I have the Voigtlander Nokton 50/f1.1 for the next week and I’m planning on running several rolls side-by-side against my Zeiss Planar 50/f2.

I’m considering replacing the Planar with this so we’ll see. I’m a little skeptical though, since Zeiss bokeh is pretty hard to beat imo.

Stay tuned for results and photos!

Following up on my last post, I got the final piece to my Leica M3 kit today(hot shoe meter VCII).

Very excited.

Oh and I'm starting to sell my other camera gear too.
Hasselblad Distagon 50/f4 C T* - $600

Very nice day today. Jacket, T-Shirt, Jeans kind of day. Keston and I walked from Uchisar through Goreme Valley to Goreme town, had tea at a merchant in the middle of no where inside the valley, got to Goreme and had some lunch, smoked some Nargile, and caught the bus back up to Uchisar. I mostly shot the Hasselblad + 50/f4 Distagon but snapped a few with the Leica M8 + 35/f2 Summicron for the blog.

Winding down the night with some french press coffee, forgot the type of coffee, and mapping out a project me and Keston are working on. Can't say though, for now, it's a secret! And it's not a photography project.

Keston and I took a hike around the mountains here in Uchisar, Cappadocia. We were accompanied by some random dogs who seemed to make sure we were okay and wanted to keep the wild wolves away from us.

Took a stroll around Uchisar today on the way to the our cave friend, Hasan. His shop is in a cave, and he sells many fine turkish items. Snow is still here, but it’s getting a little warmer. My feet get cold very fast.

They say March is very unpredictable here. Three days ago it was sunny, now it’s snowing!

Today we went south to Nevsehir(in Cappadocia) and visited Derinkuyu to explore the underground christian city.

Amazing amazing experience. It was very cold and very dark, with lights on the basic path or pitch black if you wanted to head through other tunnels.

I’ll have more up later, but for now..

Just arrived in Cappadocia this morning and it’s absolutely beautiful. I’ll be here for the next week so look for updates.

For now, feast on these photos:
