Like the S2, the Summicron ASPH is overkill for what I usually shoot, but the Monochrom... be still, my heart. That is one incredible B&W machine. Even if it takes a semi-eternity to save your picture to the memory card. I'll post some other shots I took with it later. The files are so beautiful and malleable, I can hardly believe my eyes. I have a bunch of 50mm lenses that have been saying "Shoot full frame with me!" lately. They would get along with the MM splendidly. I also have a wallet that says, "Ouch!" We'll see who wins. :-) Meanwhile, I can shoot B&W very nicely with the M8 most of the time, albeit with 35mm lenses as "standard lenses." I should do more with it. --Peter On Wed, Dec 3, 2014 at 1:12 PM, Geoff Hopkinson <hopsternew at gmail.com> wrote: > I enjoyed looking Peter.
