One lens, one year etc - first month summary

After all it's not so bad 😉

Shot with Contax SLR, 28mm lens.

Wow, you've got some great photos there. I especially enjoyed the shot of the man with the car door entering the bus/trolley. Also the last one. The way you handled the light was great.

Agreed... I enjoyed these, keep us updated!!!

I fell right off the wagon. Had to send my M6 to Sherry, so I'm using my mom's old Nikkormat with an 85/2 AIS and my GR-1.

Both great setups, but not remotely the same as an M6 and 35mm lens. :-(.

I agree with oftheherd and rover, great photographs for the first month. I used to use a 28mm for almost everything, but now I use a 35mm about as much as the 28. Keep it going and show us more when you have them. - jim

Jan, your Contax thinks it is an RF ... 🙂

Oh how I miss my Contax 28mm after seeing your photos 🙁 You have a nice set here. I used to carry the 28/2.8 with the 85/2.8 and found that a great combo.

Nice photos, but didnt you also use a Rolleiflex - based on your other thread? So, not really 1 camera/1 lens, huh? 😉

Now, Jan, pick one among these to represent your first month, and do the same with each succeeding month ...

Thank you guys, whole thing started here on RFF and I'm happy you like it. Pre-focused, @ f/8 and AE or manual with tricky light there is no difference when you push the button, moreover the VF is bigger.
Gary, 85/2.8 is what I'm gonna buy... after 11 months 😉
Krosya, you are right, Rolleiflex stay for portrait only.
Paul, thats the hardest part.

A really nice set of images. It will be interesting to see what your imagination comes up with over the next 11 months!

Thanks, major problem will be winter and no light available. I perceive loads of dispiriting grainy images.

I think this one is my favourite.
