    Damn, since most street photos on YT nowadays are shot on 28, 35 or 50mm shooting with a telephoto lens gives it already a unique look. Now you throw in the M11M with this 75mm Noc and you get yourself really a unique set of images - and they are stunning Jamie! Even those on the day you didn't feel it so much :)
    Since you got the M11M I assume most of your shots are still mainly composed in camera like your M6 shots - or do you crop a lot with the M11M, since it has the 60MP (+ that beautiful Mono sensor!)?
    Always enjoy your videos when you publish them, awesome job as always mate! :)

    For tele purposes I searched for the discontinued Summarit series lenses. I was able to find the 2nd gen version with f/2.4 for the 75mm and 90mm. Best lenses ever! Compact, light weight, fast enough aperture, perfect for travel and not that conspicuous when mounted on a M camera.

      @@jamie.dop_ Yep, that's why I love the Summarit-M series. Currently got almost all of them as the 2nd gen with the f/2.4 aperture. To complete the collection I am trying to get the Summarit-M 35mm f/2.4 in my hands.
      The Summarit-M series is well balanced on the M11 black and M10 Mono. With the high ISO capabilities f/2.4 is more than enough especially if you shoot street with smaller aperture or you need more depth of field with portraits.
      I remember years ago Ralph Gibson recommended the Summarit-M 75mm f/2.5 or f/2.4 version as a under dog performer lens.

    Have you compared the Summicron-M 28 to the Summilux-M 28 (heavy, but a sharp yet “creative” lens) and the tiny + lightweight Elmarit-M 28? I have the latter two, and am tempted to try the Cron. I too like the 28 mm focal length on full-frame cameras.

    It's a great lens (I use it since one year) - but when shooting moving subjects, you must be willing to accept a significantly lower hit rate compared to modern 85/1.4 lens with AF on a Sony/Nikon/Canon. The DoF / amount of separation is about the same.
