Good to have you around here. :)

 

Long time ago, I had that little Minox, but I could never get any decent single shot with it. I sold it to get a lens for my Nikon gear. It was during the “film time” and I was a teenager! :)

Hi,

had a chance to grab the CL for a few minutes , took a couple of shots indoors and had a walk around the block  with  a couple of vintage lenses:

Best, Jean-Marc.

 

Wonderful image, Jean-Mark, many thanks for the sharing.  If I was lucky to catch it, most probably would trim the left side shelling off 5 figures left on the tree.

 

Best wishes to you!

Ari, if you mean something like this, I think I would agree with you! ;)

Sorry for the quick resize; I did not have time for the contrast. ;)

This shot was taken with focus tracking that may not be perfect for car or bike race; or flying birds; but I find it very helpful for street photography. As some discussions we recently had; if only the focus point could go back to center after each shot. It could certainly speed my shooting, more specially in some lights, I can not even see the focus point.

 

CL + 18-56

Interesting sign in front of a store in Sydney Australia. Taken with CL with 18-56 lens, seem to use it about 90% of the time when traveling.

I was downtown in San Jose for a walk and afternoon coffee yesterday, carrying the Leica CL fitted with the Elmarit-R 19mm f/2.8 v1 lens, testing this lovely old Walter Mandler design lens out on the new body, essentially. 

 
I made nine photos in my short walk around the neighborhood, mostly playing with shapes and spaces, objects and people:

The Elmarit-R 19mm f/2.8 v1 lens has a rather bulky front element, but proves to be reasonably easy to handle and work with on the CL body despite that. It focuses quite close and gives a field of view approximating that of a 28 to 30mm lens on a FF format camera on the CL's APS-C sensor. For this lens, I found myself using focus peaking and magnification quite often to obtain accurate focus. 
 
Perhaps the new TL18mm lens is a lot smaller, a lot lighter, and all that ... it would certainly be less to carry. But I like shooting with this old R lens quite a lot regardless. :)
 
enjoy!

A great set.

 

 

Thanks Louis! 

 

I had an interesting moment happen yesterday just after I took my last shot of the day and was turning to walk to my car. A guy walking past with his friend stopped and said, "Is that a Leica CL? And what lens is that on there? Very cool camera!" He and she smiled and continued on as I said thank you, etc.

 

It's pretty rare that someone notices and comments on me making photos with a Leica, never mind what kind of Leica it might be or that it isn't a standard lens I'm using. He must have been an arts or photography student at nearby San Jose State University.
