Nice colours. The storm hasn't hit yet and we usually get some of the worst of it down here, had some crazy big waves and high winds earlier in the year. It was a really lovely warm day yesterday.

I own an M8 but its pretty clear where the company is going with the Boutiques, the T system, the waiting lists and drip drip supply. Its straight out of the swiss watch industry text book. Its funny actually over on another forum there was a big hoohah about my local dealer going out of...

Its my favourite wide angle focal length by far, I have CV 21, CV 25 and the 28 Elmarit ASPH but the 25 has pretty much taken over due to my love for this focal lengths characteristics. I bought a second hand Leica 24mm viewfinder for 2/5 of what the current one costs new. The one I have looks...

Bill I have pretty much decided that Leica = film M and a handful of lenses for me. If I buy another digital camera in the future it most certainly will not be a Leica, regardless of this latest 'incident' they are fast becoming just like Rolex a luxury goods company trading on past glories but...

Well they are going to get sued by Leica as sure as night follows day for making this claim they way they have, and sorry but it sounds and feels like an extremely amateur operation for them to go about things in this way. If they had a detailed NDA signed up with Leica before they had...

Yeah I agree with that, I ended up with 3, Planar/Sonnar/Elmar-M but really can't afford to have 3. The Elmar-M is my current favourite. Its really great to have such a wide array of choices.

Oh its really simple for me. I like the rangefinder experience, a lot. Especially with a 50 mounted on my M7 0.85 I feel more connected photographically to the world around me than with any other camera I have used. I would like to invent all kinds of other reasons but really it just boils down...

Thanks Duane, I decided sometime ago that if I was going to continue with digital I would have to use a colour checker. Your images really highlight just how important it is to get the colour right.

Ken R was right though, for portraiture you get nice smooth out of focus areas and tight head and shoulder shoots with lenses like this one not super fast 50s or short teles. I agree she makes me smile, who couldn't at such a cute little girl :D

It does and I really dig that outcome, nice one Kookie.

I like them a lot but feel they would work better if there was slightly more separation from the surroundings either in terms of light levels or sharpness, this would make the aircraft really pop.

Just to add a note I spent some time pixel peeping a lot of my images the past couple of days to help decide where I want to go next with my lenses. What I see from this lens is a really lovely bokeh and gentle rendition wide open, fine details are there in digital, on film it is a bit more...

Sorry I forgot to add its the east end of Weymouth bay on the south coast of England. It comprises of a number of small areas mostly residential except for Bowleaze and the two Haven campsites (Haven is a UK holiday camp company chain). It looks very different in vivid colour with all the...
