Lomo LC-A MINITAR Art Lens 32mm – Quick User Review
Voigtlander VM 15mm Version iii – User Preview
Voigtlander VM 15mm Version iii on Leica M240
About a year ago, I started to review my photography style, well, it not the style of photos, it is the way how I shoot. The feeling of that I want to get closer to my subjects, therefore I started to use wider angle lenses. I bought the Voigtlander 12mm Version ii last year (read my tiny reivew here:Voigtlander 12mm Version ii preview ), and I have shot many photos with that lens. I will write a follow-up review on that lens, and let’s talk about this fantastic 15mm lens for now.

This is an very good, and very easy to find, more importantly, it’s an very very cheap lens.

This lens it’s very interesting lens. The first time I heard about this lens it was about more than a years ago from an old friend. I don’t know how he knew this lens before most of the people, might be because he was born at the Fujian, which the place that Lens been designed and made. 😀 (I don’t think this is the real reason.) He told me some characters about this lens, and showed me some photos he took with he Sony Nex camera, it got my attention straight away.
Zhongyi Mitakon 50mm F0.95 User Review
Sony A7 with Zhongyi Mitakon 50mm F0.95
First of all, I need to apologize for the late appearance of this follow up report. In my last Zhongyi Mitakon 50mm F0.95 VS 50mm Noctilux 0.95 preview, I said I will do a follow up review on this lens. I have been so busy for past months, but anyway, here is the follow up review.
Zhongyi Mitakon 50mm 0.95 Preview ( Test VS Leica 50mm Noctilux 0.95)
Camera: Sony A7
Lens: Zhongyi (Mitakon) 50mm 0.95 and Leica 50mm Noctilux 0.95.
There were some rumors going around before this lens publicly announced. When I heard about it, I knew this is going to be true, because Zhongyi (some people called Mitakon, but actually they named Zhongyi) has released a 35mm F0.95 for Fujifilm X Mount and Sony Next mount. But that crazy lens only for ASP-C sensors only.
After they have tell the public they are going to release this lens for full frame FE mount. I asked my friend in China ordered one, and also ordered an Sony A7 as well. This lens only avaliable for Sony FE mount (Full Frame E-mount), yes, I bought a Sony A7 just for this lens. I think this Zhongyi 50mm F0.95 lens might help the sales for Sony A7 series cameras a bit.

Leica M Monochrom 第一次上手的一些感觉
Leica M Monochrom（下面简称Leica MM)2012年5月刚发布的时候，我真的没有什么兴趣。当时觉得又是徕卡创造一个新的玩物来赚用户的钱，因为当时的我觉得，任何的数码相机可以后期将照片转换成为黑白的，为什么还要花8000块美金来买一台只能拍黑白的相机？更何况，Leica MM跟M9p有太多的相同的地方，差不多的CCD感光芯片，同样的测光系统，同样的处理器，同样的电池，就连菜单都是一样的。
可是当时在上个月拿起这个相机的时候，我发现我之前错了。
在这之前，我一直都用M9p,然后偶尔用M7拍拍胶片。六月份本地最大的一家胶片销售商打折，所有冲洗都半价。当时就把冰箱里面的彩色胶片都拍完了，只剩下了一些黑白的胶片。其实，作为一个摄影爱好者，很多时候对摄影的喜欢只是因为那种感觉让你欢喜。当时就顺势多拍了一些黑白的胶片，因为自己感觉对按下快门之后用导片拨杆一拉的感觉喜欢，就拍了不少。
等胶片都冲洗出来后，反而我对黑白的胶片更加的喜欢了。然后就有些无法自拔，随着自己库存黑白胶片都逐渐拍完了，就想说用数码来模拟一下。可是不管我怎样后期，我都无法把我M9p,D800的照片变成胶片的感觉。包括我的那台富士X Pro-1，富士一直都以生产胶片盛名，可是X Pro-1机内的胶片模拟无法让我解毒。在那个时候，我开始慢慢关注Leica MM。
还好身边玩摄影的朋友不少，喜欢徕卡的也有一些。那个周末就从一个朋友那里借来了他的monochrom，用了一个礼拜。
那天跟他还有另外一个朋友去一个酒吧喝东西，下面这图是我用monochrom拍的第一张照片。
