That cloud could be a source of concern - especially if you were anywhere near Kwajalein Atoll!

Sadly this house (along with the wheat in the field) was lost in wild fires about a week after this image was taken.

1972 GTV 2000, that has been restored ground up with a euro cams, header, forged pistons and rod and twin Weber 40DCOE, currently putting out about 200hp but on a 1800 pound car it is more than enough. So to use the HP it is lowered with progressive rate springs, drilled and slotted brake rotters Cromodora wheels and Toyo tires

When Zeiss says "It's apochromatic" they really can back it up. Difficult to find a better resolving 135mm.

Yes the D850 sensor and Zeiss glass are nearly perfect partners - this was literally the 200th image taken with the new body! I will repost it in 4K for you

Hand held - the D850 has an amazing sensor and when coupled with a Zeiss lens it is probably as good as full frame can get. This is literally the 15th image taken with the new D850 for me.

The outdoor lights in this scene have just about every color temperature there is - from the yellow orange sodium vapor lights of the Tokyo Tower to the green blue of the mercury vapor street lights the the aircraft warning lights and the multiple colors of the neon signs - difficult to white balance a scene like this for sure - the M10 sensor is a definite improvement over the M240 series

No star filter - When it is stopped down to 5.6 or higher the Zeiss 28mm delivers the 9 pointed stars naturally. Thanks for your question!

The best value ride and vistas in the world!

I am enjoying the M10 sensor - an improvement over the M240

Nice even greyscale

Taken just before sunset - lighting was highly variable because of passing clouds overhead but I was able to grab the last little bit of light on the forehead - thanks for taking a look!

Here is an example of the disappointing M240 tendency to exhibit shadow banding in low light images. I hope the M10 sensor addresses this shortcoming.

The Summilux renders scenes with a wonderful richness

This image was sitting in the post-processing que for the last two years - but when I dusted the file off I was reminded of the "special" natural of the summicron lenses- hard to explain really but there is something about the way it draws light when you imaging large heroic subject matter -

Yes it was working perfectly in -20c battery life was a bit shorter but no problems with shutter or iris sticking - worked smoothly. I only wish my hands and feet did as well at that altitude and cold

That was me with the backpack 45 years ago - only I don't recall the escalator or the McDonalds at the station. Now I carry an M and a credit card instead.

I like the visual concept of this image
