Especially like this one.Met with Kuau (Steven) for some shooting at This Is The Place Heritage Park (which is a re-creation of a 19th Century town, with actors in period costumes.)
All taken with the M8 and CV 15/4.5 Superwide:
Thank you Frank. And great shots... I really like the perspective, and a very interesting subject. I love the results of the M9/50 Lux ASPH combination. Just about as perfect as it gets.Wonderful shots LLoyd! Especially the last one. I consider buying a super wide aswell...
Here 2 shots from Regensburg/Germany. M9 50mm Summilux
Cheers

Thank you Ton. Much appreciated.
I always posted from Flickr, and wondered the same thing. Here's the explanation I got from TRSmith, a member here:How do you all post your pics on here from smugmug. I am a newbie and for the life of me I cant figure out how best to post photos. I just recently posted some but they were much smaller than the ones other folks post. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Lol. We all feel your pain. I don't know of a cure... buy one, want more... and more... etc. That's the cycle... and it never seems to end. :banghead:Ok it's official ..... I have lens lust :banghead:
Today I get home and emails received from my usual sources offering chrome Leica 50mm F2, chrome Leica 35mm F2 asph, Nokton 35mm f1.2 and Nokton 50mm f1.1..............
I want them all .........
Ok, I know you don't really care, so a couple of images instead whilst I think about this......M8/CV35mm Ultron f1.7
Regards
Mike
This is very nice!!A bit different ..
Thank you Lloyd.Lol. We all feel your pain. I don't know of a cure... buy one, want more... and more... etc. That's the cycle... and it never seems to end. :banghead:
Not much help, I realize. I can tell you this, there is nothing wrong with the images you take with what you have now. These two are terrific. :clap::clap:
Looks to my old eyes like you do. But I understand, truly I do. I bought another lens just yesterday. A 90mm Leica Elmarit. Just had to have it... I mean 4 90mm M-mount lenses just isn't enough!! Right?Thank you Lloyd.
I guess I should be happy with what I have. From other people's sometimes negative comments, I think I must have good copies of my CV lenses.
Decisions, decisions..........

And I thought I had problems :ROTFL:A 90mm Leica Elmarit. Just had to have it... I mean 4 90mm M-mount lenses just isn't enough!! Right?
Wise words Ton.Most of the time, Mike, the problem is our own impatience or lust for (much) more: "If I had this or that lens or body, I would/could..."
The past 2,5 years I passed on every new or 2nd hand body and lens, knowing that I would know when the right moment to upgrade would arrive. It taught me a lot of patience and saved me a lot of energy and money. That I finally ended up with an M9 I could never ever have dreamed of.
Actually it's very simple: if you need it and have the money, go for it. If you dont need it and have the money: dont go for it. And if you need it and dont have the money: buy yourself a beer or two.:ROTFL:
Warmest,
Ton
P.S. If you would know my wish list...

Awoke this morning to 5 inches (~12.7 cm) of new snow. I'm blaming Kuau... he wished it here! :angry:Too early for me, thanks.
