I know she is not a beautiful girl like the models of LeicaTom ^__^ but she is sweet, really soft, always happy to see me, she give a lot of kiss (or maybe they are licking) and she sleep on my bed with me 🙂

Like, "Wow", man.

Wide-open on the M8, Hot Mirror Filter, and the Sun-Shade from the Noct-Nikkor.

This lens is made from two parts lenses, front section and focus mount from a parts lens Roland sent to me, and the rear module and infinity tab from Ebay. I left the name-ring off, which reflects off the Hot Mirror Filter.
 
Love this lens, great at 1.2 and greater stopped down.
Exchanged it for a sigma dp1 and before use i Had to correct the pronounced focus shift it had, but now everything is ok!!!
Also i found it really small

At Coquimbo, Chile, sunny 16. Leica III-G

And here's one I've posted before, from when the lens still had an internal surface with coating half-eaten by fungus.

Some nice photos (the thread starter rocks). Do I get it right that this lens likes contrasty film/light ?

Definitely would be on my list for portraits should I ever get back to 35mm RF.

EDIT: How does it compare to the f/1.4 version ?

Beautiful capture! Lovely dog 🙂

This lens is GREAT for pet photos, just have to be quick and work at f1.2/f1.4 in fast moving daytime lighting 😀

It does work in that more contrasty mode, you have to watch if you forcefuly overexpose with the lens that you don't blow it out too much.

I prefer the f1.2 over the f1.4 while the look it gives at f1.4 is much smoother than the f1.4 is at f1.4 (does that make sense to everyone?) 🙂

Strangeluv beautiful shots. Are they made with a M8/M9? Very difficult to see (and I could also be wrong), but I simply have to admire your post processing technique if these are digital. If it is the case any secrets to share as I just purchased a 50/1.2 myself and am still struggling with digital post processing. Can use all the help I can get 🙂

Thank you Peter, kind words 🙂
They're all shot on a M8. Post processing is basically done in PS3 and most importantly, Silver Efex Pro. Great piece of software with lots of possibilities.
