Hi Teiki,
good to have a german speaking family member (niece) when writing/ reading in german Pentax forum.
Does she translate for you or do you understand most words?
Personally, I like darktable very much. I have no comparison with Lightroom, but with Corel AfterShotPro and I prefer darktable by far.
I think compared with Lightroom, darktable is a little bit more technical and has a higher learning curve, but the advantage is that it is very function rich.
Currently, I start learning gimp to use it in addition to darktable.
Ahh, before I forget it: Darktable is not available for windows, but for Mac and Linux.
I understand your opinion about Leica lenses. I also love the relatively small form and the very nice metal body. A little bit similar are the Pentax Limited lenses.
In the focal length of 28 mm, I recently bought a Pentax smc K 28, 3.5, which is also very nice but far cheaper than the Elmarit 28 II.
I think the Leica 28 II is a very, very nice lens, but currently too expensive for me, therefor I own the 24 mm Elmarit, which is a nice focal length on APS-C.
Besides this, I further own the Elmarit Macro 60 mm and the Summicron 50, where the Portrait pictures were made with.
Best greetings from Germany,
Ralph

Nice B&W picture from your niece and thanks for posting another example with the Summicron (I love this lens
).
Including the hands in portrait is an interesting idea. I like the effect and wish you much fun with your nice set of Leica lenses!

Hello Ralph,
I live near Spain but I am french. My niece is half french half german by her mother. She speaks perfectly german but I don't...
A lot of people uses Darktable. Is it a nice software with Pentax RAW files?
Best regards.
PS: I use Leica-R lenses because I have been using them for 20 years and I don't want to buy others. Actually, I did, but not very enthusiast since Sigma Art 50 & 35 are huge although they are fantastics. I prefer small Leica-R lenses which are very convenient to me. Besides, My prefered focal lens is 28mm and the Leica Elmarit-R 28/2.8 E55 ROM is fantastic...
I use DxO optics Pro 11 with DNG Pentax K-1 files, Photoshop CC and Lightroom 6.7...
