Some 75 Summilux Love :):
I seriously love the 75 Summilux. It’s such a classic. I’m so glad my dad never sold it because I seriously love how the 75 Summilux performs on the Leica M9. He gave me his copy when I bought my M6 TTL. Too bad my copy focus shifts like crazy (It took a few tries to get the picture of the orchid sharp). In fact, because of the focus issues that I have with this lens, and it’s sheer size, I kind of used my 50 Summilux ASPH to replace both my 35 Summicron ASPH and the 75 lux. First off, I’m not the biggest fan of the 35mm even though I admit it’s probably the most useful lens for the Leica M system. Second, the 50 Summilux ASPH can definitely be used as a portrait lens so in some ways, it can replace the 75mm. The 50 lux ASPH is a very versatile lens, and I personally think it’s the best lens in the Leica catalog. [continue reading…]
What’s Been Keeping Me Busy From Going Out With My Leica M9:
I will be posting more in the future but thought I’d let you all in on what I’ve been busy doing this weekend. This photo was from a wedding that I should’ve finished processing by now but I must admit that I am a big procrastinator. It didn’t help that I got crazy busy either. Anyway, the whole wedding was shot with my Leica M9, and 50 Summilux ASPH. I brought my other lenses but there was no need. Ever since I bought the lux, it replaced both my 35 Summicron ASPH and my 75 Summilux. The 50 lux is such a versatile lens. I can not give it enough praise. I have a lot from this lens so stay tuned for a 50 Summilux ASPH review in the near future. [continue reading…]

Time to Dust Off The Old Leica M3:
As I said in my 50 Summicron review, I got to playing with my Leica M3, and really started to miss shooting with it. The Leica M3 is the ultimate Leica. It was built to last, and my double stroke beauty has gone through three generations in my family so far. It was stored in my great uncle’s (the original owner) basement for decades, and when my dad found it, he sent it back to Leica NJ to see what they could do with it. Leica ended up doing a great job restoring the camera, and since then, it has never failed. [continue reading…]
