<p>Allan, that one is beautiful!!!<br> Gettin' rural, too: In my village.</p><div></div>

<p>Wow Eddie, great insight here and a very beautiful shot. As time goes by...</p>

<p>Congrats, Valentin! <br> Look how it paints wide open, that's worth a try:</p><div></div>

<p>Jim, Mukul, yes, this is a stalk pic...For that I don't like Winogrand so much. And it just happened to me when I was about to start the van...<br /> It was too perfectly framed in the mirror, I just pushed the button.<br /> Will try to put less legs in the next future;)</p>

<p>Craig, I feel Blow Up.</p><div></div>

<p>Hi all, nice and sound advice to be found here. <br /> And, Spencer, as much as I appreciate your enthusiasm, please rethink/research that one:</p> <blockquote> <p>I would only recommend getting one, because you can use the rest with a m39 to M adapter and a turret viewfinder (assuming your shoe isn't taken up already). In that case you may also want a rangefinder unless you're good as predicting distances.</p> </blockquote> <p>Please get clear about what you are posting in order not to confuse future readers of this thread/forum. Thank you!<br> <br /> Best,<br /> <br /> Knut</p>

<p>Nice gents, faces and facades...</p><div></div>

<p>C'mon, Jim, take one out of the drawer;)</p><div></div>

<p>If it would be "massively benificial" for you, do it.<br> Otherwise, maybe learn to develop yourself to save money, browse another lab to do so, shoot less and more concentrated; and above all,<br> listen to Anthony. This somewhat special Leica combo feels like inherited, when I hear from you <br> that you are only 18. Maybe you should wait a bit with the decision, if you can afford.</p>

<blockquote> <p>IR filter in general are a good for improving the quality of black and white films (which are sensitive to IR)<br /><br /></p> </blockquote> <p>Spencer, are you shure? The M8 (reason why these filters are somewhat common these days)<br /> gives me constantly better people pics and detail in the shadows when convertet into BW <em>without </em>UV/IR. YMMV</p>

<p>About the oil idea...<br> http://www.zeisscamera.com/fraud.shtml</p>

<p>Nice Barry! Thanks Allen! Great light, perspective control and of corps, piece of art of LB, Robin! Great use of 90º FOV, Allen! Rajmohan, I am awaiting an early uncoated Summitar, that looks promising! Thanks for living it up, Brad, well done! I like the guy with the dog tank! Jim T, where are you?</p> <div></div>

<p>Great thread, lads!</p><div></div>

<p>What kind of filter is it anyways?</p>

<p>Thanks Mukul, all the best!</p>

<p>Mukul, a complete Leitz table tripod definitely accredditates you for more than only lurking around;)<br /> You did use RF cameras for half a century, didn't you?<br /> <br /> Please don't be so harsh with yourself, this is the second time you are ruling yourself out here AFAIK.<br /> Might be your education and honestity or you would like to retire from this POW; but on this thread I think many people are posting a DSLR pic from time to time without blushing, and it's completely ok. Always appreciated your entries! Cheers, Knut</p>

<p>Best wishes to everybody, nice chat!</p><div></div>

<p>I would check the strap lugs.<br> Best,</p> <p>Knut</p><div></div>

<p>Thanks Charlie, great mood! I think the best POTW threads are these corresponding and intertwining ones. M2 also is a magic eye.</p> <p>PD: second pic is just a crop from the first.</p>

<p>Flies...</p><div></div>

<p>Hi Barry, nice, ok, a head shot...My subject wasn't as proactive as yours; the flies were mad that day. M9 and Tele Elmar 135mm.</p> <div></div>

<p>Thanks Skeeter; and didn't know that you NYers use that german word for crossing the East River. Nice subject and light, Charlie!</p>

<p>Lemay in the sky with diamonds...</p> <p><br /> Continue sans chats, Alex!</p> <p>Skeeter, übermüdet?</p> <p>Thanks Emir! Ehm...which? Why?</p> <p><br /> Great colours, Wouter!</p> <p><br /> Paris...welldone, like LF, Harry!</p> <p>Blade Runner now feels like a lullaby...</p><div></div>

<p>The environment.</p><div></div>

<p>Ok Barry, nice open shadow!<br> Mine are weekend impressions from Catalonia, Spain. Don't recall the santos of the day;)</p><div></div>
