I picked up two new lenses, rare for me. I tend to use older lenses.
But, I also like "fast". I replaced the Canon 50/1.2 with a Voigtlander Nokton 50/1.1. I optimized it myself for use on the Leica M8, built up the RF Cam by 0.05mm. There is a difference between film and digital at these large apertures. F1.5- you are generally Okay. F1.2 and faster, not uncommon.
Images are here, shot at F1.1 and F4.

Next up will be the Nokton 35/1.2. Also optimized by building up the RF cam by 0.05mm. Again, difference between film and digital.
