Q&A: My lenses.
One of the more frequent email questions I receive is:
What lenses do you use?
Most of the time, it’s easy to tell if you follow my daily posts, because I list the specific lens (and camera) used beneath each image.
However, I’ve been known to frequently re-jig my set-up — as I’ve done recently.
So, currently, I’m using:
1. The Leica 50mm Summilux ASPH.
2. The Leica 50mm Summicron.
3. The Voigtländer Nokton 40mm.
And…
If you want to view images taken with any of the equipment I’ve ever used, you can search for specific lenses in the Category Cloud. It looks like this:
You can find it on the bottom of the page…
Just click on a specific category (link) and all the images associated with it will be displayed.
Hope that helps,

Recognize this moment.
By the time I recognize this moment
This moment will be gone
But I will bend the light, pretend that it somehow lingered on….
And I will wait to find
If this will last forever…
And I will pay no mind
When it won’t, and it won’t, because it can’t
It just can’t
It’s not supposed to

Levels.
This shot is unsuccessful.
The scene is from the lobby of the Royal York Hotel in Toronto where an interesting vantage point is afforded by the arrangement of the floors and spiral staircases – it sets up an almost Escher-like effect on the brain.

My goal was to capture the bustling movement of people, on each level, including the connecting staircase. The first strike against success was the lens – I had a 50mm, and I needed a 35mm. Consequently, the frame is tilted in order to try to “fit” more of the scene into the field of view (this somewhat contributes to the general visual disorientation so it’s not such a bad thing). The second – and more fatal – strike was that, despite the constant flow of human traffic, there was never any satisfactory simultaneous distribution of people amongst the levels. Despite waiting for it to happen, it never materialized.
Still, I kept this shot as a token for my efforts. I do like the fact that the man in mid-step (bottom right) has spotted me, despite being two levels beneath me.
