Finding a little love for the Minolta MD 35-70/3.5 Macro. This lens is a gem and it's lighter than the Zeiss Contax. I really like the output and while it may not be quite to the Zeiss Contax level it's pretty darn close. BTW - this was shot at f/8.

Thanks for your kind words. I think they are both great. If I had to have only one, I would choose the Voigtlander. The Loxia is just as sharp and is as contrasty—great drawing style for landscape. The Voigtlander is more versatile with its macro capability and is better corrected for CA. I think the Voigtlander has a more neutral coloration than the Loxia lenses (certainly more neutral than the Loxia 50, at any rate). All that having been said, both are great lenses, and if I am not needing macro, I will take one or the other based upon focal length as any other difference between them is of lesser importance.

I've just been stunned by the color rendering of the Voigtlander. I only had the Loxia 85 briefly and decided to go with the ZM for size and a focal length I just don't shoot very often even though I like it. I'm thinking maybe going to a 100mm with the Voigtlander like maybe the C/Y 100/3.5. Funny, I owned that lens for a time as well!

I cannot disagree with you. The Voigtlander 65/2 is as good a lens as has been made for FE mount for what I can tell—just terrific—sharp from wide open, flat field, plenty of contrast, no distortion, neutral color, well corrected, and lovely to use. What’s not to like? The Loxia 85 is no slouch, tho. As for 100mm, I cannot comment on the C/Y 100/3.5 as I have never used one. Will look forward to enjoying the fruits of your labor with whatever lens you end up with! 😀

It seems ironic (or tragic) when one thinks of the great French photographers (including Eugène Atget, Robert Doisneau, and Willy Ronis) who made wonderful pictures in public places without having to worry about getting consent. This New York Times article, titled Protecting the Right to Photograph, or Not to Be Photographed discusses the issue in depth.It's a conundrum. I've generally found that people in '3rd world countries' generally seem to display far less angst to having their photo taken (not applicable to Morocco !), in some they are even keen, whilst in the 'West' people are far more reticent, or likely to be aggressively against, having their shot taken, especially men. However without taking candid shots there would be almost no commentary on life in the 21st C in those countries/cities.

Your point that without candid shots there would be no record or commentary of everyday life is one of the factors that motivates me to photograph people in public places. The French culture minister made the same argument in the NYT article I linked to when she “argued that it was unacceptable to prevent professional photographers from sharing their vision of the world with future generations.”
“Without them, our society doesn’t have a face,” she said. “Because of this law, we run the risk of losing our memory. This is even more unacceptable when you consider what’s going on online, where millions of images circulate without us knowing how they were taken and in what circumstances.”
I’d suggest that stripping out all (or nearly all) of the context by standing back with a long lens represents the same failure of nerve as taking pictures of people’s backs. But there are exceptions, such the photo taken from behind of pedestrians crossing a street that René Nadler (xwing15) posted on page 2490, which I regard as beautiful, expressive, and truthful.

Jonathon, you are correct. The basis of this law is to protect people's private lives. But, in this instance, the piano player was playing in public, so he could not claim that a picture was invading his private life. Still, had he signalled his opposition, I would have deleted the picture. On the contrary, he "played along" to the mutliple photographers there (it was a Meetup), some of whom got much, much closer to him than I did (wimp!)BTW I was 'taught' that when taking street shots you should always be shooting people's faces unless there is a specific reason for the shot...Show more →

Jonathon, you make excellent points. I hope Françoise Nyssen can do something about changing the law. But, at the same time, seeing people "in the public eye" hounded like animals is something that I find repulsive.... there is a fine line....

For my 2,000th post I thought I should actually share an image. While dramatic light makes for beautiful photos, I think fog is my favorite condition to shoot in. This was in Bar Harbor, Maine and taken with my A7 and FE 55.
