back to the future!

So, I've taken the bold decision to go back to a rangefinder camera system. Sony gear with hundreds of features and buttons to match, has been replaced with an older but in my view classic and simpler camera system, and the lenses are tiny by comparison. A slower, more considered approach is now required which hopefully will force me into a different creative mindset  and will certainly reduce the number of images I take and therefore post-process; not a bad thing!   Follow my progress over the next 12 months as I adjust to photographic life without autofocus, image stabilisation and face detection et al!

going wide

28/10/2025

 
When changing my equipment I opted for a general 35mm lens and a much wider 25mm wide angle lens which will be used mostly for landscapes.  The lens made by Zeiss is quite compact and has a useful maximum aperture of f2.8.  These are some of the first images taken.  I'm also looking forward to trying it out for street photography.
