I don’t go for the spiced stuff but my favorite, not being able to get Black Tot, is El Dorado 8 year. I drink this stuff straight. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can still remember leaning out of the back of Bill's pickup truck when I was 15 vomiting over the side into the darkness . . . . . . . never really been able to drink rum since then! 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith (M) Posted May 21, 2021 Share #344 Posted May 21, 2021 Rum! Last time I drank that was courtesy of the Royal Navy and where I learned about "sippers" and "gulpers". Navy Rum - powerful stuff. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted May 21, 2021 Share #345 Posted May 21, 2021 My favourite is either Doorly's XO (used to be owned by my brother-in-law in Barbardos before they sold to Bacardi) or Damoiseau 5 year old Guadeloupe rum. My brother-in-law arranged for my kids to be shown round the Malibu (revolting stuff with lime flavoured coconut milk in it) rum plant in Bridgetown and as a couple of them were under 18, I had to accompany as a responsible adult. I asked the plant manager who was showing us round the blending plant room: "How long do you mature the rum before adding it to the other ingredients?" He pointed to a pipe and said: "You see the pipe there that goes up the wall and over the ceiling, then down to the blending machine. That comes straight out of the still, so the rum is matured for about 5 minutes. Given how nasty it tastes, I am surprised it is that long.

alexreiterer Posted May 22, 2021 Share #346 Posted May 22, 2021 I would be very interested to see pictures comparing the Summilux-M 35 mm ASPH. FLE and the new APO. I would be interested in a comparison of the bokeh at f/2.0. Can any of you make such a comparison? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 22, 2021 Share #348 Posted May 22, 2021 (edited) Once a year I ought to post a photo on the forum 🤔 Thanks to you guys on this thread (except Jono of cause) I feel good again. (No misunderstandings: Jono makes everybody feel good !) I‘ll continue to be rewarded only with a bottle or a pint, or mostly with homemade cookies for my humble photos.

MrFriendly Posted May 23, 2021 Share #354 Posted May 23, 2021 Last night I noticed that Leica US online store had a copy. I fell sleep and woke up six hours later, thinking to myself "it must be gone by now", but it was still there, so I grabbed it. I almost feel bad for those who are in a year long waiting list. They also have a copy of the Noctilux 1.2. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry.... The lens has been mounted on a SL not on a M. Forthermore the comparison is f/1.4 vs f/2.0 and not f/2.0 on both lenses. This is not really an objective view. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forthermore the comparison is f/1.4 vs f/2.0 and not f/2.0 on both lenses. This is not really an objective view. Bokeh is normally compared at full aperture for each lens. It would make little to no difference that an SL was used rather than an M, as the 27.80mm flange focal distance would apply to both cameras, once the M to L adapter is taken into account. Bokeh is lens not camera dependant. Wilson 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
