Thanks to Brick's images with the 35 Cron V4.....I had to pull the trigger when I saw one available. Nothing spectacular here, but first time taking it out. I've had the 35 Cron ASPH I before, was never a huge fan in the rendering, like this much more. Plenty sharp enough wide open, but less contrasty and much more prefer the out of focus rendering
Tucson AZ Moonset in Earth's shadow, a periodic capture for me at full Moon, this time Leica M11 EV1, Leica Rigid lens that was constructed in 1966 rendered with a Cobalt Kodachrome iso 25 preset.
The weather doesn't get more pleasant than it was here in Parma today. So went out shooting and then lunch at a sidewalk restaurant with my Wife. It seems that many had similar ideas. The town was busy. I took the M6 loaded with Ilford HP5-400, and my M11 for color. I shot almost 1/2 a roll on the M6 but I am so much more productive on the M11. Mostly I think this comes from the fact that I am using a 74 year old lens on the M6, and the fact that I can float the ISO so shoot much faster than doing both focus and exposure manually with the M6.
Here are a few from the M11 and the 35mm Summilux.

Tailgate market this morning. Since having cataract surgery and lens replacement last year, I've got super vision and it's SO easy to focus with the rangefinder. That and the fact that I've got white hair and shooting with a diminutive camera makes me a non threat as I happily shoot away. I guess those are some of the percs getting older
