I think it was Liverpool that Lime had to retire hurt as many of the local yobs had tried to see if they could ride the e-Bikes on a canal or the harbour. People in NZ are obviously far better behaved.

Not sure I'd agree Wilson, my wife works in ED at the local hospital, she tells many horror stories of the results of stupidity, alcohol, and e-scooters. Darwin had a theory on this however. I'm sure we are no different. Likely worse.

Did Darwin study NewZealanders too?

Elmarit R 15mm on APS-C camera, focal length 22mm eq., minimal distance; OOC

gbealnz, thanks for the likes. The bokeh in the flower picture is great, isn't it.

The landscape one is sharpened and the sky contrast increased, otherwise OOC.

In the archery picture the contrast is lowered; the place, where I was standing, was very dark. 

In general, this lens is not very crisp. It is from 2002. Also the lens booster does not do much harm.

It's a lens I have always wondered about and possibly even wanted, but I unfortunately have a Leicaflex SL, and it doesn't play with the likes of the 15mm, and also the 19mm, plus the 24mm. As a result I have normally gone for the lenses that fit and work with the SL.

I did wonder what APS-C you were using. I am back with a Leica T, so adapting is possible, but not really the best. R lenses are not that small/light, and when you add the adapter, well the whole thing gets unwieldy. An example is the T with the likes of the 35 Summicron R, as opposed the T with the 35 Summicron M, or CV35/1.4.

There is one at Ebay for 10.000 Euros, very good looking. I paid 3k last year, from France, a heavily used one.  

I use a Sony a6500. But I would not hesitate to use the Leica T. You carry the lens then and the camera is like a fly on its back. 

You could make the Leica T bigger with the Hoodman loupe on the LCD. Forum member dunk mentioned another loupe. 

Nice picture of the Narcissus, I use the Elpro VIb on the Summicron.

Ref my use of Zacuto optical finders on camera LCDs: Would not be practical on a Leica T series because 1) T screen is too wide for the Zacuto finder's mounting frame(s); 2) Zacuto finder's elastic securing cord would foul the T's control wheels; 3) Leica T has a 'touch screen' and any supplementary finder would need removal to reset the camera. 

The T plus Leica VISO 020 EVF is the answer. 

Jan, I'm finding your speed booster experiments very interesting ... and contemplating keeping rather than selling my Canon FD 50/1.2  L.

OK, the LCDs are getting larger and larger. The Hoodman does not fit on my Lytro Illum also, too small.

I really like the spirit of absence that I see. Unfortunately, the bottle in the foreground adds a further state of recent neglect. A greeting !!

Thank you Maurizibozzi! I found this cabin on the side of the road and couldn’t resist going inside to take a picture. Had to “walk” (lacking a better word for it) through 80cm of snow to get there down a steep slope. 😆 

Cheers!
