Fun with the Leica M Monochrom

MM + Luxochron. Luxochrom = 50mm Summichron Asph. Note how well it holds contrast in heavy backlighting - the sun is 10 degrees or so out of the frame here. The stuff on the web about this lens having a flair problem is crap - it actually performs marvelously in back lit situations.

MM + Luxochron. I'm shooting almost exclusively with this combination now. Makes a very compact travel kit. Medium orange filter lets me shoot wide open in daylight. Most shots at f 2.0 (this one is actually f 8.0, my other most used f-stop). I stitch when I want wide.

Hot damn, Woody! You may make me spend my money!
That Luxochron (already in my list) gets pushed further up!
