Updates from LeicaLand –
- (NEW) “Metal Grey” Leica M11-P, Leica Q3 and Leica D-Lux8 cameras – Leica release their new Metal Grey cameras together with a Metal Grey Leica 50/2 APO lens.
- (NEW) 7Artisans / Seagull 35mm f1.7 (M) – A new collaboration from the long established optical company Seagull (you might know the name from Seagull TLR cameras) in collaboration with 7Artisans. This is a limited production lens, only 500 units. I’m interested to see how it performs compared to lenses like the Funleader Artizlab 35mm f1.4 and Mandler 35mm f2.
- (NEW) Light Lens Lab 75mm f1.5 “Z21” (M) – LLL have just released another new 75mm lens. This is a longer version of the LLL 50mm f1.5 Z21 lens which sold out. I’m currently enjoying this lens for creative portraits. YouTube video to follow.
- (UPDATE) 7Artisans 35mm f2.8 (M+LTM) – If you’ve seen the latest YouTube video I compare this lens to the 28mm and 40mm Voigtlander LTM lenses.
- (UPDATE) Light Lens Lab 50mm f1.9 “Rigid-ZS6” (M) – A pretty lens when paired with a silver Leica M camera and I love the blue lens coating. At first glance this looks like their Leica Summicron 50mm f2 Rigid remake but the optics are actually based on the Dallmeyer Super Six lens. This gives a really nice classic rendering (and pop in the right conditions) plus swirly bokeh. (The bokeh reminds me of the Pre-ASPH Leica Summilux 50mm f1.4 which is great). YouTube video to follow.
- (UPDATE) Voigtlander APO-Skopar 75mm f2.8 VM (M) – I have this lens with me to for review and first impressions are, it’s excellent. Small, lightweight and sharp. I’ve not compared it to the Voigtlander Nokton 75mm f1.5 VM yet but expect a positive review coming on YouTube. (If you’re based in the UK you can find this lens at Robert White).
Printing is making me shoot differently
If you saw the recent extending the “Leica Magic” video, I’m loving my new printer. Instead of only posting images on platforms like Instagram and Flickr, I’m now producing tangible prints that I can physically hold.
What I didn’t expect is that buying a printer would make me start shooting differently. Having physical prints in my hand is making me appreciate and see more nuanced details in daily life. Textures and tones ranges in nature for example keep catching my eye.
Owning a printer means I can now get really creative, not only with photo prints but printing also sorts of custom printables like thank you notes, cards, certificates for my limited prints, labels and more. See my new Print Store for inspiration on how I’m using the printer or to grab a Matt Osborne Original print.
