I like how this photo came out. This was last winter, in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, New York City. In actuality, this is a service and storage building used by park employees. I liked the composition, though, and the muted earth tone foreground against the bright sky background makes it look like something out of a retro photo book.

I know that a lot of people rate the Panasonic-Leica 25/1.4 very highly. To be honest, I still can't see why. I've owned this lens for a long time now, and I've always been satisfied with but never excited about it. Not to mention, it has some notable downsides (slow autofocus motor, loud aperture, color fringing wide open, non-reversible hood, uncommon filter size).

I've never been particularly excited about this lens. I keep telling myself that I need to take it out more, and every time I do, I feel pretty neutral about it.
