Gear Update at PhotographsbyPeter.com.

Inspiration, Q&A

It is with regret that I announce the Leica 35 Summilux FLE has decided to leave PhotographsbyPeter.com to pursue other projects.   This change will be effective August 2, 2015.

Please join me in recognizing the 35/1.4 FLE for its valuable contributions to PhotographsbyPeter.com.

In its time on this site, the Leica 35 Summilux FLE made a positive difference with its image rendering (though it sometimes struck viewers as a little too bold and busy).  It is therefore with warmest personal regards that I wish this lens every success in its endeavours with another photographer.

Subsequent to this change and as I assemble replacement gear, the Leica 50 Summilux ASPH will take on an expanded role.  However — as always — its use will be restricted to within approximately 200 feet of my house.

Please therefore join me in wishing the 50 Summilux ASPH much success in its new and expanded role.

Sincerely,

—Peter.

Taking a break.

2015, Favourite, Inspiration, Leica M9(P)/M-E (CCD Lives!), Portrait, Street, Undisclosed Lens #2

During our evening walk.

This image was taken as a test shot.

In all the years I’ve photographed, there’s only been one lens I regretted selling (and I’ve bought and sold many!).

It’s this one.

It’s not exotic and it’s not fancy, but I regretted selling it the moment I did.

I finally have it again.

(Before anybody asks:  My apologies, but I’m not telling… I want to try it out on film as well.)

—Peter.
