Yellow Everywhere

I’ve always been one who always likes to buy everything new.  When I purchased a Leica 50mm summilux version 1, built-in 1959 I was unsure what I was getting.  Now, after shooting it for a few weeks I’m truly in love.  It has a very unique bokeh and colors are a bit saturated.  The sharpness is nothing like my noctilux or 35mm summilux.  I suppose my future camera endeavors may involve purchasing “classic” lenses.

I thought her yellow shoes, dress, and the flowers would be a winning combination.

Where is the fruit?

One of the unique things about the Leica M system is its ability to use lenses created over the past 75 years.  I recently purchased a Leica 50mm summilux version 1, built-in 1959.  Even after 50 years, this lens has phenomenal image quality and unique characteristics.

Surprise

A few weeks ago we headed back home to celebrate my sister-in-law’s birthday.  Her husband successfully surprised her with a gathering of friends and family.  Here is a shot taken from that evening.
