Going to Miami, Florida in mid-November is a wonderful getaway from the usual Pennsylvania early-winter weather.  My wife had a work conference to attend so I tagged along. While she was attending the conference, I became familiar with the Miami-Dade public transit system and went exploring.

Over a few days, I visited South Beach, Coral Gables area, Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park and some other random places.  My kit consisted of my usual Fujifilm X-Pro3 and 3 lenses; a Voigtlander 23mm f/1.2, Laowa 9mm f/2.8 and a Fuji 16-80mm f/4 zoom.  My favorite lens to use has been the Voigtlander 23mm.  It just feels ‘right’ on the X-Pro3.

While walking around the Coral Gables area, I stopped in the Leica Miami store to get my first hands on experience with a Leica M rangefinder camera.  If it wasn’t for the huge cost of the system, I’d have walked out with an M11 and a 35mm Summicron.  One day I will have a Leica M.

The weather was great, the scenery spectacular and the time there too short.
