DOWN NEW PATHWAYS

[FUJI]

To say that I'm pleased is an understatement......

You may have noted that yesterday I took delivery of a LMIX GX9 camera...one that has its detractors balanced by those who are great fans, including one who uses his alongside is two Leica's.

This set then, is a first showing of what it and I are capable of in partnership.

The first image...STILL LIFE ...was one of my test shots using my Panasonic/Leica 15-1.7 lens.

From then on  all of the others were shot through my circa £20 DIY Arty-Macro lenses....a vintage projector lens and a tiny Cine Film Camera lens from the 1950s ...both stuck into bottle-caps and adapters with hot glue.

1: STILL LIFE      2: CENTRE    3: A.RABESQUE     4: WASP     5: SPACE STATION.

As soon as I get a decent weather break, my next test will be to use only Vintage, fully manual lenses for ...Street Photography....I am really looking forward to trying out the camera's unique new Monochrome filter ..supposedly one of the best...compares well with the Leica one.

 

Watch this Space....as they say.

If this appeals in any way...the GX9 has come down in price lately because the changes made were controversial,  but, use it within its parameters and its amazing.

Looks like a good decision.  The still life has a certain quality about the rendition that is quite pleasing.
