Waxing lyrical about the Zeiss Distagon 35mm f/2 ZF.2

So Prime Lens Day (is that something B&H Photo made up?) came and went last week. Seeing B&H tweet about it, makes it hard for me to pass up the chance to wax lyrical about my favorite category of camera lenses. So I thought, why not blog about one of my favorite prime lenses! But […]

Going Analog: Breaking down the cost

For a long time the biggest reason holding me back from shooting in analog is the cost to maintain the hobby. All the miscellaneous expenditure adds up, starting from cost of the roll of film, followed by the developing, printing and scanning costs of the end product.

Catharsis Through Photography

Sorry to disappoint folks, there ain’t any pictures for this post… I’ve been exploring this topic on the Internet, well conveniently via Google, and surprisingly not much has been written on it.

My thoughts on the Fujifilm X-Pro1

  A lil’ bit of backstory… I bought the Fuji X-Pro1 in July 2013, and it’s been slightly more than a year since I’ve owned it. To be honest, I’ve thought of selling it off many times. I’m not exactly in love with this camera… But every time I’m about to put a listing to […]
