    Excellent series and I favour the third if ever there was a need to state a preference. The installation shot is very special as we rarely see such shots.

    Look forward to your tutorial on printing. 😮

    The last photograph is the one that sold, twice now.
    Once in a B&W enlarged to 5 feet by 7.5 feet. and installed above a living room so the looking up is actually looking up. The photo is by the client just after installation before the lights were adjusted.

    If you have a non-6-bit coded lens and use manual lens selection in the menu, then change to a 6-bit coded lens but forget to set the lens selection setting back to auto, you will get the wrong lens data. I would prefer that if you are in manual mode and mount a 6-bit coded lens, the camera would either override your manual selection, or pop up an…[Read more]

    I forgot this was an M shot, so it was with the WATE set at 16mm.

    I used my 24mm.
    I find that I am either shooting with the 24 or the 120.

    Yes, it really is a wonderful image. The motion blur makes all the subtle colors in the sky and seawater blend very nicely. The photo reminds me of the Dutch painters of the seventeenth century. And the seascape with these colors remind me of William Turner too. Well done!

    It got replaced. There was really nothing wrong with the original with the “bubble” or whatever it was, but since I would never sell an $11000 lens on eBay, I wanted to be sure that the bubble would not impact the resale value to Leica users on Leica forums. Leica and Leica Miami solved that…[Read more]

    If stepping out and you could only carry one lens (may we put weight as a non-issue for the moment?), is there one you prefer over the other, lets say for portraiture?

    It seems the 35 may have the “potential” for a little more distortion at the edges being the wider of the two. (??) Would love for you…
