The answer is, acoarst, an evolving thing. THIS WEEK,
and for whoknows howlong, it's a full format fisheye !
I use it in classique HCB fashion ... one camera, one
lens, and thaz my visual approach for the whole week
or month or forever or whatever. And so, speaking of
time, much as I despise "artsy" titles, I loooove puns.
Thus the little sax man gets a title: "Alfpast Midnight",
which is pretty accurate +/- 15 minutes. Sax sounded
insane under the bridge, but there's "zero-minus" light
under there :-( He was wailing loud cuz he'd lost Saxy
Santa somehow, and so he was signaling his location.
OTOH, long view rearview mirrorwise, any incarnation
of the "35/2.0 Summicron" ... any good brand. FWIW,
the posted example is a 40/2.8, but hey, "picky-picky".
My approach to the 35/2.0 involves a bit of "grab now,
crop later", so what's a few mm between friends ?
EDIT: Feeling a bit "impure" about the 40/2.8, so I've
added an authentic, minimally cropped, 35/2.0 grab,
