Thanks! T-Max has such a wide latitude. I’m usually exposing for an EI of 160-200. The extra density of the neg works really well with ‘dslr’ scanning (I use a Sony A7RII). I convert in Negative Lab Pro and usually use the Linear Gamma pre-set. Beyond that, I clone out dust and use auto-tone in Photoshop. If I nailed the exposure, no other adjustments are necessary.
Now I hope that the Chinese make a steel rim copy!
Just to see if they can do it! The steelrim has very special glass.
Well, then they should do it. Leica themselves will not. Their new "steelrim" is not like the old one.

Nice photos, Raid. Both the M9 and M10 images look good, but I have to say, as an owner and fan of the M9, your M10 images look a bit better to me. I suspect it's because the M10 is just better at nailing white balance in camera and also because many of the M10 images appear to have been taken in pretty much optimal light conditions -- on clear days, with very long shadows indicating very early in the morning or just before sunset -- while many of the M9 shots are on overcast days. The M9 images can look great too, but in my experience it takes a little more user effort to correct colors and get them just right. Anyway, nice job!My images taken with the M10 and LLL 35/2 "replica".
I'm glad you posted what you did. My rambling is simply the result of a curious nature and analytical bent. I can't look at a photo without trying to figure out why it looks the way it does. Sorry 😎
uff; eventhoug I bought the LLL replica but still have no intention to part with my 35/2.8 Summaron and 35/2 IV (KOB)
