I have fallen in love with the Voigtlander Nokton 40mm f/1.2... I cleared the shelves a little to make room for it, and I'm not looking back. It's beautifully constructed, but the image quality is outstanding also.
I've also joined a FaceBook Street Photography group, in order to push myself a little outside of my comfort zone, and embrace new boundaries. Today, I decided to ask a couple of people for their photograph, and they obliged. Both asked why I wanted to, so I explained that I'm an amateur looking for practice and I liked the light/way they were sitting/general scene etc. Despite me asking for permission, it's actually not required if the photos are used 'in the interest of art'. I did, however, stipulate that I would
not be making money from these photos, which seemed to put both subjects at ease.
