The Right Lens

After a very enlightening discussion about (among other things) the merits of using Cosina Voigtlander Rangefinder lenses on mirrorless cameras, I though I'd post another photo I took with a CV 35mm F1.4 in August (original post). I only had it mounted to my GF2 for a short while, but it is a beautiful and surprisingly compact lens. I'm looking into whether it could be a good solution for my upcoming NEX body.

I'm back in the Netherlands now, going through the photos I took in London. I chose not to post more photos from the Hotel due to the prices they were charging for logging on to the internet: enough for a Pint or two a day. That goes against my principles and there are more rewarding ways to spend money (see below).

On Thursday, I had the pleasure of being able to spend an evening with Cristian Sorega, his girlfriend and a friend of Cristian's who is also an avid photographer. So there were a lot of interesting cameras and lenses scattered on the table among the beer glasses. Even the weather played along for the few hours we were seated at an outdoor table overlooking the Thames.

I even had a chance to take some photos with a Fuji X100. The camera feels good in the hand and is smaller and lighter than I remembered. I won't comment on its operation; I think it's better not to make snap judgements based on using an unfamiliar camera for a few minutes.
