Leica My Leica Kit - Joining The "Cult"

[JayOC]

I have two Leica kits. My first was the CL with the 18-56 as part of the kit. I then got the 11-23. Both are great lenses. The kit came with the L to M adapter. I couldn’t see having the adapter if I didn’t have an M mount lens. So I got the Voigtlander Classic 35 Nokton MC as it received good reviews and was reasonably priced. Later last year, I came into a windfall and got the Elmarit 24. It was in very good condition and was complete in the box. That got me thinking, as I will probably be retiring at the end of the year and I already have 2 M mount lenses, it is only logical that I have an M mount body. My local camera store had gotten a refurbished M10-R from Leica with a 1 year warranty. The price was too good to pass up. GAS is starting to kicking again. I may have to start considering thr50 APO Lanthar or a 50 Cron. My son picked up a 50 Cron Rigid that produces food results. His copy is a year younger than me. I may need to look for one of those.

My Leica M3 DS was made the same month that I was. Got it with the Rigid Summicron- Leica's first lens formulated with the use of a Computer.

Good stuff! Any manual corrections on distortion and vignetting at play here?

M.

Slight perspective corrections. Then Just exposure, contrast, clarity and then a run through topaz photo ai to sharpen and denoise.

Most are not cropped either and shot at f/5.6.

I believe the lighting and subject matter hid the vignetting well.
