Cars and Coffee Meetup at Leica Meatpacking NYC
This past weekend was Coffee and Cars with the Metro NYC Porsche group and Leica's Meatpacking store. I brought my Leica M2, M240, 50 Summicron, and 28 Elmarit to the meetup. These are a few of my favorite photos from the morning. You can see all of the photos in this video as well as others on my website: shawnpbruce.com/blog/cars-and-coffee-with-porsche-and-leica-in-new-york-city

Spring Street Photos

    Just rolling through a few videos with the Simera -- it's interesting to see the ability to switch between ~F5.6 for street work and then drop it to 1.4 for what you would usually accomplish with a 35mm. @0:23 -- leading out with a strong moment! The color blue seriously holds it down with this.

    @3:11 is spicy man. There is so many layers to the image. The one shot from the Summilux 1.4 @4:11 still makes you want to magically come across $6k to spend. It was good to hear that you didn't hate the weight and size of the Simera. That has been my big question when deciding between this or one of the F2 variants.

    When I go out to shoot street photography I generally carrie several things with me. 1. I prefer to use Sony 135mm and 85mm GM prime to keep my distance from people that may not like their pictures taken. 2. I wear a shirt that reads "Never Underestimate a photographer who's also a U.S Veteran" (got it on ebay) which sets people at ease. 3. Positive Attitude! I walk around with a smile, say 'hello' to everyone. Lastly, General rule: Whether positive or negative, the energy that we emit into your environment effects the outcome of our day. Think happy and smile. Smiles can be contagious 😊

    the wobble you have can be fixed easily. the front group does not have separation is has a specific haze. In my experience this lens does not suffer from schneidereitis but has small circular haze build up on the glass that reflects on the black paint and looks like schneidereitis. The front group can be removed and the glass too but by a very good craftsman who can cut the edge with a fine saw. I did this yesterday after buying this lens after watching your video. I have a decade of camera repair experience and even for me it was challenging to work that precisely while cutting. I am located in Austria if you ever wish to get it serviced.

      I haven’t really had a chance to test the Leica 28mm Summilux enough to make a conclusion. The Leica lens design is ten years old now, so depending on what advancements they’ve made in manufacturing or glass production, the Thypoch could be pretty even. I’m still using my Thypoch 28mm daily and love it. It’s been fantastic.
