Faces Of Your Cameras – Leica M2 and Canon 35mm f1.5 LTM
About the camera
My favourite film camera combo is the Leica M2 with the Canon 35mm f/1.5 LTM lens. The M2 is an early button rewind version and was repainted in black by an unknown Japanese painter. 35mm is my most-used focal length and the Canon lens is small and fast at f/1.5. I enjoy the tones it produces, as well as the soft glow when shooting wide open. Both the camera and lens are uncommon in the market, so I feel very fortunate to be able to own and use this unique duo. To complete the kit, I have attached the DOOMO Meter S, ONA leather neck strap and a brass soft shutter release button.
About me
I was born in Hong Kong, grew up in Canada, and presently living in Hong Kong. My passion for photography started when I discovered street photography a few years ago. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, I travelled frequently for work and I used that opportunity to document people and places whenever I could. In 2021, being grounded in Hong Kong, I was determined to work harder towards improving my photography, both in digital and film. When I shoot, I enjoy looking for good light, one that provides a nice gradient or high contrast for the frame. My goal is to make photos that tell stories with good aesthetics. I like to make candid shots of people, as they are the most natural expression of the moment, and I strive to be as respectful as I can in each situation. – by Nicholas Ip
