15mm VC action

[Ororaro]

Back from a fruitious trip, exclusively shot with Leica M cameras (M3 in this instance).
The 15 VC is incredibly good. If it was a Leica offering, this very same little thing would probably be selling in the 2000$. I'm no expert but I wouldn't be surprised. The worst is I would've probably paid that much for it LOL!

I like that pic ... and yes I agree if this lens had a more 'boutique' name it would be more expensive for sure! 😛 I have one also and I might give it an outing this Saturday night after seeing this!

As a matter of interest what's happening in that shot? 🙂

looks like a regular eastern european pig slaughter to me
except i remember we always had snow at that time🙂

 

[Ororaro]

Yeap!
Just a good ol' Pig slaughter :angel:

Poor pig. What a way to go..

 

[Pherdinand]

poor, but tastes good right?🙂

More important than the lens is the photographer skill and those pictures just show how talented is the photographer. I wouldn't know how to use a 15mm - I'm already so clumsy with a 35mm - but you do.
The first one is powerful but the second is very poetic. I would have seen in B&W though; I think the sky would have been very dramatic. Do you see the same?

I have a chrome 15mm, anyone want to swap for a black version. It's as new.

This shot is from one of the first B&W rolls I've done with this lens, /thanks Keith, I've bought it after your HU post 🙂 / and I must say, for what it costs it delivers more than enough.

 

[Cron]

well worth its money!!

Wow Ned, I'm going to have to give this lens a second look.

What picturesque balkan scene. For all we know; there is a mass grave behind those bushes, there. I prefer to buy my pork vacum packed.

As always, I like your photos, Ned, but these might have come out just as well or
better with your 21, no ? The first one, say in portrait format, the second
a bit farther away.

The colors we're so nice, I only had Velvia with me that day.
Using the 15mm is simple if you follow the simple Foreground-background rule or if whatever subject simply calls for it, as this one did.

Thanks!

Lovely shot, excellent tonality.

Indeed it is!

Nothing 🙂

For the price, everyone should own one.
