NEW YORK NEW YORK – Bruisingly busy day. Snapped a few iPhones around the house. The iPhone photo app that I’ve settled on is KitCam, where I’ve adopted a square format, a faux tilt tool, and frame lines that look like a Hasselblad film camera’s (the app calls it “Victor”).

NEW YORK NEW YORK – I’m looking for a tilt shift solution for my Leica M. So I bought a Nikon 24mm tilt shift and a Nikon to Leica adapter from B&H (which has a no questions asked returns policy) to give it a try.. Nice lens, but focusing with the Leica electronic view finder is plausible but not great. So I returned the lens and adapter to B&H – I’ll repurchase something along those lines if Leica ever does a firmware upgrade to improve the functionality of the EVF. Here’s an images that uses the tilt capacity to extend the focus range on the runner on our dining room table.
