In June 2022 I sold my kit of GM lenses and began exclusively using Voigtländer manual primes. I found I greatly prefer their size, weight, haptics, appearance, price, and especially their rendering. I don't leave home without my A7C and adapted VM Nokton 40 f/1.2. The joy and ease I find in this relatively discreet and versatile combo means I always have my camera on me to capture the spontaneous, candid moments I value most. However, I also have steady hands, 20/15 vision, and zero interest in shooting wildlife or sports. I think the value of AF--especially today's lightning-fast and accurate AF lenses--is self-evident and requires no defense. That being said, the manual focus lenses I use are certainly the right tools for me, and after 15 months of shooting them exclusively, I never find myself thinking AF would improve my work, or make me enjoy taking photos more.
Very nice. Which lens did you use for picture of the cricket? You mentioned the forty, but that picture looks like a longer focal length, maybe?
Nice work.
