Seriously considering my first Leica lens at the moment .... a used but exc condition, later version Summicron 50mm in chrome. It will mean parting with the Nokton (and some cash
), losing a little speed, but realising a goal. Not sure that's sufficient justification - any thoughts?

Nice image Mike. As for your question. I have both a Summicron (circa 1967), and a Nokton (actually, I've had two Nokton's and regretted selling the first one, so I bought the second). I don't know what you're looking for getting the Cron; it is a wonderful lens, no doubt. Same goes for the Nokton, which has a little different character than the Cron.M8/CV50 f1.5

My take on the images you've posted is that there's absolutely nothing wrong with them, and they're proof that it's the photographer, and not the equipment that matters. I can't really suggest a course of action, but I have no doubt you'll continue to take amazing images with either lens.
ceh

Thank you Lloyd
To be honest it's nothing more than Leica lust....I think. Difficult to describe really, but I guess the closest I can get is to say that I'd like to see for myself what all this Leica lens fuss is about
That's really not a good enough reason is it .........:ROTFL:

Oh, believe me, I fully understand. I've been shooting Leica since 1968, and have owned all sorts (and brands) of lenses. I LOVE my Leica glass, and lust after a lot of the new Leica lenses as well. "The fuss", is on many counts, fully justified. But, as your wonderful images fully attest, Leica is not the only game in town. :thumbup:Thank you Lloyd

Ton, Excellent Contrast & IQ! Very Nicely Done!Handcarved wooden clown. Diminished the contrast a little bit. Unfortunately could not get rid of the harsh light, while shooting, on some parts of this shiny polished wooden guy.
In laughing memory
Warmest,
Ton

Nice one Carlos. I just got that program as well, but haven't tried it out yet. Is that a single exposure?
Simply beautiful work...I would hang this up in a heart beat.

Shiro/Steve/Charles/Lloyd/Ton: Thank you, Gentlemen!
In the first one it's fun to see what I look at 1st (his face), 2nd (reflected women with light on her face), 3rd (reflected women trying on clothes (?), & back again. Then you start looking at detail. Grain and contrast super.
In the second one, you see the hand and the reflector (?), and then discover the huddled women. Wonderfully composed.
I was reading a book by William Albert Allard (Lloyd tuned me on to him, recently) last night. He said that the best photographs raise, and leave you with, a question (paraphrased). Both of these do. :thumbs:
Cheers, Matt
