Taken 3 days ago with the famed Canon 50mm f/0.95 when the usual gang when to Labrador park. Shooting almost directly into the sun. A bit of lens flare across the frame if you can see it.

Not an easy lens to use, but the nice dreamy effect is something that a lot of the modern gear can't seem to deliver. Maybe it's just a hazy lens! Ha Ha!

Cheers,

Yo Mon! Check dis out!

Shot on my brand new Panasonic LX3!!! Got it last week and took it out for a spin this week.

Anyway, we went down to Peninsula today as John was going to pick up his Xpan! Yup. He's going to give rangefinders a shot. Chii Fel returned me the Canon 7s with the 50mm f/0.95. Yiming 'inherited' the monster for the day and had some fun with it when we went to Labrador Park.

Oh, the image is cropped in Xpan format (65:24) in commemoration of John's new camera.

Almost everything is made in China these day. When will Leica be made in China as well?

My new book - Leica Copies!

Leica Copies + Canon P + 35mm f/2.8 LTM, originally uploaded by benny ng.

Leica Copies by HPR, shot together with Canon P and 35mm f/2.8 LTM.

Got a copy of the out of print Leica Copies by HPR with the help of Michael. Quite an interesting read as it contains a lot of information about the other cameras that 'referenced' the old Leica screw mount barnacks. Usually, information about these cameras are pretty hard to come by.

Cheers,

What a mess!!!!

We were suppose to go shooting. John was late and it was going to rain. So it's Coke, Cookies and Cameras instead. Oh what a mess!!!

Leica Fashion!

You might have the Leica bag, the Leica cap, the Leica T Shirt, or even the Leica keyring...but do you have this!?



Seems to be a Leica USA commerative issue for some event. Interesting, but I don't think I'll be sporting it even if it was given to me. But I might hang a D-Lux 4 around my neck if Leica is so kind enough to give me one... Ha!

Cheers,

p.s. Not an April Fools Joke. This buckle really exist!
