Fifty Fifty

52Frames - Week 32 - Macro

My macro lens is a 50mm F2.8 Sony and I used it to shoot this 50mm F2 Leica Summitar, a lens manufactured in 1948 that I'm thinking about adding to my collection of M-mount lenses.

Illusion Confusion

What's in front and what's behind?

Or is it all in front in a different space and time?

Peel the seam from left to right and the lens becomes a confusing sight.

I Made...

52Frames - Week 18 - Something I Made

...A Purchase!

I love my FF Sony kit, but sometimes I just don't like the bulk of the larger lenses.  After looking at some M mount lenses for my friend's Leica, I contracted a serious case of G.A.S. and acquired two full frame Voigtlander lenses with an adapter for Sony E-mount.

This photo is a composite as I used each lens to capture a photo of the other.  Left is a 28mm F2 and right is a 40mm F2.8.
