Several people have asked for some idea of the scores for the shots, so here are the top ten

 

As I say, if anyone wants the full spreadsheet, just drop me a line

Excellent Andy

 

Thank you - Of course my motives for asking will seem terribly flawed . But I really wanted to see how well some others had done - notably Jana for her wonderful 'Android' shot.

 

I think it's great to see who nearly made it, a real encouragement to try harder next year!

 

The lesson I've learned is to visit the place you plan to shoot - I didn't - we got there (after a long walk), and I realised that I should have opted for a wide angle lens.

Carl,

 

Was your Summaron the beautiful f/2.8 from Photographica and therefore 'sight unseen' before the Challenge? If so, even more kudos to you for using an unknown lens on a film camera for the Challenge.

 

Pete.

[andybarton]

I did too. I used a 54 collapsible Summicron bought from there that morning.

 

Doesn't give as good results as Carl's lens, by the looks of it

Pete.

 

Thanks Pete, yes it was the brand new old lens I used. I must admit I did check it on the M8 before using it for the challenge.

 

 

Cheers,

Carl

You are braver than me Andy.

 

I'm really impressed with the Summaron. I'd say it is the best price/performance of any of the glass I have. I'm really looking forward to using it more on film.

 

Cheers,

Carl

[andybarton]

I've always said its a fabulous lens and you've got a very nice example.

[farnz]

Well done, Mr Barton, I didn't know that Eric had snared you too.

 

Quite a lucrative Challenge for Photographica by the sound of it if you include two mint screw mount Leicas with red scale Elmars. Any others that I've missed?

 

Pete.

Some people can raise up to a challenge indeed!

Congratulations to Pete, Carl and Carsten. Hope this will encourage others to join us in Wetzlar next year.

Hi There

I only escaped by minutes . . we arrived just as they were locking up - I'm not sure whether it was a fortunate escape . . . or something to regret! Looking through the bars in the window there seemed to be lots of shiny temptations.

 

all the best

Jono, the disease is ongoing. Just this morning I have committed to a Leica 111f with 50/2.0 Summitar. See thread in collectible and Historica. I am history!

[andybarton]

The nice people at AICR have asked me (via Twitter) to thank Pete for his generosity. I told hem that all Leica users are like that.

 

I hope that's true

[farnz]

As far as I know they are. (If slightly less inclined to unwittingly become the subjects of photos.)

 

Pete.

[robnath]

Well done to all the entrants...but especially to Pete, Carsten and Carl for their winners...

Hallo,

Look here: Interesting Leica gear

[bill]

Well, a tremendous challenge, and a very worthy winner, with exceptional runners-up. This competition goes from strength to strength but it never, ever gets any easier! Pete, that was a very magnanimous gesture - thank you so much.

 

Regards.
