i'm not happy with this shot - i would have liked to capture the smoking guy fully inside the frame but the speed at which the swan was swimming would have meant i get the guy but lose the swan. and i wanted both :/
keep it or delete it?

On the day they announced the discovery of 'The God Particle' (Higgs Boson) my thoughts have been weighing heavily on that today.
As I was driving home this immense storm was rolling in so I stopped the car and whipped out the camera to try to camputer the weight and impending doom that these clouds can can make us feel.
The house in the foreground and the unsuspecting sheep give this a great sense of scale to the clouds extending way up into the heavens looming ominously overhead.

Theme for the new series: Bokeh & oof highlights
The Nokton 50 1.1 is pretty sharp wide open and delivers nice bokeh - just not as smooth as the Noctilux
35mm is my fav focal length. Not as tight as 50mm and not as wide as 28mm. Very versatile focal length which can cover portraits/landscape/street scenes.
I'm slowly gravitating towards a 28/35-75mm combo on the full frame M9.

I've lived in this city for 10 years now and i've never seen the river frozen solid!
Europe is reeling under a cold wave and here's an insight into how cold it is.
Btw, this was shot with the Noctilux, stopped down. To those who think the Noctilux is a one trick pony, its clearly not.

Quick review : Leica Summicron 28 f2
Small and sharp wide open!
Good flare resistance due to which i shoot without the monstrous hood.
I always found 35mm to be great for street photography till i discovered the 28mm length which i find better suited for Europe's narrow streets and action that happens closer to the photog.
This probably is the last lens that has the old Leica touch in the current lineup ... the new lenses are quite different in character when compared to the older rendering from Dr. Mandler's era
Verdict: Buy it! It really is the last lens in Leica's current portfolio that has the classical Leica glow while adding high contrast and sharpness wide open.
Brilliant lens. Small, light, fast to focus which makes it perfect for the street.
High contrast, razor sharp even wide open and very neutral bokeh which makes your subject the focus of the picture and not the bokeh (like the noctilux f1).
What is a 75mm good for? There are often times on the street where 50mm is already too wide and too far and the 90 is too tight.
The APO Summicron 75 lives on my M9 now. Only removed when the 75 Summilux wants to play.
EDIT: After using it for a few weeks now, the only quirk i notice is the funny feeling when you use the focus ring.
Thanks to the floating element, when you turn the focus ring, you are moving TWO groups of lenses and not one like conventional lenses. This feels a little strange at first but you get used to it.
Verdict - buy it.
