![]() ![]() ![]() Honestly if you shoot street photography or most forms of everyday photography, you don’t need more than f/5.6. ![]() Innovation means to ‘breathe into’ - so I see innovation as taking something old, and breathing new life into it. They went ‘back to the future’ and took the older classic design, and breathed new life into it. The ‘new’ retro Leica 28mm f/5.6 Summaron lens is pretty fucking badass. Also kind of like how if we want to look more physically attractive and strong, we want to thin our stomach. Just like how thinner iPhones are better– every new version of an iPhone strives to get thinner. Pancakes are the best lenses for photographers, because any lens that is thinner is better. I grew up loving pancakes– specifically blueberry pancakes from my mom. Why pancake lenses are delicious for a photographer’s breakfast We would focus more on deep depth, compositional layers, and emotional depth of soul. I genuinely believe if most photographers today shot at f/8, we would make better photos. They only shot ‘wide open’ when there wasn’t enough light for their film. Truly great photographers like Henri Cartier-Bresson and Josef Koudelka shot mostly between f/3.5 and f/8. Shooting with bokeh or wide-open is a lazy way to try to make more interesting photos (by blurring out everything in the background). I used it on my friend’s camera, and it is smaller, lighter, sharper, and more badass. If you’re rich, get the LEICA 50mm f/2 APO lens (8000 USD) instead of a Summilux or a Noctilux (.95 50mm). Leica M9, 35mm, f/16, flash at night, SF 20. They think that they want to shoot everything wide open at f/1.4 - and they end up hating their lives, because the lenses are fucking heavy, and shooting wide-open gets old after a while.Įven when you are shooting portraits, you want to shoot at least f/2 to get enough of the face, eyes, or eye lashes sharp. The biggest sucker mistake a lot of photographers who get into LEICA is that they buy expensive SUMMILIX (f/1.4) lenses. Don’t buy f/1.4 lenses Leica 50mm f/2 APO Lens (8000 USD) I currently think the LEICA 35mm f/2.4 ASPH (silver) is the best designed (in terms of proportions, build quality, sharpness, compactness, weight, and red lettering on silver) lens out there. ![]()
