Hey Hexar AF

It wasn't really something that i wanted, but everyone has a copy and everyone brags about how good this camera is.

So when Eddy informed me about a deal on Carousell by AlexFoto, i bought it. Immediately i went testing how good this camera function under low light, and i was impressed. Most of the night shots were shot at 1/15...its amazing how fast and sharp the camera performed.


 




And they did say that, it performed even better on BNW film. Well, we shall see.

This camera might just pair well with my Bronica Setup for a trip!

DownSizing my collection

It all started when i realised that i don't shoot as much as i did before and canon lenses started to give me some maintenance issue when you don't use the lens. Typical fog and haze will start building up in the lenses and the maintenance is an issue.
I guess the wonderful idea of dry cabinet apparently does not solve the issue. It only slow down the process but not a total preventive control.

Well and so, i started selling my collection, trimming everything to a few pieces that i would love to use and often bring it overseas with me.

For now, I am thinking of keeping the Summaron, Summitar,  Canon 35mm f2, Canon 50mm f1.4, Nikkor 5cm f2 and thats about it.

While the market is slow in buying, i guess its a matter of time the rest get sold.

So, goodbye Canon

Probably the most worthy photos to share is this pic with the island kids playing at the waterfall...

I guess, i finally found the right use for my sjcam 5000+ action camera and its seriously convenient!

Now im thinking if i should invest in a Gopro...

The Canon 25mm f3.5 LTM

The legendary lens that they call it rare, but in fact, i didnt had a hard time searching for this piece and I had a fair bit of discount for it.

Some may treat it as a treasure, some just took it as another Color Skopar 25mm...

But I'm glad that i managed to get this.


The lens is much more compact compared to the skopar, and the built of it makes it feel really good!

The Canon 28mm f3.5 LTM set

I didnt really like the 28mm range so, buying a 28mm is never in my consideration.
However this deal was so good that i cannot refuse, so I ended up adding this piece into my collection.

Pictures from Canon 35mm f2.8 & Summaron 35mm f2.8

My take with the Summaron & Canon on the same roll..

Summaron 35mm f2.8








Canon 35mm f2.8








Pictures are taken at f2,8. Clearly the Summaron work alot better! Sharper, details finer, contrast and overall tonality is much nicer compared to the Canon...But at a fraction of the price, the Canon is already performing above expectation.

I would love to own a Summaron...
