Travel to Singapore with a Voigtlander hyper wide heliar 5.6/10mm

[Pierre]

Hi everybody,

 

Just went back from a travel to Singapore, where the Sony A7 survived dust, heat and damp. I had in my bag the new Voigtlander hyper wide heliar 5.6 - 10mm. This lens is perfect to take pictures where place is narrow, and very easy to use, despite the manual focus (it was my main concern, but at such a wide angle, everything is easily in focus). Of course, it quickly shows its limits when the light goes down, if you have no tripod (and even so, the results are quite poor).

 

Here is some examples :

And a clear example, taken inside the Raffles Hotel.

And from the same point of view, with the Voigtlander 10mm :

No other lens would have me taken this shot.

 

Considering I'm an amateur with poor skills, I can just imagine what kind of creative photographies a pro can take with this lens.
