Wasaukee Road House opens a new chapter. Plot thickens (what does that mean?) in a new location.

September 2, 2014

A couple weeks ago we took possession of a new place to hang our hats and kick off our shoes. After the closing we christened the place in the hot tub with touch of the bubbly. (more of Day One in Germantown) The view to the South. The view to the west. Ann’s sister Teri flew north from […]

This group demonstrates the reach and OOF bokeh of the 80 Summilux when used “on the streets.” The first two come from the view from The Anvil Restaurant in Cedarburg, WI; where Ann and I had dinner after looking for a “vanity” for one of the bathrooms in the house we’ve bought. The rest come […]

Locking the 60 Macro-Elmarit-R on to the Leica M, with M to R adapter, Multifunction Grip and EVF results in yet another relatively light, relatively small, very well balanced and extremely versatile kit.

Friday’s flowers (with Leitz Canada Summicron-R 1:2 / 50 on Leica M)

August 8, 2014

Continuing to enjoy this relatively small, relatively light kit as it simply delivers extremely fine digital photographic files. All of the visual qualities I’ve come to expect from Leica range finder and SLR cameras and lenses appear on the computer screen with virtually no post processing. With each use of the R lenses I become more comfortable […]

July 28, 2014

The Leitz Wetzlar Summicron-R 1:2 / 35 hanging on the Leica M (240) with Multifunction Grip and EVF truly feels like a terrific walk around kit. Extremely well balanced. Able to focus down to less than 10″; while offering a slightly wide field of view; yet maintaining terrifically natural sense of perspective and scale. And […]
