Emmanuel Enyinwa 0 Posted May 15, 2011 The Leitz 135 Elmarit, one of the best lenses ever made, is a manual focus lens from the 1970s, a slow cumbersome, heavy truck of a lens that demands a slow, meticulous handling. What this means in English is that it is one big headache to use, especially when one is used to ultra-compact, auto everything modern DSLR zooms. I acquired this little ditty from a guy earlier this year, and when I actually nail the focus, especially with a moving object like Gabriel, the results are often quite impressive. The rest of the time, it is not totally unlike being married to the frigid supermodel, if you catch my drift. Your comments, of course, are always welcome. Link to comment
hstelljes 41 Posted May 15, 2011 Marvelous intro Emmanuel. I'm not familiar with that lens but the results speak for themselves. Such clarity in a moving subject is nice to behold. Great colors as well. Take care.Sincerely,Holger Link to comment

Jack McRitchie 150 Posted May 18, 2011 Good one, Emmanuel. I really like the bright central splash of orange . It grabs your attention right away and then your gaze slides easily over to Gabe's face. Not your typical composition but the strong color works very well here. Link to comment
