Passerelle Debilly, Paris. (lens: 35mm@f1.4) Trying out my new toy at night near the Eiffel Tower.<\/p>\n<p>So, I have a new toy. I sold two of my lenses I rarely used and got a refurbished Nex-5 + 16mm f2.8 kit and a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stevehuffphoto.com\/2009\/12\/02\/the-voigtlander-nokton-35-1-4-mc-lens-review\/\">Voigtlander Nokton 35mm f1.4 MC<\/a>. What can I say about it? It&#8217;s lightweight, the Nex sensor is very good (I&#8217;d say as good as the 7D sensor), and pretty well built, even though I find the camera&#8217;s shutter noise a bit loud, so I need to be smart with external noises about when to trigger. Manual focusing with the screen is reasonably easy to do, even though I&#8217;d appreciate a viewfinder. The lens itself isn&#8217;t the sharpest I have, but it has character and brings a special something to the picture. The Voigtlander is a full manual lens, and I have similar sensation I had with <a href=\"http:\/\/rataki.eu\/pixelpost\/index.php?showimage=599\">my dad&#8217;s Pentax Super ME<\/a>. Slower picture taking, more thoughts about the framing I want and the necessity for me to move rather than to use the zoom surely change my approach to photography, and hopefully, for the best.<\/p>\n<p>Back to the picture, as I was shooting Her on the bridge, 3 guys asked if they could take pictures of her too. I realized one of them had a Leica M8.2 and a weird lens I only saw on the Internet: a rare and old <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/File:Canon_7_with_50mm_f0.95_IMG_0374.JPG\">Canon 50mm f0.95<\/a>. After 10 minutes of chatting about technical photographic and nerdy nonsense, he let me mount his lens on my Nex \ud83d\ude00 Well, I&#8217;m not sure I&#8217;m so crazy about the &#8220;dreamy&#8221; rendering of the Canon, but I was still pretty happy to try it \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1697,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"image","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25,14,44,39],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1696","post","type-post","status-publish","format-image","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-france","category-paris","category-portrait","category-street","post_format-post-format-image"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pierre.bodilis.fr\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1696","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pierre.bodilis.fr\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pierre.bodilis.fr\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pierre.bodilis.fr\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pierre.bodilis.fr\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1696"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/pierre.bodilis.fr\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1696\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1698,"href":"https:\/\/pierre.bodilis.fr\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1696\/revisions\/1698"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pierre.bodilis.fr\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1697"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pierre.bodilis.fr\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1696"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pierre.bodilis.fr\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1696"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pierre.bodilis.fr\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1696"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
