One Year Later
It's now been a year since I added a Leica M240 to my collection. You can see my initial impressions and thoughts here. I've stuck with a single lens for my kit, the Voigtlander 50mm F1.5 lens, which I've been pleasantly pleased with. The DNG files are a joy to edit and work with. They have plenty of latitude and the traditional bayer setup makes for speedy processing (compared to Lightroom's handling of Fuji's X-Tran's sensor pattern). I picked up a Leica EVF a few weeks ago, specifically for nighttime use and any other times where I'm a bit time/quality constrained and need to get the shot and move on.

Below are a few of my favorite photos from the past year. I hope you enjoy them.
EASY Vintage Porsche Event
Even since stumbling upon The Drive's article on the monthly EASY (European Auto Salvage Yard) event, I've been looking forward to checking out the Bay Area's leading vintage Porsche meet up.
