Canon 35mm f1.8 ltm

Dante Stella called this an under appreciated lens, while many others hunt for the better Canon 35mm f2 ltm lenses, i thought i should try to give this lens a try...and seriously took me a long search to find one that is reasonably priced and optically clean.

According to Dante Stella, this lens is a Planar type, single coated and 11 aperutre blades.It has good sharpness without being too contrasty.


The seller bundled it with the original hood and yellow filter.


Fit nicely on my VT Deluxe




Back to the images, i agree with Dante's review, its indeed sharp yet less contrasty...it tend to render a nice smoothness when shoot at f1.8..

Will show more pictures of it, in my next entry.

Surprises

Found a roll of film that was long forgotten...

I didnt even recall what went thru the rolls even after looking at the picture.

Leica M4-P

We live in an age where unnecessary things become a part of life....don't you agree?

My first encounter with a M4-P was during my trip to Shangri-la where i met a fellow photographer who was using it. His copy was quite battered up yet functioning fine which portrays a strong character in the camera itself that makes you wonder the journey and stories behind it.
Don't we just wish to own a camera like that? My R2A was simply lacking this....

Well, the M4-P is always in my mind since then. Nothing about its functionality, nothing about its history, its just a feeling and perception that stay in my mind and i wanted to own a copy like that.

That was 2 years ago, and i couldnt convince myself to get a copy until lately which i fell into the evil bay trap and so here i have a user copy of the M4-P one day in my mail box...



And so, i have found a rangefinder that i will bring with me on journeys. Have you found yours?
