I actually had the 24mm Lux before I arrived here but just thought I'd include it anyway. The Noct & the extremely rare Titan MP were provided for my collection by my dear friends Steffen D and Steffen K. Wow, I feel so lucky, that MP is going to look just great next to my Titan M7 three lens kit.

Deaf ones land gladly where already pigeons are.
I guess some translators don't work all that well. Could it be "Pigeons land gladly where pigeons already are." ?? Still doesn't make much sense.
But those are some really nice looking lenses!! Congratulations.

If you're getting the 21/1.4 as well I will be even more jealous

Well, thats cool, but do you actually take photos with them? If so, lets see them. (God knows you must have some pretty models to photograph.

Charlie is not a fondler and does great work on both film and digital... His India work is fantastic and I've been trying to convince him to do a book. The majority of his work is very personal and, as you can understand for someone of his profile, not something that can be posted in online forums.

Good to see these new products are now hitting the shelvesand people are getting to use them.
24mm f1.4 would be ideal on an M8 but the 21mm f1.4 would be killer indeed. Don't even get me started on the new Noctilux! I'd kill to use one on my M7.
Think I'll settle for the sloth like ZM 21mm f4.5 or Leica's "cheap and cheerful" 24mm f3.8 and buy some fast film until I can afford to upgrade!
Cool MP too!

What are your three lenses? The 50 noct, the 24, and the 50 Lux?

Nice toys... though I wish they'd have made 21/2 and 24/2 instead (or in addition), assuming they could be smaller...

Going to the f/1.4 was actually a very smart move on Leica's part; taking that market by storm. Even the DSLR people will have to take note. Call Leica a niche player, but a dang fast one at that.

Yes I do take photos with them, very much so. The only camera I don't use is the M7 Titan three lens kit because I actually have a one lens kit with a 50 that I use instead. The reason I don't post here is mainly because I don't get a lot of time except when I'm on the road which is where I am now but also because a lot of my images are personal and the best one's are of my family so that is just not an option for me unfortunately.
But take pictures, I do and am at present making a coffee table book together with Leica (upon their request) that I will be selling on tour as part of my merchandise. I will also be doing an exhibition at the Fahey Klein gallery in LA before the year's out. There will also be galleries on my website of the view from my eyes whilst I'm on the road. So to answer your question, yes! I pretty much use every camera that I own at some point as I don't believe in buying them to just look at.
Hope this answers your question,

Ahh... but Ferider, if you only knew the sacrifices one has had to make over the years to get those initial pigeons to land here in the first place, I don't think you'd envy me at all.
