from up in the sky. Pictures taken in an "oldtimer", with my Leica M9 and D-Lux5 and converted to B&W. I already miss my M9 which I sent in to Leica, already 20 days ago ... Thanks for looking! Oliver ...  

to fly with that plane. Never thought one can fly that close to the mountains and especially not with such an old one. I highly recommend the plane part ;-) Cheers, Oliver

that sensor trouble, but it is not verified yet. I know that there is something wrong on my sensor and I hope they can/will fix it as part of the current "good will program", but I am not sure. Did you check your sensor recently? Best, Oliver

Love the feel in your shots, I get a kind of Indiana Jones wibe....! :) Best Blomman

:-) Thanks a lot! Oliver

IWC used a series of 100x35cm photos the Junkers Ju 52 and Spitfire to advertise their watches... I was lucky enough to get the series and three of them hung on my office wall for many years... now at home... The Junkers is certainly a classic and what a ... 

It is still like this, but unfortunately quite a lot of things have changed. Good or bad, depends on your point of view. But the flight was gorgeous :-) Thanks! Oliver

I have flown over the Swiss Alps in a small plane, but to do it in a Ju52 must add to the already beautiful experience... BTW, here's my connection with the company, taken a few years ago and on the wrist today... I also still have the lenses pictured her...  

from IWC (pre Kern era) and it still looks good today. Best, Oliver

Thanks Fernando, but a few are nice (to my eyes) in color as well ... Cheers, Oliver ...  

Is that junkers 52 your riding Oliver? I guess the view from above is great and to ride an iconic plane must be a pleasant experience. happy new year oliver , thanks for the very informative posts. cheers Geross

Best to you as well and thanks for your reply! Oliver

... and really great pictures Oliver. As a kid i remember a flight in a passenger plane with props from Antwerp to Amsterdam, i think it was KLM. At the age of 15 i had the opportunity to go flying in a DC-3 Dakota ... THAT was an experience :-) Thanks fo...

.. unfortunately we didn't meet ... though i was going to visit Berlin but something came in between :-( ... . Maybe this year in Paris ? Happy new year mein freund !! Filip

First of all, wonderful atmospheric photos Oliver. Regarding the M9 sensor issue, I was caught up early in this problem. I noticed spots on my images and sent my M9 for sensor cleaning in August 2013 but was told I needed a new sensor which was replaced f... 

Never tried the new one, but don´t miss that much and love the results I got so far - at least, most of the time. It took them seven month to fix it? I seriously hope it will be quicker in my case, because I miss to handle/shoot my rangefinder :-) Cordial...
