Yeah. I really like the M240. But how is that Carl Zeiss 35mm f2.0 ZM lens working? Well, I shot the two together today to find out. Take a peek. Click to see them large. G'Night.

 

Damn fine color and detail in this particular shot of a very familiar subject. 

Punch in to see it at its best. 

Do different cameras affect the way you shoot in different ways? I think so. They make you look for different subjects. And different ways of photographing.

 

I Love composing with the bright frame lines of a real rangefinder camera. It's different than EVFs and pentaprism finders. You get to see past the edges. You get a taste of what else you can exclude or include in a shot. You aren't stopped cold because you see some fault more clearly with an image preview. So you shoot and hope for the best. Then you might have to fix stuff in post. But if you'd been coerced into passing by an image because a preview told you it wasn't working when your eyes clearly saw that it was you don't even get a shot to play with. Maybe you can't save it but....maybe you can.
