The Leica 35-70mm f4.0 R series ROM lens is very neutral and has good sharpness across the frame from f4.0 onward. I liked working with it this afternoon and was happy to have a high performing zoom lens that didn't weigh as much as a bag of groceries. Some will point out the limited focal length range as a "fault" or a "fail" but for me it's a nice imposition of guard rails. I love that middle ground a lot more than I love the wides and long telephoto lenses....
Nice weather in Austin and very happy that the crowds for Formula One and Austin City Limits Music Festival have now decamped and moved on. More chocolate cake for the rest of us...
Samples from today's quick lens test. Far away, close up and everything in between. Should be especially good for Mannequin Photography. Much Punctum...
See the 100% crop just below..... really. The lens has no problem rendering detail.
And it looks cute...
New series: Aqua Silhouettes. Bucket hat represented.
Fall means that a few days between now and the end of the year will
be below the 90s...
I am coming to the Halloween party as myself.
That should be scary enough.
Glad to see! The Nikkor 35-70 was a favourite of mine. I will have to try it on my Lumix S series camera.
