For those not keeping score on my last two threads:
1. Wanted a 35/2 Biogon. (thought) I bought a Biogon.
2. Got a 50 Planar by (my own) mistake. Loved it.
3. Actually bought a Biogon.

Got it late last evening and took it out on a short trip to SE Washington (state). Mostly shot film but have a few digital; wide open and stopped down; BW and color.

Excited to take it downtown for some street scenes tomorrow. a 35 is usually glued to the M8.

Minor note: behind me in the second photo was a plaque commemorating Aberdeen native Lee Friedlander: "Working primarily with Leica hand-held 35 mm cameras and black-and-white film, Friedlander's style focused on the "social landscape". His photographs used detached images of urban life, store-front reflections, structures framed by fences, and posters and signs". Well, I guess I was doing that, too.

You forgot:
0. Have an Ultron-M 35/1.7 :)

For most us it takes years to go through a series of lenses.

I'm having fun following your adventure as you compress years of living into weeks.

Hey now, I've been a good boy and spent exactly $12 on gear in the last five years. I'm not going through lenses, I'm just building up a kit. (and for the record, it was a heavily brassed LTM bought a decade ago!) :D

As for compressing years of living into weeks, that's been the case in grad school: 10 months of sitting in front of a computer and drafting board, two of indulging in every possible hobby and avocation to make up for lost time.

But more photos from a Seattle Design Festival event last night. I used to volunteer for event photography every year (where I learned the M8 doesn't like third party batteries), but this time around it was nice to chat and see exhibits.

I’m not qualified to judge the 35/2’s perfection, and I’m more likely to take the RX1/Sonnar as a dedicated 35 kit, but I’m glad to have this lens for my RFs.

Nice images and extremely useful as it points out the different rendering between Sony and Leica. And it is different, I could see that in those images right away.
 
It is a fantastic lens.
But mine squeaks :bang:
As to posting with the file limits it cannot show its power.
Anyway I will try to find something
