Scenes Seen: GFX + ROKKOR 58mm f/1.2.

Subtitle: This set up had definitely boosted my scenes seen image capturing output.

The motivation.

The usual. Photography as a distraction. Much needed nowadays.

The setting.

Took the rig wherever I went.

The rig.

Officially an all time favorite.

So… The GFX 50R Intro: Or How A Leica Camera Release Freed Me Up To Get A Fujifilm Camera.

Lens Arrival: Minolta MC Rokkor 58mm f/1.2 – Digital Edit.

So much so that, whether the situation fits or not, it is what I would prefer to use. And when used within the realm of realistic expectations, it never disappoints. More on this will be outlined below.

The photos.

Thoughts.

Before I get to the cut and paste from the last post part of the program I would like to make a few points.

None of these are Earth shattering images, and some are repeat images, but I like every one of them.
These were all taken in one day.
Over just a few hours in one day.
Regardless of brand, capture medium, gear vintage, or any other variable I have rarely ever taken that many keeper images over such a short amount of time.
Woot. This is fun.

On to the cut and paste…

I have alluded to the main reason I like this camera and lens combination so much before.

It is a mash up of my favorite image capturing attributes.

The ROKKOR 58mm f/1.2 is the best of two favorite lenses in one.
- Wonky like the more fun than it should be 7Artisns f/1.1.
- Clean and crisp when you want it to be like the Voigtlander 40mm f/1.2 Nokton.
Focal length sweet spot.
- The 58mm focal length works out to about 45mm .
- Slightly wider and more flexible than a 50mm lens.
- But 45mm makes for pleasing people photos.
A successful rangefinder knock off.
- Easily replaced the M 240 I had in my life.
- Feels good in hand.
Not bad at video even with manual focus.
