[Leica] New Lens

[leica_r8 at hotmail.com (Aram Langhans)]

Thanks, Phillippe.  Now if I had models like that.....

Well, my wife would leave me, so not worth it.

I bought it hoping to get a different perspective on things.  After all, how 
many photos of Yosemite falls can you get?  (Don't have to answer that).  I 
am going to take photos of things I always take photos of and see if 
anything looks good with a soft lens, or even a pinhole.  I loved doing 
pinhole camera in school with the kids.  Physics project to calculate the 
ideal size of the pinhole for the designated box, then make and measure the 
pinhole an see how it works.

I got lazy and just bought the pinhole "lens", when it gets here.

Well looks more like flare than a lack of sharpness or wrong focus
here tonight.

Also reminiscent of David Hamilton,

and some of my own shots with a fourth party telelens on the Spotmatic
F in the early 70 ...


Keep clicking and experimenting, I'm sure there are circumstances when
your $24 asset will be the needed trump :-)

Amiti?s
