15mm Heliar works well for this shot, no?

Shameless plug here 😛 .

The lens does add more than a few pounds, it's not her fault BTW.

How far were you from the people ? I've always wanted to try the Heliar to get this kind of shot ... Do you use it a lot ?

nice framing, except that people usually dont want to be seen on the edges of super wide angle lenses. I wonder why, heh.

did you meter built into the camera? bessa L?

For a moment or two it looked like the person didnt have any pants on 😉 Looks good tho 🙂

I can't remember exactly how far but I knew I had to be pretty close. I was probably 5 to 6 feet from the couple and maybe 10 feet from the horse. I shot a whole roll that day, alternating between a 50mm Nokton and the Heliar. Works pretty well when things are close together. You can check out my gallery for more shots with the lens.

einolu,

It was on a Bessa R2 that day.


Thanks for looking.

were you standing and holding the camera at eye level?

What can one say? Tally ho! Ride 'em coyboy!. Titian would love this. Just a comment. Johne

I shot it hand held in a half leaning stance. I had no idea the distortion would be so unflattering.

ya never know.. some guys would really go for that type
