My M5s need red dots!
New in my Leica family, I mean.
A little bit ago I received an e-mail indicating that my "new" old lens, a Summicron 90/2, is on its way. It's a cosmetically challenged M-mount lens, black, identical to the one Todd had a while back, when he had an M6.
Just wanted to share the news with you, guys!
Now, let's celebrate!

I'll bet you're grinning, Francisco! Congrats... It'll be fun thinking how you'll first put it to use...

Well... the eagle has landed... and it has a very distinctive feel! That is, now I'm a real grown-up and got three M-lenses!
Let's see how I manage... it's snowing outside, but I'll see to go and test-drive this baby later today.
Just hopping... and I'm not that caffeinated!

Congrats Francisco !!!! Did you get the proper lens hood ? You can't go out there unprotected

Oscar, I'm glad to report this lens has a built-in hood... that took me by surprise (I didn't know it).
Todd... what kind of filters does this lens use? If I take it to Chicago on a windy day (which happens often) I may be in need of something.
Now... let's look for targets, I mean subjects!

I forget the size but I got one for the "interior" threads, maybe 43 or 46mm, I didn't like the way it fit though, with the filter and cap on the hood wouldn't collapse all the way. I would put the filter on as I needed it. Great lens and very, very sharp!
BTW, if you carry your camera around the neck, you'll want a padded strap cause this lens is heavy.

Thanks, Todd. I have a small collection of 46 and 48 filters. If they don't fit... I'll survive until my next visit to Chicago.
Almost finished a roll... but won't be able to see the results until (gasp!) Tuesday next week. Until then, it's all fun and games, though (time to dust off a cheap roll and have it done in the grocery store afterwards).
