Thanks. The picture was taken at f0.95 - I just love the characteristics of resulting images. In fact the photo in the garage was taken without flash at night with just a single bulb in the garage.

This shot was taken at F 1.7, close enough, hence the very shallow depth of field.
EXIF data:
Exposure Time: 1 / 350
Flash: Flash did not fire
FNumber: 1.7
Focal Length: 50
Focal Length In 35mm Film: 50

Anything Leica results will be incredible, lenses are very very sharp, and the bokeh is beautiful!

One for DE where it belags and one for keeping your race team employed?

Nuts? I love the yellow calipers much nicer then red, just the PCCB rotors are a bit pricey. I liked them on my second RS even with PFC rotors..

Those are some interesting shots. The photos of the 4.0 look like your standard background blur from shooting wide open. I personally wouldn't consider it tilt-shift, since you're not shooting downward don't have any foreground blur.

Maybe it's just a case of an engine is a motor, but a motor isn't necessarily an engine.

Great shots! I have the same lens and love it. The f stop in the exif from M9 is an estimate from the camera so the shot could very well be taken at f/0.95 and showed up as f/1.7...
