I thought the hasselblad photo yesterday lacked any impact so set to work today to try to create a better photo.. I started with the little Lumix LX100.. to come.. and this was taken with my Leica M8.
I feel the Leica M8 did a much better job of capturing what I was hoping for. Guessing the 21mm lens field of view took a few attempts though! :) ..and crazy colour cast from the camera sensor/ lens combo (no IR filter)
Leica M8 + Zeiss ZM Biogon 21mm f2.8 lens

This is what has been distracting me from my photography since getting back from Budapest. I enjoyed riding the retro single gear bikes so much in Budapest when I got home I dug out my Cinelli Black Rats Mystic from the garage and set to work to pimp my ride!
Amongst hours and hours of research I stumbled across the UK based wheel specialist, Drew at Spinonthese.com. He made me a custom hand built wheel set to meet my requests. They are more than just pretty wheels, they are quite unusual - 28mm wide deep carbon rims that allow tyres to be ran at a much lower pressure giving a far better ride/ handling for when i'm racing around. The exact model I went for were "DM8 Superleggero Series SL-FiftyEight Super Fast Boys" track wheels.
If you appreciate bikes as much as cameras I would highly recommend you check him out!
