photo of the day: night crossing
This weekend I finally got my hands on a lens I’ve been hoping to own for some time now. The Olympus 9-18mm. On my OM-D EM-5 that is the closet to my favourite Nikon lens, the 17-35mm. I took the new (previously loved) lens for a spin during a weekend visit to Port Townsend and it felt like I found my missing glasses. Do you have a favourite lens that helps reveal the world the way you see it?
Yep, a fixed Fujinon 23mm. That’s approx. 35mm on a cropped sensor….
I also really like the 50mm focal length. (35mm on a cropped sensor)
Phew! Good thing you like a fixed Fujinon 23mm otherwise, well you know…
Feels very Edward Hopper
And yeah… I leave in 10 days and am pretty much out of my mind. lol.
It does?
10 days! Are you feeling nervous? Excited? Too busy to even notice?
In last few month, I totally discovered what my favorite lens is and what my least favorite lens is, as well. Long story short, I am in the process of changing my dx-lenses to fx-lenses (Nikon) , which means I sold all dx-lenses, and need to rebuild the collection. I started with 50 mm, and life got in a way, so it is all I have for now. I hate it, it is too wide for my “style”, and I tend to come too close to things and the lens just won’t focus. I cannot wait until I get a macro lens back in my hands! Maybe next week?
I remember when I decided move to the FX lenses and I started with the 50mm as well. Now I pretty much have the whole suite although I recently sold my 70-200mm because it was collecting dust. The only macro lens is a 50 mm I inherited from my father but I haven’t used it in a very long time either. I should pull it out and have some fun with it. Thanks for the reminder!
