Lighting was harsh and dramatic in the ring, some like the halo but some doesn’t but I do find it add extra character to the photos. Looking for Cameras / Lenses or Gears? If you have any questions related to film photography and you would like to source any […]
Unboxing Leica Noctilux 50mm f1.2 ASPH (Reissue) Diary Unboxing Leica Noctilux M 50mm f1.2 ASPH (Reissue) August 10, 2021 Noctilux 50mm f1.2 ASPH has been my ultimate dream lens and also the first lens that I lay my eyes on.
