Got my Leica Summicron-M 35mm f/2.0!!

This is one of the first few shots from my new lens on the Epson R-D1! It's the fourth version of Leica's 35mm Summicron, or commonly known as the King of Bokeh!

Michael alerted me to this chrome version for sale on Rangefinderforum.com. Some one actually beat me to it. As usual. Luckily, buyer backed out and I ended up with the lens. Small package and feels really good in the hand. Let's hope it performs as well as it's reputation.

Cheers,

Testing my Elmar 3.5cm f/3.5 on chiif!

Got this off ebay and brought it along to show Chii Fei. Seems like I paid too much of it. As usual.

Anyway, looks like there's fog in this tiny lens so the contrast is very low. Of course nothing Adobe photoshop can't fix. I think I'll send it in for cleaning to see if it can improve. These tiny vintage lenses are just so....... pretty!

Chii Fei says "Buy less, shoot more"! Ha Ha.

Cheers,

The buildings in Hong Kong can be really close. This is shot with the 15mm lens on my recently acquired Epson R-D1 and it can still fill the whole frame. Talk about really high density living.
