It has gone everywhere with me and the results I have got have really pleased me so far. It&#8217;s really hard work compared to an SLR. Getting focus spot on and the framing right is hard. Exposure too is really tricky. But that is what makes it so rewarding when they do work&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Lens wise I have mostly just used my Voigtlander 50mm F1.1 and 35mm F1.4&#8230;The 35mm pretty much lives on the camera.<\/p>\n<p>Below are some of my photos so far that I have taken with it&#8230;.I definitely love black and white, hence I have tweaked almost all to black and white. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Go to my
