very nice gohaj-
would you mind sharing your method?
for instance, is this shot as raw or jpeg, color or b&w, etc...
thanks

Thanks!
For the B&W photo, it is shot as jpeg and shot as B&W (not colour convert to B&W).
Thanks!

Shooting JPEGs straight in B&W... a man of simplicity... I like it.
Sometimes, too much control makes me wanting "that" perfect B&W RGB mix.. but I never got around to finding it.

did you shot at f22?

not to get off subject, but, why does the EXIF data record only the ISO and shutter speed and not the F stop? Obviously the camera has to record this if it has an aperture priority mode.
also, nice b&w photo gohaj.

Still trying to See.
There is no electronic coupling between the lenses and the body on the R-D1, so this information can't be passed to the camera. This is why Leica came up with 6 bit coding for the M8, although I think this only identifies the lens and maximum aperture and not the used f stop.
The camera in aperture priority mode does not need it with aperture controlled on the lens. Simple and better!

I was very interested in the 35mmm 1.4 until I read Sean Reid's review of it. The bokeh is harsh and any other CV 35mm is better in terms of sharpness and resolution. I ended up buying the 35mm 1.2 instead but still waiting for it

Not my opinion so far.
Late Summilux pre-asph 35/1.4 (above) vs CV 35/1.4 SC (below) at f/1.4, f/2.8 and f/4.

Both lenses wide open are not very appealling at all. Appalling is more like it. : )
Looks like f2.8 is the sweet spot for the summilux--it's where the flare contributes rather than takes away from the photo.
For the CV it's a toss up between f4 and f2.8 with an edge to the former.
I didn't need to "Reid" any reviews to know that I don't really like the look of the CV 35/1.4 wide open (I had and sold the 40/1.4 for the same reason) nor its bokeh, but it presents a very capable and appealing particular set of compromises between size, speed, handling and price. The photos posted here amply demonstrate why some people like it and why some others don't. (i've always wanted to play the peace broker even while sympathizing with one side!).

The bokeh of the 35/14 MC looks harsher than the SC version to me.
Of course bokeh is subjective but it is common konwledge than OoF is 'harsh' or otherwise poor when it shows doubled lines and/or highlights get sharp edges so that they seem to be in focus instead of being in the background or the foreground.
In that sense, i have found some harshness in some CV lenses like the 35/1.4 MC, also in some aspheric Leica lenses but not in the CV 35/1.4 SC or pre-asph Leica's like the 'lux above so far.
But it is a matter of experience and mine is very short with my CV SC to be honest.
