Yes, I have both. They are quite similar in a way. The 50 Lux I use with confidence and I like its bokeh; I shoot mostly wide-open. The 75 Cron, I need to tread cautiously, as its shallow depth-of-field often catches me off-guard, resulting in a pic with the wrong things in focus. But, I like this lens at lot and consider it a specialty lens. Love them all.

I saw how beautifully the leaf was resting, and took a pic. Thank you. It did not die in vain. No, I did not touch anything - only the button.

John, I thank you each time I see this photo. Most of my huge family whom I never met perished here. They are photos in albums, but at least I have that even though just turning pages is difficult. Appreciate your kindness, Lilia Binder

Some days there is nothing better than simply sitting in a warm sunny spot.

Thank you. These artefacts reflect a more genteel days when we have time to admire what we are holding. It was a pleasure to see and photo this.

That's a beauty of a pen. It would be my favorite as well.

Temperature was not a problem. The camera I used was my father's Contax -- believe it was 1952 model. Absolutely superb machine. Unfortunately, some nasty person whom I befriended some years later stole it from me. I miss that camera and all its memories to this day. ............ Lilia

Thank you for posting as it brings back wonderful memories of climbing Anapurna in my youth. I look at your photo and remember the thrill and exhilaration, crossing on wooden boards between 2 mountains with a huge drop down looking at icy rivers below. The comraderie of our group holding their breath as we crossed step by step. 25,000 to 26,000 feet high. We all held our breath watching our newly acquainted friends, exhilarated, praying, hoping that all would be successful. Thank G-d it was. What had been strangers a few days before became best friends. I still relish the experience as one of the best ever! Kind regards comrades...........Lilia

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

Beautiful. Leica can work at that temperature?
