My entry to this club.

I really, really love the M lenses. The whole love affair began when I got the 35mm f/2 and 85mm f/2 from my father. He had photographed my childhood with these two gems and now I can do the same for my kids. Got so swept away that I also got the 50mm f/1.4 and 120mm f/2.8 to complement them.

I really like your way of post-processing, Christian. Nice contrast, colors. Good job!

I know that these flare ups are technically "bad" but I like them, when I get them right, to me, they're very enjoyable to look at. And you are right, I do have to increase contrast and color, as the flares create havoc on the original raws... and usually mess up the white balance as well! But honestly it's only a 2 minute job in Corel Aftershot Pro. I really should get more into PP work.
