  • Cool racer, long stare

    Yesterday I got my new Sigma 30mm F2.8 lens, a chunky little black thing.
    I like the focal length, like the focus speed.



    The hood is a generic one from Roxsen, Hong Kong.

    Very nice portrait Ulfric, great colours.

    That lens hood is interesting, I presume the slots are just for weight reduction?

      Nah, the slots are a modern affectation harking back to some rangefinder hoods where the slots let you see 'through' the hood while it still shielded the lens from glare.
      The style got copied for 'retro' enthusiasts and is now a 'thing'.
