I’m lost in over analysis (in my preferred order) between the following 50mm lenses, primarily for candid family photos:
*Canon 50mm f/1.4 LTM
*Voigtlander Color-Skopar 50mm f/2.2
*Zeiss Planar 50mm f/2
*Voigtlander Nokton 50mm f/1.5 II

Priority is some type of unique lens charm, portability, and affordability.

Deep down inside I really want a 50 Summilux, just don’t have the budget for that.

I have the opportunity to purchase a clean and excellent condition 246 Monochrom for $2,800 USD.

Is this a reasonable price in 2026 for this camera body?

Any particular things I should look out for when purchasing? My intention is to use it with a Canon 50mm f/1.4 LTM (adapted to M mount).

Any indication whether native Leica Look profiles will be integrated into the M11 series lineup?

The concept of minimizing post-processing and using SOOC JPEGs, while keeping DNGs for archive purposes, is very appealing.

Looking for either of these M-mount lenses in black.

Looking for optically and mechanically perfect copies only.

Dad with very fast and active kids here. Looking to purchase a X-E5 with the 23mm f/2.8 as a compact travel camera (to complement my larger Nikon Z setup).

Any advice or considerations you can share for using the 23mm f/2.8 for candid family documentary style photography?

My objective is to shoot with higher ISO, primarily in Acros (STD), and aperture priority to capture as much of the environment as possible. Subject separation is not curricula for me with this lens.

Any advice and observations on which trade out of these two is tougher from a purely physical perspective?

I’m thinking of purchasing a GRIV for family documentary purposes, with no post processing or editing required.

Would be very helpful and appreciated if anyone could share their favourite recipes they use (with examples) for family and vacation snaps.

Thanks in advance!

Jumps from ISO400 to ISO3200 on modern film stocks. Curious to know the reason for behind this.

Is it simply market demand?

Served in the CAF for several years and voluntarily released a few years ago as I got bored with the CAF.

Received a favourable determination from VAC and now receive PSC and lifetime benefits.

Can I still reapply (and obviously disclose all my medical diagnoses) and attempt to rejoin?

Looking for recommendations for reliable auto mechanics that specialize in truck suspension.

Have a pickup that I would like to upgrade the suspension and hopefully have rebuilt for life (e.g., Fox; Icon, etc.) and also do upper control arms and the entire suspension system upgrades.

Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know if Questrade plans on offering this registered account soon?

I both emailed and tried to chat with customer support and never received a reply.
