biased. My guess is that he was offended by the post and reacted emotionally rather than rationally. Because judging from the half-dozen likes the post received, it didn't seem to offend anyone else.
Happy image making!!!
