This week’s portrait shoot was with Kristina (Instagram). This was the first time I’ve shot with her, and it went great. I’ve cut down on my shooting, at least for the time being, since I’ve been getting busier and busier but I wanted to squeeze one last shoot in since I just wanted to use my Leica SL a bit more before I trade it in for an SL2 (which rumors say may come out in November).

Voigtlander has been releasing some really great lenses for M mount recently, and one such lens is the Color-Skopar 21mm f3.5 Aspherical. It’s an absolutely beautiful lens, and while the list price of $799 may seem like a lot, think about it this way :): the Leica equivalent, which is the Super-Elmar-M 21mm f3.4 ASPH, costs $2995. Now, the Leica 21mm is an amazing lens. There’s no doubt about that but Voigtlander lenses are also seriously getting better and better. They offer a huge bang for the buck. I reviewed the new Nokton 75mm f1.5 Aspherical lens a few weeks ago, and I still can’t stop thinking about it. It’s also worth mentioning that these lenses by Voigtlander don’t just give us a lot for the money, they actually offer us somewhat of a different look sometimes. The 75mm f1.5 I just mentioned, really has its own charms (review here), so I wouldn’t even consider them as just cheaper alternatives to Leica lenses. Anyway, let’s get started with the Color-Skopar 21mm f3.5 Aspherical. [continue reading…]
This week’s portrait set post is of Tiffany. We decided to meet up after she came back from a trip overseas, and see what we could get in terms of photos. I think we were both kind of out of it; I’ve been busy with a lot of work recently, and she was a bit jet lagged. Still, it was a good day to test with the old Leica, which is what we did.

Last weekend, I took out my Leica SL, and I caught up with Valerie. I’ve shot with her many, many times but for some reason, I don’t post much of her. Valerie is a fantastic model, and one of the sweetest people I know. I guess I just really love what we usually produce, so I tend to be more critical with the edits, which in turn, sometimes prevents me from posting haha. I know, a little odd but I’m human ;).

It’s no secret I’m a fan of Sigma lenses, and since I thoroughly enjoyed the 45mm f2.8 (review here), I thought I’d see if I could get another Sigma lens in to review. This time though, I went for something a bit different. I went for the 14-24mm f2.8 DG DN Art lens, which is a much wider focal length:). I’m in the process of reviewing it but for now, I thought I’d share my first impressions of it. [continue reading…]
