You have some nice photos. I don't understand the fascination of photographers with bokeh. Great photographs are made by subject, composition and (in my view) most importantly contrast.

That black paint MP is simply gorgeous! BTW, I tried to reply twice to your last comment on my Cuba video but for some reason my reply isn't showing up, must be a glitch with KZfaq. I was going to say that I would like to add a 75mm lens to my system to complement the 35mm Summilux. Over the past few years I started noticing that I don't like the compression on lenses that are 90mm or greater for portraits, instead I now prefer taking portraits with either a 50 or 75 mm lens. I'll have to check out that Summicron.

I'm not looking for a 90mm lens either. The reason I ask, I am going to Madrid next spring and want to bring just the M11 and 35 Summilux close-focus. (There might be some parallels between Havana and Madrid.) Then I thought, maybe I should also bring the 75 APO for the longer shots, and I could crop to 90 very occasionally. But I would probably only use it 10-15% of the time, and at that point, maybe it's not worth bringing. Then I second-guessed myself again, and thought about bringing the 28 elmarit and 50 lux. These would be smaller lenses than the 35/75. But I would lose out on the 35, which is so versatile. Can't decide. I'm going to NYC next month, so maybe I will test drive the 28/50 combination.

@@sc1 if I were going to be shooting a lot of architecture I’d probably want a 21 in the bag. You are right about the percentages. When I went to Greece I mostly used the 28 and 50. The 90 was only 10% of shots at most… but a couple were totally worth it. On the other hand, when I went to Warsaw I took only my Ricoh GRIII with the 28mm equivalent and it was perfect. Also, dirty little secret: I’ll often pull out my iPhone for the ultra wide shots. Works great in raw.

I got inspired on your first Leica video and I opted for the new Leica M6

Cool. Leica is a never-ending journey. Film/analogue is a whole new world compared to digital.

Don’t use an nd. Just put your subject in shade and stay close

How do you put your subject in shade if you can’t move your subject or there is no shade?
