Ed: Nice eye. Shoes designed to match Fall colors? :thumbup:Fall Colors at The Seattle Japanese Garden
Osman: Thank you, my friend. But, I still would have had to take the photo! (insert LOL here)Matt, wonderful and humorous captures! There may not be a causal relationship between the two, but the last shot still has its striking message; glad it wasn't written on the jeans
Steve: Thank you! I'm practicing. So, it's not the end of the world when someone coats a bike in rubber spikes?Im looking for Brando in the first shot...So Cool! Great PP!
# 2 could be an advertisement for the 0.95! Very Good!
ceh: Thanks!This image is fantastic!:salute:I don't think there's any causal relationship between the first two photos and the third. Cheers, Matt
Sport...
Ceh: Excellent series. Shutter speed and pp was perfect. :thumbs:Three consecutive images...
Steve: Nice juxtaposition! That dude's a little scary (as well as sexy?). I like the way the tree is just something else to look at (A+B and X). :thumbup:I Am!
M8.2, 50 Lux asph
Lloyd: Thank you! I was hoping someone could explain the rubberized motorcycle and that it did'nt mean what was on the sweatshirt.Great shots, but had to separate from the notion of a relationship between them.
Lloyd: This is very beautiful! Composition, expression, colors and pp are terrific. The distinctive signature of the f/1 really works here. :thumbup:Not all our Halloween visitors were scary. Some were graceful and beautiful. Even if they are only six years old.
M8, Nocti F1.0:
Yep glow is good
Here's one from yesterday, my better half with M8 and, ummm a new lens that you all told me I shouldn't have bought.............
Regards
Mike
Mike: Nice photo of your "better half"! And, she's still smiling. Congratulations on the new lens(es?) Cheers, MattOk. I'll come clean. They are not actually mine yet, but I'm testing 35 and 50mm Summicrons, both used, chrome and in excellent condition - serial nos. from around 1994-1996. 35 is asph.
This will mean trading in my CV Nokton and Ultron which cover the same focal lengths. I'm keeping the CV 25 and 75.
Yesterday was first chance to try them, and I don't have long to make my decision, so hoping for good weather
First impressions? Build quality is unbelievable. You will all know this of course, but never having held a Leica lens it came as quite a shock when the first one got passed across the counter. Being chrome will account for some of that, but still....impressive build.
Both lenses seem to focus really well on my M8, although the concave tab on the 35 will take a little getting used to.
Too early to report on any negatives, but ( I think) I can see the effect of the slower 50mm vs the Nokton 50 f1.5, in terms of slightly less separation of subject to background, if that makes sense. I was expecting that anyway so no big deal, but something like the Nokton f1.1 might be a nice supplement in the future....when I get my wallet back from intensive care

Woody, your shots are always so sharp! I would have believed you if you said it was handheld.:ROTFL:Friday's post/ M9 + 90mm elmarit. 2 frames stitched. Obviously not hand held.
A cat on the chair would have been the icing on the cake
Mike

Beautiful, Kurt.M9 and 75lux.
Wonderfully seen and processed, Lloyd!Not all our Halloween visitors were scary. Some were graceful and beautiful. Even if they are only six years old.
