the heart thus thou break

Which one??????, a photo by ★ 0091436 ★ on Flickr.

Maria at Adorama was kind enough to let me spend some time (about 45minutes) with the xpro1 and the nex7. I was pretty disappointed by the xpro1's handling. It's really is a half baked product. It really sucks coz I pretty much had my heart set on this camera. Its the right size, right mega-pixels, right amount of sexiness, and most importantly, best IQ. But it was really a struggle to take a picture. Unfortunately, they didnt have an adapter for me to try with my Voigtlander 40mm (I used the 18mm that they had on the demo camera). That would have been the real test.
I did however, get to try my lens on the NEX7, and as expected, it worked like a dream. So much so, that it actually break my heart a little, knowing that with even just a few minutes of playing on the NEX7, that it's going to win out over the xpro1. Such a shame....i guess the NEX7 will have to do until the xpro2(?)....

Eli was fanfreakintastic to work with.

Shot with a Bronica ETRSi with a 75mm f/2.8 which I recently sold off. I miss that lil sucker. It was a cute lil baby of a camera.

This week we take a look at some pictures that (for whatever raisin) didnt make the cut in previous weeks during this project. This is a nice way for me to be lazy and do another mixed week, while at the same time, use some scraps that I didnt like enough the first time around :D

Enjoy! (only 2 more weeks left!)

This week we're gonna look at some portraits Ive been working on for the past year. Some of them (like the one above) are still works in progress. But I thought it was time to start on them again. Enjoy.
