Hi all 

 

here is a link to some picture taken with the Apo-Summicron-SL f2.0/50mm ASPH. and Leica SL https://flic.kr/s/aHsmJ3BkHB 

Even if some people find new lens design "clean" and less "classic", I love the resultats. But all this is very personal. 

Enjoy

The detail makes me want to buy that lens. However, I’m really concerned about the weight of carrying it around all day..

It does not make your photos better or worse, but I have a strange feeling, when I hear/read your description of Gropius. In the last few years it was found out, that he was not so much an architect, but a teller of stories. He used the architectural work of others (coworkers, students etc.) to show himself in a good light. And he did not really found the Bauhaus, but joined an existing group, and installed himself as chairman and since then was “the leading architect”. But he had mainly a talent for organization, not for architecture. (And for promoting his ideas of art.)

Well, it’s maybe not important, but anyway ...      

(It is as if Paul Klee had hired somebody else to paint his paintings/watercolors.  Really unthinkable. )

Even in the Wiki It is written that Gropius was not able to draw, but that he needed coworkers/ assistants during his whole career. And in school he hired an assistant to do his homework ....  How would you call that in today’s school system ?

That is one of two old-style, manual leather strap latches which help secure the rear section of the Huayra to keep it from lifting at high speed. Personally, I doubt very much that these straps serve any functional purpose, but the kind of folks who spend US $ 2.6 million on such a conveyance demand and expect that the car tells the world all about their wealth and imagined importance, and Pagani is a master of catering to this type of clientele.....witness the Italian colors on the front-fender mounted mirrors for example, etc. etc.

The attached image shows the entire car, with the latch in question just behind the passenger seat at the top of the bulkhead ' doorjamb seperating the cockpit from the engine compartment. The other portion, i.e. the leather straps, can be seen hanging from the raised rear section.

Dear Rezinator,

With all respect, I recently turned 80, have a pacemaker ( made in Germany, of course ) in my chest, am otherwise in reasonably good shape and have wandered & hiked the world with my SL and all three SL Vario zooms since they were introduced...........with no discernible ill effect whatsoever. That's not bragging, nor is it one-upmanship, and I certainly don't mean to imply I'm some deranged macho masochist, it's just stating current facts of my health and condition.

Yes, it is a relatively heavy outfit, but I have proven to myself to my total and complete satisfaction that every alternative solution involves sacrificing image quality and capabilities.

I find the SL Vario lenses lenses to be the absolute equal and in many cases to be superior to any M lenses, and having the ability to zoom to adjust the image to the precise coverage I want, combined with the superb EVF / auto-focus of the SL lenses I have adopted a 'routine' that to me makes the effort of carrying & living with the extra weight of the SL and its lenses eminently worthwhile. Nota bene, I don't carry the entire outfit all the time - many a day I'll just have one (or tw) Vario lenses with me and accomplish everything I came to do..

I simply don't see the point of buying & owning a 601 SL body and then limiting yourself to not using all the features and capabilities it offers for the sake of a few ounces. Last year I stopped using my M lenses with adaptors on the SL and only use them with the M240-P when I deem that comination better suited for what I want to shoot.

John,

I appreciate you writing this and your opinion.  I’m currently only using m lenses and the sigma 45/2.8. I’ll probably rent the 24-90 first before I commit to purchasing. I know what you mean regarding not utilizing the full capabilities of the SL with m glass. 
 

Thank you.

Here is a second one. This was a stacking of three milkyway shots and one for ground. This and the one above were taken with an SL and a Voigtländer 21 1.8. For some reason I could only load this in a very small size.

Interesting - didn't know that.  But I know a number of senior architects who are no longer actively designing but still make their impact felt - and the people working under them can't achieve what they do without the older guys's inputs.  I should add that I am also now old, but still actively engaged with my team 😉 and perhaps more than I want to be - I'm trying hard not to be a control freak.  Enough digression from the topic though.
