euston Posted November 7, 2009 Share #21 Posted November 7, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Thanks for a most interesting article. I notice you used black and white JPEG plus DNG for several of the shots. The results look good. I shall give it a try. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

carstenw Posted November 7, 2009 Share #24 Posted November 7, 2009 Really nice page, Thorsten. I looked also at some others, and they are equally attractive. When are you in Berlin? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overgaard Posted November 7, 2009 Author Share #25 Posted November 7, 2009 Really nice page, Thorsten. I looked also at some others, and they are equally attractive. When are you in Berlin? It's most likely that the date for the seminar in Berlin will be March 2010 because we discussed it and some brought up an element I hadn't thought about: The weather. Most likely the seminar in Berlin (and LA and NY) will be one evening followed by half a day or a full day of shooting in Berlin, then finished with an evening seminar few days later. There will be homework/assignments which can be done on the shooting day or any other time till next seminar. I guess we'll raid a Leica store as well, as we did in London I'm keeping a mailing list of those who have expressed interest and will mail dates to all in a matter of weeks. I have you on the list and will also mail you if I come to Berlin before then. I love that city so I might. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_R Posted November 7, 2009 Share #27 Posted November 7, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Thorsten, I have enjoyed your site very much, it is one of my favorites. You have a great eye (and a great camera:)). I am jealous of both. Thanks again. Cheers Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overgaard Posted November 9, 2009 Author Share #30 Posted November 9, 2009 50mm summicron is always sweet.. want 50 as 50.. aahhhh bw images are nice There's many nice lenses - too many. 50/2, 50/1.4, 50/1.4 ASPH, 50/1.0, 50/0.95 ... each of them is a jewel. What I really need in my life is a local Leica Library where I can go and pick up lenses and play with them. I don't like owning a lot of lenses, it tends to make life complicated.

manic Posted November 10, 2009 Share #31 Posted November 10, 2009 As the others said, great article! It was your site that tipped the scale for me towards Leica, I think you should demand your commission next time you are in Solms. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
skimmel Posted November 10, 2009 Share #32 Posted November 10, 2009 I think the kit I will be going with is new 24/1.4, 50/1.4 and 75/2 but then keeping 21/3.4, 50/2 and 35/2. Might even get a new 35/2 ASPH as well though I think I'll be using the 50/1.4 the most. Ah, it's very confusing to try to know in advance. The right step might be one at the time, starting with one lens, the 24/1.4 ... or the 21/1.4 ... which is exactly where I'm at ...21 or 24. First, love your site. Both the photography and your approach to your writing. I find that your writing on shooting with the M9 strikes the perfect balance between technical and philosophical . Second, in terms of the 21 vs 24 Luxes: I've only seen images on the web but it seems to me that the 21 draws differently (angle aside) and in much a way that I like. Do you feel that there is a difference and, if so, how would you describe it? Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are both super lenses, and the decision should be made on the use you want to make of them. I bought the 24 because it is more of an everyday lens.

swamiji Posted November 10, 2009 Share #39 Posted November 10, 2009 That's a lot of cents! Thanks. That's a lot of sense! It's my everyday lens, and it's worth every penny. It is, that good! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mauribix Posted November 11, 2009 Share #40 Posted November 11, 2009 I don't like owning a lot of lenses, it tends to make life complicated. Thorsten, that's exactly my POV. I owned many lenses till now, But I'm often a 1-2 or maximum 3 lenses man. I'm stuck in the middle of some 50s as I like the 50 2.8, the 50lux(asph and pre asph) and that lovely Noctilux (when I can handle it). Anyway, the reading was such a pleasure that I sent the link to some friends of mine who really need to read that! (they're not Leica users FWIW). You made me think about them when you talked about "the camera that you really love"... I'm sure your point will help them wondering some... I'll give you a feedback. BTW, by now, thanks a lot for that article. Really well done, with such passion and experience by your side. But that's not a news! Maurizio Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
