I shoot 30+ years and recent few years gone serious in photography. I am a Leica noob, I've been using M for only 1+ year (since last March) and I've finally got the focusing issue fixed, and now I can see the IQ at different distant, lighting, aperture, etc... I own 4 Leica lenses on MP240 and I shoot wide open most of the time unless over exposure, shooting product, studio or shooting landscape. My work are mostly portrait & headshot. Here are my observations when shooting wide open. 1) 24mm lux, IQ is fine when uncropped, however, if I start to crop, then detail and contrast are badly diminishing as going further and further. 2) 35mm lux last version I think it's V3?, same as 24 but better. 3) 50mm lux, I cannot complain. I wish all my Leica lenses perform like this. It's sharp, high contrast and I can crop and crop and still good. 4) 90mm cron, as sharp as 50mm lux but must lower contrast in comparison. However, it's fixable using LR. My question.... I might have wrong expectations because I kind of using the 50mm lux as standard and expecting other lenses perform similar. I know wide angle lenses can't go as sharp but I was expecting better because it's price tag. Anyway, are my observations true or something is wrong with these lenses (or something wrong with my brain lol)? I wish to hear your thoughts if your shooting style is similar and owning similar lenses. Thank you.

Bad weather I like. Well, for photography that is... It can make an otherwise dull place that little bit more interesting. My home town is decidedly dull. Even duller on a rainy day. But I managed to get three shots that was worthwhile. This one of them, hope you like it! (M9 with an old 35mm Summicron)

Hi everyone, I have Summicron M 50mm version V and I use it with my M6 classic. Summicron M 50mm seems to be a tricky lens.From one side it performs well giving very nice result, but in some areas when the weather is cloudy I got images which lack of contrast which I dislike. I have Contax G2 with Zeiss 45mm and Nikon FM3a with Zeiss 50mm and both gives more contrasty images. what is your opinion if you use this lens with film camera? Any advices?
