I looked at the full list and picked my faves before seeing your choices.. Condo Castle is one.. Odd thing about my eyes and the fire Exit... at first glance, before my eyes adjust to the screen glare.. the shrubbery looked like a crouching dog peeking around a corner at the fire exit and it's large size in the frame I attributed to you shooting very wide angle.

I'm noticing a fair amount of vignetting.. which I hope is your lens and not my eyes.

Another fun set of photos from lens testing with the Leica M10 Monochrom ... I saw a review on the 
Lomography "Lomo LC-A Minitar Art Lens 32mm f/2.8" that piqued my curiosity. This is a 
small, light, inexpensive lens, same or similar, I believe, to what is fitted on the 
"infamous" Lomo 35mm compact camera, housed in a metal M-mount with rangefinder coupled 
focusing. It has a (cheap) simple diaphragm mechanism, and a similarly (cheap) click-stopped 
focusing lever. It makes the M4-2 or M10-M pretty small and light ... not so much so as the MS 
Optics Aporia 24mm f/2, nor is it up to the same build quality or optical quality, but then it's 
less than a quarter the price.

Anyway it piqued my curiosity and was cheap enough that I felt I should give it 
a try. I went out for two walks with it fitted to the M10-M and pulled together 
a little album of 19 photographs that I found interesting out of what I'd 
exposed.

A few of the exposures that I like:

   Condo Castle - Santa Clara 2022 :: https://flic.kr/p/2o1HUN1
   Fire Exit - Santa Clara 2022 :: https://flic.kr/p/2o1HxYs
   Banister and Railing - Santa Clara 2022 :: https://flic.kr/p/2o1HUPD

Here's the gallery of all 19 Minitar test photos…
