I used to avoid 28mm lenses completely. Too wide and too tight at the same time.
Then Brightin Star sent me their tiny little 28mm pancake lens and somehow it changed the way I see.

It’s imperfect, weird and occasionally frustrating, but it made photography feel fun again. And honestly, that matters more to me than technical perfection.

I made a short review about it on YouTube if anyone wants to see more examples and hear my thoughts a month of usage on Leica M EV1.

Leica M EV1 / Brightin Star 28mm
(As seen in the photo).

Less than two weeks till adidas Stockholm Marathon. As usual, I’m one of three official photographers. As usual I’ll be documenting the start and finish. It’s gonna be a blast. Hope lots of people here are running.

Here’s a few from last year.

Camera: Sony A9III
Lens: Tamron 35-150

Third race done with Leica M EV1 and it was a rainy one, a rainy party. Vårruset (Spring Run) Gothenburg. But I’ve probably done a hundred races in total with different brands. Three things I’ve realized with this little beast, besides the fact that it sparks my joy.

1. It handles rain! Cause wow, it was pouring down.

2. According to Leica, the battery holds around 250 photos, I shot 1200 and still had 25% left. That’s a good sign.

3. Men suffers more after finish line while women just walk it off!

In two weeks it’s time for adidas Stockholm Marathon and I am one of three official photographers. I’ll probably provoke some of the other press photographers with the M EV1, haha. Thinking about documenting everything with a 10mm lens, but probably end up with the 28mm.

Camera: Leica M EV1
Lens: Voigtländer Nokton 35mm 1.2

I see a cat, I need to take a photo!
From Sardinia.

I went to Italy (Genoa and Sardinia) last week for work. Of course, I found a few hours to explore with my camera, and these are some of my favorites, in no particular order.

I challenged myself to document everything with only a 28mm lens, a focal length that used to intimidate me, but one I’ve started to love, thanks to Brightin Star’s brilliant compact lens. It might not be tack sharp like so many other brands out there (Voigtländer, I am looking at you) but it sure sparks my joy.
A review will be coming in a week or two.

Now I want to document adidas Sthlm Marathon with only 24mm. First I have to convince Leica to send me a sample, haha.
