Leica M (Typ 240): Similar Motifs - Different Lenses - Part 1

Introduction | Sample Images || Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5

On this (Part 1) and the following pages, I collect photos that are the same motifs photographed in a similar or not so similar way with different lenses (two and more). This is NOT a scientific comparison of lenses or focal lengths, but just a collection of examples that show how different focal lengths inspire photos of similar or different looks...

Note: You can view and download the original files of the samples (for downloading use the browser's context menu).

Introduction

When I took photos with the Leica M (Typ 240), I developed the habit to take the same walk and also to take photos of the same things, Over time, I realized that the photos sometimes showed that motifs in similar ways, and sometimes very differently. I therefore decided, to collect photos of the same object taken with different lenses and present them here. Sometimes, it's just two lenses, sometimes it's more... Also note that the lighing conditions were very diffent on my walks. And please note that this is NOT a scientific comparison, it is just meant to show how different focal lengths can inspire you to take photos of similar or very different looks...
