A Walk With The Samyang 8mm F2.8 Fish-Eye For The Fuji:

I knew the rest of my day was going to be pretty busy today, so I woke up really early to try the Samyang 8mm F2.8 fish-eye that I received yesterday.  I’m only going to have it for a couple of weeks but it’s definitely been a lens that I’ve been wanting to try for a long time.  I’ve heard good things about it, and best of all, it costs $299.  It’s also small, and with an aperture of F2.8, it’s pretty fast.  While it is a manual lens, it’s an ultra wide, so focusing is not too difficult.

Prospect Park With The Leica 18mm Super Elmar:

Hey everyone.  I hope you all had a great weekend.  It was a lazy Sunday for me today :).  I’m actually a little tired from yesterday’s trip to the PhotoPlus Expo.  I thought I’d post a few more images that I took with the M 240 and the 18mm Super Elmar a few days ago.  I was visiting a friend in Park Slope, and we decided to check out Prospect Park to see if we could find some fall foliage.  My friend brought along his Sony RX100, which many of you already know is a fantastic little camera.  The colors of the trees haven’t completely changed yet but we did find a few nice looking ones.

PhotoPlus Expo 2013:

Hey everone!  I went to the PhotoPlus Expo today.  I originally wasn’t sure if I wanted to go but a new friend that I recently made asked me, and it was definitely better than going along :).  She has such a passion for photography; it is quite refreshing: She loves everything about photography.  She bought a Canon 6D, and she wanted to check out some new stuff for it, so the PhotoPlus Expo was the perfect place.

A Walk Downtown With My Leica M 240 and 18 Super Elmar:

I had plans to meet a friend for lunch today, and decided to get out there a bit early to see what kind of photos I could get.  Today’s setup was the Leica M 240 and the 18 Super Elmar.  To be honest, I haven’t had time to take out my M in quite some time because I’ve been busy moving things around in my apartment/cleaning/etc.  In other words, I feel like I need to change things up a bit.  But it definitely felt good to take the M out along with my 18mm because it’s the latest lens in my collection, and a lens I haven’t used as much as I would’ve liked.
