Back to Film With Cinestill 50 and my Leica M6 TTL Millennium:
I was originally going to make this one of my weekly portrait posts, since I haven’t made one of those in a while (I couldn’t really meet anyone during the pandemic). However, I haven’t shot film in a long time, so this will be a post about my recent experience shooting with my Leica M6 TTL Millennium again, and a film that is new to me at least, Cinestill 50. Things are getting better in NYC, which also means I am finally going out to shoot more. It also means I’ll have more content to post again. This is a recent social distance shoot I did with my dear friend Kristina (Instagram). [continue reading…]
Sunday Walk With The Zeiss Touit 12mm f2.8 Around Downtown NYC:
As some of you know, my weekly portrait posts have temporarily stopped until it’s safe again to meet up to shoot. I’m still posting my boudoir but it’s mainly on my Instagram page (I did quite a few shoots before the social distance orders were in place).

I usually bring my camera with me to take a few shots, and here are some from last Sunday with the Zeiss Touit 12mm f2.8. [continue reading…]

Leica Super Elmar-M 18mm f3.8 ASPH Lens Review:
If you’re looking for an M mount ultra wide angle lens, there are plenty to choose from these days. Some of the big name manufacturers for M mount lenses, like Zeiss and Voigtlander, make tons of choices. There are also smaller manufacturers that do as well. Of course, if you’re looking for something from Leica, you’re in luck because they also make quite a few to choose from now. You have the ultra fast Summilux lenses to even a lens called the Tri-Elmar, which is a rangefinder lens that can change focal lengths. Then there are the more compact lenses like the Super Elmar-M 18mm f3.8 ASPH, which is what I’ll be talking about here. This particular copy was not loaned to me for review purposes but my very own. For several years now, it’s been one of my favorite lenses to use. Let’s take a closer look. [continue reading…]
