Firstly, it is assumed that to achieve this 'documentary' or 'reportage' look, all you need to do is to take an inordinate number of pictures and chances are that you will get some suitable ones in the mix. So snap away is the mentality of many inexperienced photographers.<a href="https://ephotovn.com/whiten-teeth-in-photoshop/" rel="nofollow">whiten teeth in photoshop</a><br />Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09001152979693960229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8495751177910315025.post-45368433239429059612017-08-26T00:39:46.679-07:002017-08-26T00:39:46.679-07:00nicenice<a href="http://www.suprimepapers.com/">custom research paper writing service</a>https://www.blogger.com/profile/15672965160269042931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8495751177910315025.post-21916239854907941552014-06-22T16:32:49.737-07:002014-06-22T16:32:49.737-07:00Another e-mail question I thought was worthy of sh...Another e-mail question I thought was worthy of sharing:<br /><br />Hey Take,<br /><br />Great blog and the videos have been great as well, really liked the Leica T one. <br /><br />I just have a quick lens recommendation. I want to buy a Leica T, I love primes and I do street-walk around photography. What lens would you recommend for this, The Leica 23mm f2 ( full auto af and aperture) or a voigtlander m mount lens like a 21mm f1.8 (fully manual). <br />I just want to know in terms of image quality because I don't mind a manual lens, plus the Voigtlander is a lot less expensive.<br /><br />Thanks!<br /><br />My reply:<br /> <br />Hi Pedro, <br /><br />Thanks for your email and thanks for visiting my blog and YouTube videos. For a street photographer, I think you need to find the best angle of view that you can tell your story. For me, it's between 28-35mm equivalent (or 18-23mm on APS-C format). This is more important to me than lens sharpness. As you may have noticed from my blog reviews, I rarely go into too much detail on comparing lens sharpness, although I do test it out.<br /><br />For instance, even if someone told me that lens A is sharper than lens B, I won't automatically choose the sharper lens. I want to know if I like the focal length, if I like how it renders colours and shadows, etc. If all things being equal, then lens sharpness is considered.<br /><br />The Voigtlander lenses are amazing, and if I was going to get into manual film cameras and lenses right now, I would certainly choose a Bessa body and a hand full of Voigtlander lenses (21, 28, 40). That being said, on a Leica T, I don't know how the Voigtlander lens will perform on the Leica body. The interaction between lens and sensor (and processor) decides on how the image will look overall. You would have to play with it. If you are the type to jump around between bodies and lenses every few years, think more about trade-in value and overall cost of a system.<br /><br />For me, I recommend sticking with a brand, a format, or focal length and learn to work with it. When you shoot street, you're probably going to be shooting at f/5.6-8 most of the time anyway, so both lenses will be sharp. My guess is the Leica will be sharper, but the Voigtlander will feel better manually focusing (mechanical focus versus focus by wire). Also, my assumption is that if you buy the Voigtlander, you will be scale or zone focusing, which is a great way to shoot street, especially with a prime. You won't get on-screen distance and DOF scale like you will with the Leica lens, but the lens will have that information. This is another thing to consider.<br /><br />I hope this helps. Thanks for your comment. Don't hesitate to ask more questions.<br /><br />Best regards, <br /><br />Take <br /><br />BHTBigheadtacohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07287168567380301421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8495751177910315025.post-52869631530379037842014-06-14T10:23:15.241-07:002014-06-14T10:23:15.241-07:00This e-mail comment came to me and I thought I wou...This e-mail comment came to me and I thought I would post here:<br /><br />Take......Once our beautiful warm weather retracts and the wet damp and cold winter weather approaches this all metal Leica T will be very frigid to hold ( like fishing in a aluminum boat..burrr ) and I hate add on grips, it would actually kill the symmetry of the T. Sometimes style and cool give sacrifice the practical. That's my stab at wisdom today. Enjoy the street. Gerry<br /><br />Thanks for making a good point Gerry. You're right, any metal camera, the Leica T included, won't feel so great in the winter or even wet, humid climate. I know there are leather wrap add-ons for the Leica T, but that covers up that beautiful aluminum. At the same time, I know people who love adding cases. I have an awesome leather case for my beautiful iPhone 5S, and many camera lovers always buy half-cases to protect their investment, although it does alter the aesthetics. <br /><br />Thanks again for your comment Gerry. What do the rest think? Cover up the aluminum, or not? Half-case, or no case? Grip? <br /><br />Munetake<br /><br />BHT<br /><br />Bigheadtacohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07287168567380301421noreply@blogger.com
