GF1, f1.4, 1/1600, ISO 400, RAW, 80mm

A few days ago I received my m-mount adapter for the GF1 and yesterday I borrowed a Voigtländer Nokton 40mm f1.4 lens to try with the adapter. Due to the crop this lens becomes a 80mm lens but it feels and looks great, thi is how lenses are supposed to look and not like the modern lenses which only have the infinite focus ring around the lens.
I sure hope that manufacturers and here especially Ricoh will abandon the silly focus-by-wire systems and produce lenses with proper manual focus rings and maybe even aperture rings around the lens barrel.

The picture shows a bit the quality you get with this lens at f1.4. One thing to note though is that I have edited the file a bit and added some vignetting.
Also something to be aware of is that the distance markings on the lens don’t work with the GF1 and adapter and you can focus over infinity.
Still, it is great fun to be able to use so many lenses on the GF1 and to get a different character from each lens.

Before the Dawn

GRD III, f4, 3 sec, ISO 400, RAW

I had to catch an early fight so while walking to get the bus I came across this churchyard. The light was very strange, especially what the camera made out of it. At first I thought of using it in b&w but decided against it, instead I tweaked the white balance a bit more to get these quite surreal colors.

The Time Will Come

LC1, f2, 1/20, ISO 100, JPG b&w, 28mm

Went around Kings Cross to take pictures today. I always thought there is nothing worth taking pictures of in the area but there are a few nice hidden places around. Like the Old St. Pancras church where I took this picture.
The LC1 is a very nice camera for the weekend, would not want to carry it around every day and the AF is still way too slow.
