MANHATTAN – I spent the day in Midtown Manhattan with my Leica SL2-S, which I use as a platform to shoot old lenses. Today I’m shooting Nikon rangefinder lenses from the early 1950s – this is with an 85mm Nikkor, which is still a stellar performer 70 years later.

MANHATTAN – I settled in in front of the Guggenheim Museum and the Church of the Heavenly Rest for several hours today, with my Leica SL2-S and a group of very old lenses: Pre-WWII Contax rangefinder lenses, and Contax and Nikon rangefinder lenses from the early 1950s. One of the nice things about the SL2-S is its adaptability to a wide variety of historical lenses.
