No offense taken, Maurizio. I don't care either, having all the lenses I need.

 

We have almost 4 feet of new snow on the ground here in Baltimore (typical total for entire winter is about 2.5 feet)...so, I have more time inside to amuse myself.

 

Think I should go out now and find some interesting photos.

Actually, our usual is 18" per year, with the last two years being less than a foot. And another storm approaching late this next weekend.

 

The snow has certainly been interesting working with exposure- a great exercise for one getting back into rangefinder photography- with a 35 lux. With the apertures I had to work with, focus shift has not been an issue :D

Male habit...overestimating inches.

 

That just makes our season total so far, close to 80 inches, more impressive....already well past prior record of 62.5 inches...according to a reliable female source.

 

Hope you made some nice photos.

The post by Otto_Fosch containing the picutre was still here in this thread after Chris Weeks removed it. Now it also vanished...very curious.

 

The post is gone from this thread but the picture is still on the forum.

 

I deleted the posts by Otto_Fosch and the*emperor as they contained copyrighted material of Chris without his permission.

This is a severe violation of German (and most probably International) law.

 

Please do not publish images if you don't own the right to use.

I still think the 35 'lux was sneaked out back during the 9/9/9 preview video. Everyone was so focused on the M9 that the lens was overlooked. Check again. The hood arrangement - specifically the knurled ring for the hood on the preview is missing.

 

Check again from frame 58ish.

 

 

 

ps - sorry, I've got nothing better to do today. :o

It could be, ok, but as I used that kind of hood with the 35lux (and 28cron FWIW) for a while, which is a bit different from the "usual", and it's a Leica original spare parts, I still have some doubts.

 

let me show you my hood:
