I edited this before in a sepia tone but this time around, I went for a dark, moody, and matted black and white image. So, the first photo was taken in Central Park. IвЂ™ve been working on finishing quite a lot of edits recently. I may spend more time on them in the future but honestly speaking, I am all edited out haha. All these took about a few minutes each in Camera Raw in Photoshop CC. I wish Leica would make more M lenses like this one.ДЄnyway, I was messing around with these pics for fun, and thought IвЂ™d post them. Ergonomically, I actually prefer it much more than my current Summicron. Plus, itвЂ™s tiny, and yes, the smaller size is definitely noticeable when youвЂ™re out shooting. Now, I have the more recent Summicron-M 35mm f2 ASPH in black paint, which I feel is technically better in nearly every way optically (yes, even bokeh) but there is just something about this older version that I really like. This was my first 35mm for a Leica M camera, and IвЂ™ve used it quite a bit over the years. But itвЂ™s really his fault without him, I probably wouldnвЂ™t have been bitten by the Leica bug ). I mentioned this before in previous posts: my dad doesnвЂ™t really shoot much anymore, and well, I tend to вЂњborrowвЂќ a lot of his stuff for an indefinite amount of time ). In fact, my dad originally bought this new, and he bought it back in the 80s, so thatвЂ™s how long itвЂ™s been in my family. So, IвЂ™ve had the 35mm Summicron v4 for many years. The camera that I used to create the images here was actually my Leica M9 (yes, I went very far back in my archives рџ™‚ ). These were taken with my Leica 35mm Summicron v4, or as some call it, the Bokeh King. So, like many of you, IвЂ™ve been spending some of my new found extra time looking back at my archives right now, and I found a few images that I just felt like working on real quick. But for now, I thought IвЂ™d post something short. ItвЂ™s already done IвЂ™m just working on the final touches. Monochrome Images With the Leica 35mm Summicron-M v4:ДЇor those looking for new reviews, one is coming this weekend.
