I've only had the lens a few weeks (I swapped the Asph version for it - I had grown tired of the strong contrast on that lens) so I haven't grown familiar with its qualities yet! As so often I'd forgotten to set the lens detection and as I'd also been using my 21mm I wasn't 100% sure which it was. Pretty certain now that it was the 28 though. I'm very pleased with it - results are beautiful and I also find its handling better than the tiny Asph. It's version 4. Oh, and as my copy's cosmetics are a little scruffy I made a bit of money on the deal, which never hurts. 😀

That's been my favorite wide for a long, long time. I just got mine back from Leica NJ where they did a CLA and the lens functions like new.

It's a keeper I think; for 18 months I had virtually stopped using the 28 asph while I discovered the pleasures of the 35mm FL, but that's going to change now. 

Here's another pic from it, again with orange filter. On the original full-fat file you can count every brick on the tower - should you have nothing better to do. 🙂

MM1 + Summilux 35mm. I traded both for an MM2. Was regretting the Summilux. ....But now amazed by a SummaritR 35mm.

So, let me get this straight. You traded away a camera and lens combo that produced this? What were you thinking?

Downstairs, that's beautiful. What's the hook for?

The hook's for shifting bales of hay (or maybe  blocks of ice).

Short of cash.  The MMs were the only Leica gear I ever got unused.

While I'm at it. MM1+Cron-50mm-Apo.

Also shot, just to check, on TriX 8x10 and on a demo PhaseOne-Monochome. The Leica version just looks smoother. That saved  me from selling the farm to get the PhaseOne Mono.

It seems the MM1 likes rainy days more than I do. This is looking through the back window into the garden during a hard rain.

Please tell me that's from your files and not what it looks like now. It's too early for snow!

Out with friends the other night, and only had my M Monochrom mk1 and 1960 copy of the 35mm Summaron F2.8. Was past dusk, almost night when I snapped this row of flats. 2500 ISO, 2.8 on the lens, and 1/20th of a second, hand held. That Summaron is such a lovely little lens.

Nice to have the option of a brand new camera, 40,000 ISO, and a super fast lens, but sometimes it's fun to have more limited options, and the challenge of getting a result (as long as it's not for a client!)

I agree completely. I have a friend who keeps trying to sell me on the new Sony cameras which essentially turn photography into a point & shoot process. Twenty frames per second, autofocus that just about can't miss, super high res. For me, it's a lot more satisfying to have to put some effort into getting a good image and to be in total control of the process.
