Today with the very little 15mm f/8 body cap lens. It's sharp in the center and soft on the edges, so it's good for a specific look or a snapshot style lens where you want to carry the smallest thing you can on a decent sensor and not have to think about focusing or such. Otherwise it's sort of a fun novelty. I have a feeling I'll mostly use it shooting B&W JPEG for those times I really don't want to think about any of that stuff.
Jordan interesting. It is not a lens that I would have looked at, being in the uk f8 is very restrictive. Yes can see it for street shooting in favorable conditions.
^^^^^ completely agree! Julian, your photos are phenomenal man. Great eye and the texture, colors, expressions, moments in your photos are wonderful! Keep inspiring us please

Good! you shouldn't resist!
Yes we do live quite far apart but it seems as if though humans have a weird habit of creating very similar things all over the world even though they may never have met
This gave me a little idea for a new thread, maybe we should do a shoot out and copy each others subjects as closely as we can? Will have to think about it some
The Photographer's Eye: (mine, in this case). Self eye portraits aren't that easy.
OM-D with Olympus 60mm f/2.8 macro @ f/9, off camera flash. Unfortunately, the reflection of my eyelashes showed up in the frame, but I need to be able to see the lighting (which I can't on a self portrait) to figure out how to eliminate it and still get texture (I'm sure more direct flash would get rid of it).
Really looking deep into the eye there, Jordan! I don't think I have ever seen that kind of detail in an eye shot, much less self-taken. Yeah, very difficult to do - I know...
A little freaky, as it looks like your eyes are made out of paper-mache!
