One of the M lenses I plan to get in the future is the Leica Super-Elmar-M 21 f/3.4 ASPH. Even though it's f/3.4; it's one of the sharpest lenses out there. I'm planning to use it for interior and landscapes, paired with a mini tripod.

First two pictures, the Braun T52 , a portable radio designed by Dieter Rams in 1961. It's based on the "transistor 1" radio from 1957. You can still find some on eBay.

The two last pictures, OB-4 from Teenage Engineering (2022). A portable BT enabled speaker and radio.

I sold my beloved Fujifilm X100V and transitioned to a Leica M11. There are a lot of things that I want to talk about, so I am writing a blog post—coming soon!
