Photography Matters Ep 88 – Weird Times – Why 50mm? – Monopoly

March 22, 2020 By Ted Leave a Comment

Leica M6 • Summicron 50mm • Kodak Tri-X EI 1600

I hope this episode finds everyone healthy and safe. Such a different time right now. I want to talk about that a little bit.

Also, that old conversation regarding 50mm vs 35mm primes, and for the shots I love the most, it usually comes from 50mm. It’s a different look.

Then a couple words about Monopoly. Not the board game, but something a little different. Enjoy
