The Right Angle
This image just came out of nowhere. It was the very first shot I took during the first outing of our workshop. I had only one lens on My Leica, my Zeiss Biogon f2 35 mm. I do not own the Leica 35mm, one reason being the cost, but the Zeiss is a very nice alternative. Most of my shots are with this lens. It is said that most Leica owners shoot predominantly with a 35 mm lens. It just seems the right lens in most situations. I prefer it over my Leica 50 mm f2 Summicron, which is also a terrific lens. The Leica lenses seem to impart a slightly cooler image than the Zeiss lenses. Either way, both are great lenses. Once you own a Leica or a Zeiss lens, you will never switch. The image is nicely balanced, like someone set it up that way, but this was the positioning as I found it. The color scheme is very nice as well. I love the warm tones that one finds in Arizona. Hard to believe that this is in "poor light".
