For real?! Nikon has that?

So dunking on Thorsten’s e-commerce is easy. He has a person handling it and apparently they are not doing a good job. The products are good — I have a red strap for my M9-P and it’s beautiful. Thorsten is doing a fantastic job with his site and workshops. A one-man business has to sell itself and it’s tough, nothing wrong with that. Just a pity that shipping and handling is damaging it when it would have been easy to fix. I enjoy Thorsten’s writing and photography, he’s a real deal. Let’s not overlook the art behind all those accessories.

What does an unsharp lens have to do with it if other lenses are sharp?

I'd not sell the 35 Lux and I almost got the SR but folks said the Titanium renders better/closer to the original so there's that.:)

The M11P and 35 APO seem made for each other. My most used combo now.

My Edition 60 is one of the best Leicas ever, and the M246 Monochrom is the only rangefinder in the world making Black and White videos. Their batteries last forever. Fun times!

Leica lenses are not the ones that are individually calibrated for rangefinder. So it’s either all will be unsharp or none (within expected sharpness), right?

Great advice @hdmesa!

So, given Lux is sharper and faster, what would be the point of getting this one if you have the Lux already? Close focus? Size?

What do folks here do to remember which non-Leica lenses they used to take photos? Do you pick a similar focal distance/speed lens from the menu? Do folks 6-bit code their Voigtlander and Zeiss lenses?

C’mon, picturing your Leica next to a latte is the ultimate state of leicmanship’

You can leave the cap on!:)

I read that the OOF background is busy on Ultron, is that true?

Ah! I thought they have to send them on to Wetzlar, which has horrific wait times for more than half a year according to other threads and @Al Brown. If 6-bit coding is done in NJ that’s great news! However I wonder whether sending an old lens would warrant a CLA, and that would probably entail going to Wetzlar anyways?…

As usual, B&H reverted from “shipping November 30” to “coming soon”… Let’s see when is that.
