@airfrogusmc -- Allen, looks like you have a good eye for lines and patterns.

@icebear -- Klaus, it seems to me you are enjoying the MM at the streets this holidays!

Thanks Dave.

Thanks Dave, you are really burning up that MM. Did you use a Noctilux for this shot? I love it!
Jim

Cheers Jim! I used the Summilux 50mm ASPH for this (wide open), my one and only lens (so far).

Worth noting, that last two were taking in almost total darkness. This camera is like night vision.

+1 Excellent. Total darkness is a friend of the MM

Still waiting on filters. Been love the results without. I have a red, orange, yellow and green coming soon I hope. I have some but they are pretty beat and really large 55/58mm and I'm not so sure if I can find them.

Hello Mike,

little Melody is obviously a cutie, well captured with the sonnar. The MM brings out the character of each lens to the fullest. It doesn't really matter if it is a new design or a more classic lens. I am sure you will be longing to keep the rental or you'll be putting in an order soon. Enjoy and keep posting.

Thank you -- my niece and her husband make very pretty kids. The trick was to catch them moving slow enough 🙂

I like the MM, but I'm such a film geek I won't really mind sending it back. However I am starting to get the urge to have an M again -- perhaps an M7. That's why I've kept my M-mount lenses, just in case

Very arresting images. I esp like the horses.

Digging the cute elves, and I like your framing in the last one.

Nice shadowplay on this.

Thanks Mike...

I'm an old film guy to. Went out kicking and screaming. Downsized the living arrangements some years back. Let go of the blads and the darkroom (miss the experience for sure). But I love this camera. The only small format digital B&W I have been happy with to this point.

Oh Mike I have a show coming up in April (will post info when I have it all nailed down) but here are some of the images that may wind up in the exhibit.

Some very nice photographs - portraits and candids!
If you have a website or share more photographs on the web elsewhere, please share!

I like particularly your eye for juxtaposed candids with street art, signs and posters, etc …
