Eat your hearts out... :)

1/45s @f3.4, ISO 2500, handheld.
Estimated current price for each bottle, about 5x the price of a 50/0.95.

Jose,
What quinta are these from? Unfortunately, I don't think port from 1815 will actually be any good. It's not like Madeira.

Nice shot.

I'll have a case :ROTFL:
Lovely shot though - I hope they gave you a taste :)
Thanks, Jono. I live in Porto, and so going to the Port wine cellars is a short stroll for me... :) they make wonderful photographic themes, you must come here sometime. It´s a theme that I plan to explore appropriately, now that my 50/0.95 is on its way (you always set the most dangerous examples!).

Brad, these bottles are from "Ferreira", one of the best Port wine brands. I never tried this wine, of course, but I did try 100 years old vintage Port and it was superb, absolutely superb.

Maybe we can organize a Leica Forum meeting in porto, and I will supply - or find ways to supply - the Port?... :)

Jose, that sounds wonderful. I have been to Porto and the Duoro twice for a week each time and learned a great deal from my gracious hosts. I too have been lucky enough to enjoy port from 1900 and it was heaven. I'll try post a link to some of my photos. The cellar at Niepoort is something to behold!

Yes Brad, absolutely! By the way, if you consider a future trip to Porto, please let me know and I would be delighted to meet you or any other Leica forum members. And if you guys really behave... I may even get you a tour of the nearby Leica factory... :)

I'd love to go to Porto - I think that Jerez is about as close as I've been.
As for setting an example with the 50/0.95, I'd love to, but there are some things which might be a step to far (and that's one of them!).

Thanks, Jono. By the way, I absolutely fell in love with your M9 book. Sincere congratulations on an exceptional book with exceptional photographs that never cease to inspire me. Thanks.

I worked for Ferreira Wines in Lisbon during a couple of months and I sold many Port bottles but none of these. Hehe.

I'd prefer the 50/0.95 instead of the wine as I don't like it. (I think you'd say that this is a sin...) :D

I would never say that, Lazzaros... :) and I would prefer the lens too, by the way!

Thank you Jose, I'm most flattered. As for the port, a whole bottle would generate a terrible headache, so I'd settle for half a bottle, a noctilux and a 35mm lux into the bargain!

Brad,

You are confusing drinking port with buying and selling port (bragging rights included).
