  1. Another from Leadenhall Market, London CL, Zeiss 1.4/35
  2. Shadowman M240, CV 1.4/35: Plus grain, mono conversion plus hand tinting
  3. I have both the SL601 and the S1R and agree that whilst there are colour differences they both produce great results, the S1R probably having slightly more punch even on the 'Camera Natural' setting; or maybe it is just that the Leica is more subtle. Apart from my 'M' lenses I have the V/Elmarit 24-90 and the Lumix S 70-200 f2.8 both of which perform brilliantly on each camera. The 'M' lenses tend to be used on the SL and are great, but then I'm not a pixel peeper. I bought the S1R rather than exchange the SL for the SL2 because I much prefer the interface and was sad to see Leica drop it, neither do I need the extra pixels for much or my photography. Stuart is right about the build quality. The S1R is tank-like ( but to my mind cluttered ), yet the SL still feels better made and more sophisticated. The Leica menu is much easier to navigate whereas the Lumix just has too many options, most of which I will never use. I enjoy using them both but if one had to go it would be the Lumix.
  4. Reflective Body Aluminium bodied Jaguar - British Motor Museum: M240, CV 1.4/35
  5. Aliens are amongst us! Canary Wharf London: M240 CV 1.4/35
  6. Nope. Chalk and cheese in my book. I have both a CL and SL601 that are used for entirely different purposes (neither for video). The CL is my stealth 'street' and holiday camera used mostly with small M glass via an adaptor, and can be carried in a pouch. The SL is used for most other purposes together with the 24-90 Elmarit SL and Lumix 70-200/2.8. Hardy discreet and requires a decent bag to lug it around. Both produce excellent images. I won't be changing my SL for the SL2 either as I would miss the wonderful multi-purpose 'S' style buttons around the screen and video just doesn't interest me. Nevertheless it is good to see Leica extending the range of beautiful cameras in their range.
  7. I have read that the recommended coding for the CV 21 f4 is 011000 which if setting manually is the same as the Elmarit-M 21mm f2.8 ASPH. See lens reference and code below. You might try the same for the f3.5 Elmarit-M 21mm f/2.8 ASPH 11135 11897 011000
  8. My in-laws used to live in Cricklade and my Sister-in-law and family lived in The Priory just around the bend at the bottom of the main street in your photograph. I have many happy memories of Saturday night pub - crawls with my Father-in-law, down the left hand side of the street and back up the other to finish at the White Hart to meet our wives. I seem to remember there would have been about seven pubs in your picture in those days before the by-pass was built.
