Only the best colleges😁

Any good psychologist knows that the way to happiness is buying as many Leicas as possible🤣

It's an addictive feeling that could be dangerous for your wallet... I speak from experience😂

Yeah, but do it against someone else next time😆

I'll never let go of manual transmission.

A house on a hill with lit window, on a very snowy, dark evening. Lots of trees obscure the view, their branches forming intricate patterns.

I didn't know moose had knuckles.

Happy International Women's Day!💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

Scary times🙁

If you want a super compact setup, I recommend the ME Super. It's borderline Leica-sized with that 40 pancake. Otherwise, I'd go mechanical, like K1000, K2, KM, KX, MX and various other letters.

Old farts seem to forget that us millennials grew up with rotary phones and manual transmissions too.

I pass that place in my car or on the subway all the time! Scary stuff😬 Idk why they say "other options", that place is the most heavily monitored building in the area. Surely they must have filmed the whole thing?

Happy birthday, whenever it was!🥳

Excellent choice👌🏻

I have actually managed a nice portrait or two with that lens on film with eyes in focus... after many tries😆

Yeah, I know that problem. I have the 35mm 1.2 Nokton. Gotta remember that the coupling stops at 0.7m😂

The Rokkor 40mm is great! I used to have one back when I had a Minolta CLE. It's basically a Summicron, and as we all know, Summicrons are the best lenses ever made by anyone ever😄
I really like the look of that 40 1.2 wide open, but I remember thinking it was almost a bit too "perfect" stopped down

You should try my 50mm Nokton F1. Hitting focus on film with that one requires an hour of meditation first.
