The best price-performance ratio of all Leica M lenses has the Elmar-M 50mm. It's not a modern lens in my view, but if you want it a bit older I would recomand the Summicron 50 iv with the separate hood.

This set I always have with me when I want to go light and small, with the Elmar-M 50mm. Very good for street because more inconspicuous

My first thought was: of course the Summicron 35 iv or APO and my Summilux 75. But on second thought I realized that it really depends on the type of city and what I want from it and what it has to offer. I would not go without my Elmarit 24 to Valencia and the works of Calatrava, which is something else as Turin or Venice. I do like your series though made with very small amounts of equipment, it seems it doesn't matter what you bring, you'll come back with a nice series anyway. One of my first photo trips was New York, with a Praktica with only a 50mm borrowed from a friend. I worried about how I would get a good impression of NYC without any wide angle. When I came home I was very happy with the results. Your eyes and brain will also see scenes you wouldn't have seen when you had brought the lens that you left at home this time.

including the decisive moment in the pause 😄

I would not leave the S for an SL which still remains an SL, even the third. The only thing you get more is digital über-sharpness. More pixels on a relatively small sensor gives not necessarily a nicer image. That's just my opinion and the way I see the images here on LUF. E.g. the M11M images are less nice in my view than those from the M9M. But, as suggested above, which instrument is the best for which work? The S is not the best choice for sports or wildlife.

I often carry the 35 / 75 duo and I can add that I made one of my best photo's (of a geisha) in Kyoto with my Summilux 75. The 75 Nocti won't disappoint you even less.

Can't agree more, I'am also working with these two (just the M10-R instead).

so don't do it. Besides, the word titanium suggests much more than it is, the titanium isn't that lightweight. At least that was my deception when I had it in my hands. I take it that it's a used version and if the rangefinder has to be re-adjusted the waiting list will be around a year. That will be different with a new M6.

The architecture looks more German to me, well as the text TOR

I saw this broken but still very useable handle with her mirror during our dinner. M10-R with APO35mm in close-up mode.

I'm working on a project of wet printing 35mm negatives on 11x14" Rollei 111 fibre based variable grade paper developed in Moersch's Eco 4812. Although I now work on 6 prints only for on the walls at home, the final goal is a book based on a great deal of original AAA prints. I bought a new liter Eco 4812 for that but tried out first a bottle from 2019 which I had poured into a brown glass bottle which I had vacuumed with Vacuvin, a device known in my country to keep wine fresh. To my surprise this developer worked as new, whereas it was 1 or 2 years beyond the expiration date defined by Moersch. So that's good news number one and a compliment for Wolfgang Moersch, who earns an elevation to nobility. The second good news is that my negatives turned out to be very stable over the last 5 years, including different brands but mostly Delta100, Rollei Infrared and Adox 100 CHS ii. All these films were developed in times following The Massive Dev Chart, plus 15% because I use the Heiland Splitgrade head with leds which asks for rather hard negatives compared to the traditional condenser heads. With all these negatives the Splitgrade comes up with mostly the same grade and exposure times, which implies very few corrections and test strips. This is good news number two with a compliment for The Massive Dev Chart and a bit for me too 😃.

Several handles to carry a Billingham.

Und mit oder ohne Drone?
