The Leica 50 Summicron Lens Review:
The 50mm lens is my favorite focal length for the Leica M system, and one of the biggest reasons for this is because of my relationship with the 50 Summicron. When I received my first camera (a Leica M3), this was my first lens (borrowed from my dad), and it was my only lens for many years to come. There was no way that I could afford another Leica lens while in high school, so I made do with only a 50mm. When I went to college, I finally saved up enough money to buy an M6. My lens of choice? Again, it was the 50 Cron. At the time, since I bought my M6 new, this was the only lens that I could afford other than the 50 Elmar. Combine the price with the image quality that the 50 Summicron has to offer, and it’s pretty much a no brainer. [continue reading…]

Nice to see new Leica lenses back in stock. It’s great they finally have Leica M9 and M9-P bodies but we need more lenses! I was talking to my dealer, and he was telling me how it’s been extremely difficult to get new Leica customers any lens. Even his used lenses are dwindling fast! Good luck to those who want these lenses. Speaking of Leica lenses, my 50 Summicron review will be coming up tonight so stay tuned.

50 Summarit in Stock:
About time Leica started to produce some lenses. If anyone is looking for a new Leica 50 Summarit for their M9 or whatever, Adorama has one on sale right now. I just ran into the it by accident looking for something else :). Adorama is also selling the 50 Summarit on Amazon if you’d prefer to buy it there. Here are the links:

I’m actually a little tempted to buy it myself :). If you’re a visiter to my blog, you would know that I love the Summarit line. I had a great experience with the 35 Summarit. Anyway, stay tuned for my review of the 50 Summicron coming very soon, and good luck for those who want this lens.

A Post About Monitor Calibration:
Sorry for the lack of posts! My computer screen was blacking out intermittently, so I sent it back to Apple. On a side note, I am so glad that I bought Applecare! They replaced the screen, and gave me an additional 90 days on my warranty (I only have a few days left to my Applecare). It took a total of three business days, and I received it in the morning as well. Anyway, because of that, I have been busy reloading all the software back into my computer (one suggestion before I ship the computer was to do a clean install), and it’s been taking me ages. Since I’m still having a bit of difficulty locating all of my software, I thought I’d do my monitor calibration. [continue reading…]
What Led Me to The Gitzo G1178M:
If you read my other post about the non-quick release version of the G1178M (the G1177M), I clearly stated that I prefer ball heads with no quick releases. I never liked the idea of quick releases but I was sent the G1178M to check out, and well, I ended up sending the G1177M back, and keeping the G1178M quick release instead. It just goes to show that I should never be “stuck in my old ways” :). [continue reading…]
