It was some time ago when I took this picture with the M9M. A flight with an old Junkers JU 52. Of course, a classic camera had to be used in an old aircraft. The instruments were imaged crystal clear by the monochrome sensor. I used the SCR 35 an SLX 50. Regards: www.otto-witte.de

Interesting article, thank you. But somehow I am reluctant to cut the lens. I have 5 thumbs on each hand, so to speak.

Thanks for the quick reply. I will order this filter. You have helped me a lot with it. I am glad that I do not have to put some huge setup in front of the lens

Do any of the 15mm Heliar III owners use a 58mm ND filter? I would like to do longtime exposures and am not so sure if the spherical front lens scratches certain filters. I have not been able to discover any images with filters screwed in on the net

Thank you. You're not making it any easier for me to make that decision.:-)

Hello, everyone. Thank you very much for the explanations. I have now received some advice. I think I will indeed take the 28 Summilux and the 50 APO with me. Also at the risk that it will be a little more bulky than a small combi. The 28 Elmarit would be an alternative, but I think I'll have some nice twilight situations where I can play with the background sharpness at 1.4. I leave the 15mm Voigtländer at home. Thanks again for your advices that supported me in my decision. I will post some pictures after my return.

Regarding the 50APO, I'm sure I'll take it with me by now. With 28Summilux I still have some problems. I have the hope that the light conditions are sufficient for the tiny 28EL. I still have a few days to plan. It's fun too. Thanks for the support

Thank you. Your suggestion is good and would limit the weight. I don't want to take a tele like the 90 or the 13 with me. A small Manfrotto tripod and ND - filter for the skyline. Good idea. At first I had flirted with the 28 Summilux. The image effect of 1.4 was tempting. But to carry 6 days this fat child, the 50 and maybe the 35mm, that seemed a bit crazy to me. Normally I am in the European cities only with the 35mm on the way. Thanks a lot. Your advice makes my decision easier

Thank you for the tips dugby, In fact, weight plays a role in the journey. I put the 28 Summilux, the 50 APO and the 15 Voigtländer into the Domke bag for a try. That's enough to put some pressure on my shoulder. And I don't want to leave the equipment in the hotel. Shoes and warm clothes are a completely different topic. There I wait for the weather forecast. But good footwear is a must and I am bald 😉

....and also has quite malignant edges

Thank you very much for the recommendations. I travel more often in Italian cities and try to be as inconspicuous as possible. Fortunately, my M10(P) doesn't have a red dot, but I'm sure I'll tape the lettering off. However, the Leica M is very stable and can also be used for self-defence. An important decision has already been made. The 50mm stays at home.

Thank you for the advice. I now know that the 50mm can stay at home. The M10 can also be used with 6400. Therefore I take the 35/2 with me in any case, instead of the 28 SLX. I throw the 28Elmarit or the small 15mm into my bag, if I need more space for the skyline or skyscrapers.
