  1. Hello Mukul

     

    Hope all is well with you. Seems you have a goodie there. Does the meter work? Because meter has been a concern, I

    bought Canon P and have managed to collect four lenses- 1.2/50, 2.8/35, 3.5/100 and 3.5/135.

     

    I bought an original lens hood for 1.2/50 and it was NOT cheap!!!

     

    I must say the 3.5/100 is an amazing lens - wonderful! I have used it with my Leica M9 for B/W shots and the creamy

    results are lovely.

     

    Enjoy you new toy!

     

    Best

  2. <p>LEICA M9 Upgrade is nothing more than new buttons and buckles on the same bag at such a high cost. Its pure cosmetics. No doubt, I have always said ''You do not carry a leica, you wear a Leica''. Its now like jewellery. Will upgrade take better pictures? NO, NO, NO. Will it look better? May be, I am not too sure. Red dot was always the Leica symbol. Why the hell could Leica not include all those bells and whistles in the first place when they came out with M9? Is it purely money making racket?<br>

    I was offered upgrade but I have declined it. Will happily wait for Leica M10 if ever or whenever.<br>

    My personal opinion, some might disagree.</p>

  3. <p>Dear Mukul<br>

    Remember the old adage "if you dont use it, you loose it". This works as much for your mind as it does for your body. It is like an old motor bike which has not been used for a long periond and might need a "kick Start" - but dont let it get to that stage. You are still a young man and keep your faculties going - be creative, and think positive which you do.<br>

    Best regards</p>

  4. <p>Hi Alex<br>

    Hope you are well. Yes, it is a matter of choice. At one stage it was more difficult to get Grey Steel as compared to Black. One other advantage of Grey Steel perhaps is that either Chrome or Black lens will go with it. But like someone recently said to me ''when I see through the viewfinder, I do not notice the colour of the lens''- How very true!!!</p>
