I just rocked up and squeezed a few snaps off.
Working my way through my 50's. Today was the turn of the series 1 Summicron collapsible. The hot glass version as I have heard it called. Some rare earth materials in the glass apparently.

Desford Scarecrows 2018
The scarecrows are back in Desford. Over 150 to see. A lot of work gone in by a lot of people.

Oh my goodness, a year (and some) has passed since last post. Must try harder.
So that's in the past, in the present, I have now finally got my hands on a Leica M (type 240) M-P.
Was it worth waiting for the M-P over an M? Yes.
I skipped the normalM and went straight for the M-P
It looks right, it feels right, but even without trying the M, that extra buffer capacity makes all the diffrence.
I really liked the look and feel of the sensor inthe M9. I know it's a big departure for Leica to have changed lanes and gone the CMOS route, but quess what, I like the look of these images as well.
Easy to get hung up on the tech but the images are what count, nobody was bothered what quill Mr Shakespear used.
I would say the menus have been simpled out compared to the M9, they weren't bad but the menus and options her ebring you that bit closer to simpleness.
The range finder has definately improved over the M9. Standard range finder focusing is an absolute joy.
And with the live view I now have the option to use non range finder coupled glass.
Like my Pentax 77mm 1.8 Limited, that is, a truly stunning piece of glass.
So what did I go and play with today, first time had proper chance to play with the M-P. Yep, only seems right to pair my newest cam with my oldest piece of glass. The Lecia 5cm F2 Summar.
How does an old piece of glass (1936) render on a comparatively recent modern sensor?
Bit like this. As ever, straight out the cam.
