Much appreciated mate, thanks.

Some of it was over my head, but all of it was interesting, and fascinating seeing your photography results. The benefits of manual focus are quite certain, these have a great quality which is very enjoyable. Nice work mate, hope you are well.

Appreciate the feedback and kind words mate. I am well, hope that you are safe and well too.

Good advice, especially for us noob’s lol. Love the shots and vibrant colors/clarity.

Thank you, RJ. I love the colour reproduction when using the Velvia film simulation on Fuji cameras.

Great video, liked the images at the end. I found using manual focus improved my photography a lot. Perhaps it is about being more intensely involved in the taking of each image. I did miss focus quite a lot in the beginning, however. I often still do...

Yeah, manual focusing does take it up a notch, but you gotta monitor the areas otherwise we’ll still miss as you say.

Your images are incredible mate. I really love them

Thank you mate, much appreciated.

Thanks Roger, I guess us (not photographers) expect that every shot is a winner. Someone with skills in this area hitting about 50% gives us some hope 😂🤣

Haha, yes mate! 😉✌️

I use Voigtlander lenses….I tend to set to infinity and focus on further away things. It’s actually a lot of fun…hard work, but fun. I use the focus peaking at times to help. It’s harder with moving things or objects closer to the camera. Give it a try….

Very interesting. I’ve been looking at the Voigtlander’s also, love the look of them on the Fuji bodies. Appreciate the feedback.

@@rogerbrooksfilms I have three--18mm Color-Skopar, 27mm Ultron and the 50mm F1.2. The 18 and 27 I find forgiving with respect to focusing… the 50 takes a lot more practice, even at infinity….and it can go beyond infinity so one has to be extra careful with it. But I do enjoy them…haven’t taken them off my camera since I got them. I mostly shoot architecture and more general street photography…less so people. I think the 18 and 28 cost me around $850 CDN each, while the 50 was $1100 CDN. Maybe you can find them for less used or on EBay.

I have super low expectations so I should be golden.
