135 vs 180. (Patreon)

According to my notes, this photo was shot with the Nikon 180mm f2.8 ED AI-s.Looking back to it I am tempted to take the new (for me) Leica ELMARIT-R 1:2.8/180 with me to Barbora's shooting tomorrow, but I have to resist!It is the end of October after all, and I don't expect all of this light, albeit the shoot with Martina was in February 2020, and light from the setting sun was so strong she had difficulties keeping her eyes open.Anyway, tomorrow I'm already taking the Leica ELMARIT-R 1:2.8/135 as a long lens, and I will have to make do with that.

Later today on my regular social media feed, I will post another photo of Martina from this same session, and that photo was shot on the Contax-Zeiss Sonnar T* 135mm f2.8, so you can imagine what to expect from the Barbora's shoot in terms of focal rendition, and I will feel safer with a less extreme telephoto in case the light is lower.Of course tomorrow I will work with 3 different cameras, and 3 or 4 lens, so the 135mm is going to be used very little.
