You know I'm going to ask what those lovely flowers are, don't you?

I don't think my wife or daughter would approve! Many insect pictures you see involve dead insects as well. Cheating a bit really.

Who knew? You learn something new every day. Cool! (sorry).
Kiddo just got glasses. Looks like Harry Potter will be the costume for next Halloween 
Sometimes you just have to make up the numbers

Took my newly acquired Voigtlander Nokton Classic 35mm 1.4 out for it's first outing yesterday. This was outside of London Liverpool Street station.

Cuteness dialed to 11 there!

He he he.... so come on, what are you thinking so far? keeper? nice and sharp by the look of it. It has a certain characteristic of its own wide open and it is TINY isnt it?
I like what you did with this composition, mixed it up a bit add some tension.
Wow! that was excellent framing and timing! Round of applause for getting them all in focus and fully in frame. Lovely capture. Please tell me this is OOC not PP....
Definitely a keeper! I'm a real evangelist for Voigtlander lenses at the moment. They're so well built and really deliver the goods. This one is another peach. It is tiny but my Heliar 15mm still holds the record for most ridiculously tiny lens in my arsenal at the minute. Hoping to get out and take some more shots with it today.
I liked that shot of the busker because of the emotion showing on her face. I took this one of her too but it didn't have the same impact I felt, even though the composition was better.
*gasp* breaking the two shots in a day rule! I'm such a rebel

Keep rebelling mate.... I will skip my quota today, you can have it.
Yeah this composition is more the norm but I like the way the other one feels off balance as she is standing to the right. My brain tells me her guitar neck should be pointing into the frame but pointing out makes it more compelling to look at. Am I talking tosh or does that make any sense?It is certainly looks very nice right now.
I am considering a 15mm Heliar too. I dont have anything wider than a 28mm on a kit zoom lens at the moment but being a sucker for nice skies, I am thinking that a 15mm heliat would be a nice addition to my kit.
Looking forward to seeing you put to the test.
No your not talking tosh. That makes perfect sense.
Go for the Heliar. It's a great lens. There might be some issues with it on the A7, I can't remember but I seem to recall that it might not have been that great on it. I could be talking tosh too. If it does work out ok then it is definitely worth it. It's small enough to pop in your jeans pocket when out and about and it close focuses to about 30cm, which is unheard of for M mount lenses. I basically use it like a point and shoot lens as at F8 everything is in focus from about a metre away.
Edit: Here's the article I read about the Heliar and the A7

Gary is known for slipping in the odd edit or three, if you go back through the archives. Each to their own.
Went for a bike ride yesterday on a trail that was formerly a railway line that cuts right through farmland. Here's one of the farms along the way.
Bugs now flowers: what next? I know it's a lily of sorts. Comments always appreciated.

Yep. There is a version III now that works way better...
Don't hesitate then just buy it, you won't regret it.

Edit: I've just read up on version III and it looks like a winner on the A7. They have made it quite a bigger bigger compared to the original LTM mount version that I have:
Mines on the far right compared to VIII on the far left. Still compact but mine's like a toy it's so small.
