Camera Santa

From My Lens December 28, 2025

Camera Santa was very kind to me this year, I was lucky to get a 28mm M mount lens for my Leica cameras.

The 28mm focal length is often called the "goldilocks" of street photography. It’s wide enough to capture the energy of a city street but tight enough to feel personal. Recently, I took my Leica M10 paired with the tiny TTArtisan 28mm f/5.6 for a spin through the heart of London to see how this modern "tribute" lens handles the grit and glamour of the capital.

Well, the large format gear has long been sold.

Here's a selection of images taken in Dungeness. Just love this place.  I miss the large format gear, but it was just a little too much of a faff setting up and taking shots

We were pretty lucky with the weather, but there were loads of photo-ops about.

So apparently it is all about the gear. Or at least about the gear that isn't expensive. 

This little Nikon F80 is a gem of a camera.
