Solar halo phenomenon plus UFO spotted via Summilux-M 24 mounted on M10-P.

I am lucky enough for spotted and captured a phenomenal 360° halo. 

And the bright UFO/UAP found aside from the circular solar halo has brought this picture to the next level and made it more unique, and share-worthy.

The Alan Schaller video got me interested in the 24mm Summilux but it was discontinued so I ended up with a 21mm Summilux. I still want to try the 24mm but am very happy with the 21mm.

Interestingly, all 24mm summilux are sold out at the Leica dealer nears me.  They had 4-5 of this lens stuck in the used inventory for years, as soon as it's discontinued they're slowly gone.  Are there people collecting it? 

“Stuck for years”

”Slowly gone”

Strikes me as a poor seller...

24mm 3.8. M10M 

with the M10M and high ISO a 1.4 is no longer required. And I prefer compactness.

 

this is in a wine storage area.

I disagree. The impact of a combination of shallow DOF and wideangle perspective cannot be replicated by a slower lens. See images in this thread. And yours is a good illustration of the opposite.

The 1.4 is not here for speed but for DOF, as latest Summilux batch chief optical designer Peter Karbe suggested several times openly - he wants us (lol) to stop down to regulate depth of field only.
