I recently replaced my Fuji X100v with a Sony A7iii that was retired from work. Not long later the manufacturers of the Funleader 18mm f/8 pancake lens got in touch asking if I might like to review it. I didn’t really have any intention of reviewing Sony mount lenses – there’s plenty of people out there doing it already – but I couldn’t help being intrigued to try this lens.
The Pergear 12mm f/2 lens is shipped inside very compact cardboard box, additionally wrapped in numerous layers of protective foam. The package included Pergear mini air blower again, which is quite handy (I already have one and used it numerous time for lens external dust cleaning). The box also contains nicely made neoprene protective pouch with lens additionally protected by a bubble film wrap and dehumidifier.
This is a story of how I tamed the ultra-wide Nikkor 20mm f/3.5 – a remarkable lens that has become a key part of my style as a photographer.
I recently bought a Konica Hexagon 17mm f/16 on Ebay. Maybe you haven’t heard of this lens before? I hadn’t either. It’s not the perfect lens, that’s for sure, but I’ve been having a lot of fun with – despite it ultimately not curing my GAS. However, given that this lens has more than a passing resemblance to certain famous lens, I hope this article might be of some interest to readers.
Can I start off by mentioning that I am a fan of the 35mmc, I love reading the articles and reviews by varied photographers from all walks of life. Naturally I wanted very much to contribute an article and what better way to do so by sharing a few frames taken with the new tiny Voigtlander Ultron Vintage Line 35mm f/2 ASPH VM lens (quite a mouthful).
