I have started a new set of subjects. It is "lenses" - which is what really makes the shot!
Yesterday ( March 12), the sun came out and after "monsoon" like downpour the locals went nuts.
This is the Nokton f1.4 Multi Coated. Leica M2 and APX 400 in FX37.

This is the old classic Nikkor 35f1.8. It is a lens that still will hold its own, even when compared to the latest glass.

The Nokton 40f1.4 from Cosina/Voigtlander is one of the great bargains as a M-mount lens. In it's multicoated version it rivals any other 35 or 50mm lens. Great substitute for both the 35 and the 50mm focal length.
