Fun with the Leica M Monochrom

Saturday was a very dull day weather-wise but at least the late afternoon was dry, so I ventured out with M10M and newly arrived 90mm Summarit-M f2.4.

Full speed ahead to London!



Social distancing / permitted walk / catching up on gossip



Enchroaching on the countryside

I hope you are happy with the Summarit. I had two of them (50 & 75) and they were fine lenses. It is a shame Leica quit production of these lenses. I think their quality was too close to the others of the same focal length for quite a lot less in do-re-me. See Sean Reid comparisons.

Thanks. All looks good so far. I have had a 75mm f2.5 since 2011 and although it does not see a lot of use, when I do use it the results never fail to please.

I came across her in an open field. A very soft-spoken farm girl picking potatoes before winter sets in.

I was out roaming the country side of Ireland and stumbled across her. Being just a poor peasant girl she barely had any clothes on, was dragging a sack of potatoes and obviously needed some help from a gentleman like me. It looks like I will now be eating potatoes for a very long time.

Peasants here in Ireland? Really?
Ireland is now a rich country, a transformation in the last few decades.

I should have added; it's a charming image of a colleen or cailín.

As the photos (all the above!) clearly show, the M10 Monochrom is certainly on my list of desirable cameras!:)

Thank you all for sharing in this new Covid-19 world in which we exist. There has to be good news somewhere! And I believe you guys have found a bit of joy.:thumbup:

If this review has been mentioned before, my apology. I happened upon it and thought it was interesting:

So far 50mm-wise I have used either my Summilux-M ASPH or ZM C-Sonnar. *Decided to put my elderly 5cm Summicron Collapsible LTM on the M10M this afternoon and go for a short local walk. Some results (with orange filter):-

A substantial crop from a wide-open (f2) 'grab' shot - M10M, 5cm Summicron Collapsible LTM. Pleasantly surprised at what a 1955 lens can achieve when mated with a 41MP sensor!
