Congrats Aidaho !
Beautiful serie.
You surely have a personnal photographic view. Your portraits are colourful and I like the way you shoot these persons. Always a smile on their faces or in the mood.
I wonder what camera body do you use.
Thanks a lot and have a good day.

I always try to provide an accurate EXIF, so you can look up the hardware for the particular portrait on Flickr by clicking the photo.
Most of those were shot with the A7R, others with a6000. A7R is clearly a superior body for MF, but a6000 is on the whole another level of portability when paired with small lenses.

My dream body for this kind of work is hi-res, weather-sealed A7C, with large EVF from A7 (at the expense of screen real estate), fully mechanical shutter and no sensor stabilization (to cut down on size and weight as much as possible).

Minolta MC Rokkor-PF 55mm F1.9



All the rest are made with a tiny half-frame Olympus G.Zuiko Auto-S 40mm F1.4.
As a truly pocketable 58mm F2 (FF equiv.) distortion-free long-ish fifty with excellent bokeh quality, this lens has no competition within its own niche.
