I recently exchanged my Leica 75mm lens (which is an overpriced heap of rubbish) for a Zeiss 50mm 1.5. Yesterday’s spring like weather was an ideal opportunity to try this out on a family trip to Oxford.
I do not know any of the people in these images and the aim was therefore to remain as ‘invisible’ as possible. Most of these were taken with the camera around waist/chest level with zone focusing.
This was a very useful exercise and makes me realise, as photographers, how spoilt we are with zoom lenses and Auto Focus. Below are some of my favourites
