Island of Ufenau - exhibition of wood sculptures by Daniel Eggli

Street Photography with Leica SL and Leica Summicron 50mm f2.0
The Leica SL-Body is ideal for use exclusively with manual Leica M lenses. And it works great, it is without a doubt the best mirrorless camera as a platform for M-glass. There are no compromises, the huge viewfinder makes focusing manual lenses a breeze.

Flashback: Low-Res challenge in the bush
In December 2009, a little more than 10 years ago, I was in South Africa for the first time. At that time I was still a Nikon Fan-Boy and my first full frame camera, the Nikon D700, had to go into the bush. At that time, 12.9 megapixels was the highest of feelings.

Fujinon XF 56mm f/1.2 - The bokeh painter
Although the Fujinon XF 56mm f/1.2 has been on the market for six years now, in my opinion, there is no better lens in the portrait class that renders colors and bokeh as perfectly as the XF 56mm f/1.2 does.
