It's Complicated
OK, probably not for the captain who navigated this boat through the Spree and Landwehrkanal on a wonderful birthday "Bridge Tour" eight (!) years ago.
I posted photos from this tour long ago (please check my album, if you like) but only images I had taken with my vintage 50mm Zuiko lens. During the second half of that tour, I'd used my 17mm lens – a lens that (hard to believe) has been sleeping in one of my photo gear drawers ever since because I'd never quite warmed up to it. I can't quite pin down why exactly, maybe I couldn't handle the focal length of 35mm equivalent, or maybe I didn't like the colours, or maybe both... But when I flipped through the "Bridge Tour" folder only yesterday, I realised, to my great surprise, that the m.zuiko 17mm F1.8 images are actually pretty nice, and that the lens renders beautifully crisp and sharp images, with good colours as well. So one thing is sure: This lens hasn't gotten enough love so far, and I will now change this ;)
Happy Sliders Sunday, Everyone!
