It’s nice to read the reasons and experiences of others with cameras and how it modifies their life and practices.

I find photography both daunting and satisfying, sometimes in …equal measures, and spending time with the new-to-me TL2 camera from 8 years ago has been quite satisfying… and daunting. So that checks out (I’m very circuitous).

Anyway, I love reading posts like this:

The Nikon Zf

In a desperate attempt to spark some enthusiasm for photography, I bought a Nikon Zf. I know, this is not the best approach, but it’s what I did so here we are. I’m jotting down a few quick thoughts and first impressions. (This isn’t a review. Just notes to myself about the camera). Nikon Zf The Zf1 is meant to replace my Leica SL2. The SL2 is a terrific camera, but it’s so big and heavy that I never take it anywhere. With the Zf being smaller and lighter, I figured it would make more sense as an “everyday carry” camera.

@Luke how’s the TL2 working out for you?
@alpower Great! It’s USB-C, 24MP is plenty, the manual lenses are just enough challenge and reward, and it’s such a beautifully designed object to hold. (Blog post soon)
@Luke which lenses did you end up for it? (I’m sure you told me ages ago when we chatted about it online)
@alpower I haven’t posted much, but I tried out a few. I should just finish it up and post it.
Voigtlander nokton 40 1.4 was great, but settled on a Zeiss Biogon 35 2.0
@Luke I love the 35mm length on the crop sensor
@alpower it is pretty acceptable!
