Lovely walk.
The M-D + Hektor 135mm work very well. Amazing to see how sharp and beautiful the photos out of this 57 year old lens can be. I'll post a few tomorrow, too tired to see clearly now.
The M-D is my favorite digital Leica M. No question. There's something about it that is "just right" for me.

Was it named the M-D because only Medical Doctors could afford it? Only teasing. Clearly this is not the case.Lovely walk.

Its a dam good idea to limit a photo walk to one lens, takes a tad of image making courage to choose a fairly long tele, but great choice. I miss my old Zuiko 135 f3.5, I dropped it many years ago... sniff.
I'm with Pegelli on the pics. :watch:

Thanks Godfrey, interesting images of "extracts" of the environment. The long lens allowed you to concentrate on some essential lines and shapes :thumbup:
Rendering/processing is also very fitting for such an old lens.
You probably motivated me to bring out my 1956 Elmar 90/4 and take that for a similar spin (but not not on a digital Leica unfortunately)

I'm glad you enjoyed them!
The Hektor produces some lovely color as well. I didn't want to mix the set, I might post a few rendered in color later on.
Focusing a 135mm lens with a rangefinder is tricky, particularly as light levels drop. I think the next time I go out with it, I'll fit the 1.25x magnifier on the eyepiece.
