A couple weeks ago, I asked for advice here on a lens if I were to dive into an M9. After a lot of GREAT advice, I got the M9, a used Summicron 50mm f/2 from someone here, and I'm off and running.
It's been a thrill so far! I love the camera, the feel, size and construction; I love the lens; the whole experience. I am very colorblind and tend to think photographically in black and white, and have a long darkroom background, so I usually only leave digital images in color because my wife asks for color. That said, even *I* am stunned by the colors and how 'ready' images are from this camera. I take them into lightroom where I'm used to doing heavy PP and I'm at a loss for what to tweak! So I don't
Here are some first attempts, snapshots while I get my arms around the camera... If you're interested, I've set up a blog to document this new photographic journey.
Thanks for all the help so far!

M9, 50mm f/11, 1/30, ISO 1000

Thanks for looking!

Looks like a great start.
Reminds me that I need to put the Summicron on the M9...

Even this "digital hater" won't hesitate to say those look superb. You have a great lens as well. Best of luck with them!

When I first visited this forum, I used to wonder what all the big deal was about "lens signatures". I have since begun to understand. I love the color and the contrast that my 50 Summicron renders. Yours look great as well. Congratulations.

For me, it comes in January. Fine, vibrant captures, by the way.

Thanks for the comments and encouragement. Still have some work to do on framing, but the camera and the output are a thrill!

The framing and focus come along fairly easily with experience. Then there's the ongoing (fun) challenge of getting the lenses that best suit your style.

Congrats on your new M9! I absolutely love the picture with the haycart. Reminds me of th art work one of my favorite bands uses on their albums. I can't wait to see more
