That’s ok, as the subject is Leica.

One item, lens or body needs to be Leica, but stating a photo wasn't made with anything at all by Leica doesn't circumvent the rule, that is cheating everybody else on the forum. Take up film photography, as far as I know 'I like film..' is the only truly open thread to post non-Leica images, and also one of the most popular.

Well, there is also 6x6 - der Thread on the German forum but in general you're correct about the rule.

I'd suggest that some (many?) of the pictures OF Leica cameras posted to this site were not taken with a Leica camera.  I'd not be surprised to be told that I've posted a few shots taken with my phone although I can't recall any specific instance where that was the case.

I have certainly been guilty of that. The pictures of my LTM collapsible Sumicron I posted to the Historica thread were taken with my iPhone.

I think this sentence from the forum rules deals with this: " Prerequisite for placing a photo is that it has been made with Leica equipment and/or has a strong relationship to a Leica subject.” I think this means that a photo of a Leica camera or lens or even of Wetzlar (for example) taken with you phone is allowed.

Just had a very quick play with a previously unprocessed photo (D-Lux 7) of Wareham, Dorset.  A sky mask applied then a new radial mask to the foreground.  Original & result below.  Remarkably quick and easy.

It’s entirely a matter of individual taste, but I prefer the unmasked version.
