Now that I have the new insanely portable Lumix S9 camera, and thinking about the very very innovative 26 mm F8, manual focusing lens, I think I finally have it figured out; the virtue of having a manual focusing only lens is that you could make it much smaller compact \u00e2\u20ac\u201d lighter, more thin, because you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have to mess with or add the auto focusing mechanism which adds bulk, weight, obtrusiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What is really interesting is I still have my beloved Leica 35 mm F2 , aspherical lens, which is married to the body of my Leica MP film camera,,, but when I use the adapter and put it on the Lumix S9, the 35 mm f\/2 lens is significantly heavier, and also thicker the new 26 mm f8 manual focusing lens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I think what I have discovered in all of my years of photography, as time goes on, I become more advanced, wise, experienced and seasoned\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 The will to simplicity is supreme! <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Now that I have the new insanely portable Lumix S9 camera, and thinking about the very very innovative 26 mm F8, manual focusing lens, I think I finally have it figured out; the virtue \u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_ek_photo_artist_note":"","_ek_photo_thesis":"","_ek_photo_camera":"","_ek_photo_place":"","_ek_photo_human_moment":"","_ek_photo_sequence":"","_ek_photo_question":"","_ek_photo_canonical_claim":"","_ek_photo_ai_summary":"","_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-638554","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-posts"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/638554","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=638554"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/638554\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":638564,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/638554\/revisions\/638564"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=638554"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=638554"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=638554"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
