Claudia vs the Leica R 135mm

By now you must have read about my new project 😀

I just started my new project #VintageLensOnNew
A project where I challenge myself (and you guys) to shoot mainly with old vintage lenses. Not because my Sony or Sigma lenses aren’t good, but to actually play with different looks, and also to “proof” that lenses that are sold for anything between 5-100 euro’s on fleamarkets can be incredibly good and cool. Although I have to add some of the Leica R lenses I use are a bit more expensive.

At the moment I still use these lenses manual, which with the Sony’s is actually a breeze. It’s slower than AF of course but manual focus is helped by peaking, zoom options and of course the EVF itself, and this…. well makes it a lot easier.

Today some images I shot during the Ultimate weekend day 2 with Claudia.
These shots were taken with the Sony A7RIII and the Leica R 135mm

According to a lot of people this is not one of the best Leica R lenses… but in honesty the lens performs stellar on the Sony A7RIII, the images are PIN sharp and I just love the way the colors look….. love it. But judge for yourself… what do you think?
