Love the grit and texture here. Others are covering up, trying to get out of the weather. You are using ur M5! Sweet.

Thank You dear Huss...

Great pictures in this thread!

It seems, I finally will buy one of this lovely cameras in a few days... 🙂

Now I'm thinking about which would be the perfect lens to attach to it...

You two are killing it with these images.

 

[Erik van Straten]

Great shots, BLKRCAT. They make me want to use the f/1.1 Nokton again.

Thank you both for the compliments.

Erik.

 

[BLKRCAT]

Thanks Huss and Erik

These days it takes me a long time to get through a roll. Just don't see much stuff worth shooting. I'm looking forward to spring/summer when people are outside doing stuff.

Also this was with the F1.5 not the 1.1! I should have used the 1.1 for the top shot as I was carrying it in my bag but never switched it out of put laziness.

Once again, very inspiring work Erik and BLKRCAT

Thank you, Giulio.

BLKRCAT, I should have seen that the pictures are done with the f/1.5 Nokton, as I have both lenses. Maybe deep inside I want to use the f/1.1.

Ive been using it on the M4 lately (loaded with Delta 3200 at 1600) I find it just too big on the M4. Quite possibly the reason why maybe not a lot of people use the lens. On a regular M body it just feels huge but on the M5 it feels big, but totally manageable.

Erik, your "geometric" games are so interesting... It's a pleasure for my eyes...

BLKRCAT great shots also! Thank you for sharing.

Sug, love your las photo also, it's so sweet, soft...

 

[BLKRCAT]

Thanks Shab!

 

[coelacanth]

Thank you, Shab. 🙂

After shooting a few rolls in my newly acquired BP M4, I'm back on M5 for a new roll. Yes the BP M4 is dead sexy, but I still love my ugly duckling very very much. 🙂

Thank you, Shab!
