VoightLander NOKTON 40mm f1.4 S.C, Anthracite Leica ME Digital Body

Love this lens, it's my daily driver. I like to shoot wide open for a shallow depth of field with a messy bokeh. Have had it for years, used to use it extensively on my Voigtlander Bessa R3A.

Pretty well built, compact even with the lens shade. It's easy and smooth to focus. The single coated version flares a bit more, and has a slightly lower contrast than the multi coated version from what I've read. Love the contrast and and the painterly feel it gives.

Ill post a sample separately.

Chrome Light Lens Lab 50mm (Cooke) Speed Panchro, Anthracite Leica ME Digital Body

I'm just getting back into photography after losing my dark room to parenthood years back. The ME is my first digital body. I used to have a set of PL-mount Cookes when I worked in motion picture film, always loved them for personal projects and some music video work, so I am excited for this lens.

It's a bit difficult to focus at times, a wee big, but otherwise it's one sweet unit.

EDC bag for laptop and m10?

Does anyone have advice on an everyday carry bag that has a good spot to keep my M10 in while also being generally a good bag? I like to bring my camera around with me all the time, but I can't really find a bag that is both a general EDC bag for my laptop while also having a good spot for my camera.

I have previously used a peak design bag but I need to move away from a messenger style bag because of back pain.
