Went up the coast yesterday - it was a gloomy day with fog and overcast all day so not great for picture taking.

I did get a few shots that I liked.

"Innocence" - M9 + Zeiss 25mm f2.8 Biogon:


"Gone Fishing" - M9 + 35mm cron:


"Cows Gazing" - M9 + 35mm cron:


Lastly - not sure which version of these I like best -color or b&w.
"Pigeon Point Lighthouse" - M9 + 35mm cron:




Thanks for looking.
 
Joe, great set! # 1 for me!
Thanks Steve - #1 is definitely the strong one in this set - the rest were my "tourist snaps" for the day ;-)

I love the range of tones the M9 produces in b&w - it's easily become my favorite camera for b&w's (D700 is now a close second ;)).

Cheers,

Wanted to share some more from the 90 Elmarit-M which I took for a proper spin today. I have to say I'm absolutely delighted with this lens. Sharp, lovely OOF rendering and handles really nicely.
Today's theme is hats :) All wide open on the M8.





And this is what happens if you don't wear one:
Regards
Mike
Mike: These two are my favorites. Nice dynamics and generational shift. :thumbs:

Cheers, Matt

A couple of street shots from Santa Cruz today.
One b&w - 50mm lux.
This guy was giving away "free empathy" ;-)



One in color - 50mm lux.

Joe: Cool series of photos. The first one's composition and IQ are teriffic. I like the color one with the rust stains. :thumbup:

Leica M8, 1955 KMZ Jupiter-3, at F4;



Leica M9, ~1938 Carl Zeiss Jena 5cm F1.5 Sonnar "T", at F4:

and at F1.5:
The latter lens is a very early coated optic, converted to Leica mount using a J-3 focus mount.
Brian: These are great! Wonderful to see those classic lenses used. Excellent compositions and IQ. I'm going to have to check out the earlier thread. :salute:

Cheers, Matt
