Another fun set of photos from lens testing with the Leica M10 Monochrom ... I saw a review on the Lomography "Lomo LC-A Minitar Art Lens 32mm f/2.8" that piqued my curiosity. This is a small, light, inexpensive lens, same or similar, I believe, to what is fitted on the "infamous" Lomo 35mm compact camera, housed in a metal M-mount with rangefinder coupled focusing. It has a (cheap) simple diaphragm mechanism, and a similarly (cheap) click-stopped focusing lever. It makes the M4-2 or M10-M pretty small and light ... not so much so as the MS Optics Aporia 24mm f/2, nor is it up to the same build quality or optical quality, but then it's less than a quarter the price.
Anyway it piqued my curiosity and was cheap enough that I felt I should give it a try. I went out for two walks with it fitted to the M10-M and pulled together a little album of 19 photographs that I found interesting out of what I'd exposed. A few of the exposures that I like: Condo Castle - Santa Clara 2022 :: https://flic.kr/p/2o1HUN1 Fire Exit - Santa Clara 2022 :: https://flic.kr/p/2o1HxYs Banister and Railing - Santa Clara 2022 :: https://flic.kr/p/2o1HUPD Here's the gallery of all 19 Minitar test photos… Lomo LC-A Minitar Art Lens Test 2022 :: https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjAgkcQ Enjoy!
