It seems many people take issue with the term “privilege,” but privilege doesn’t mean your life was any easier—rather, your life wasn’t made more difficult. You may have seen [Matthew Shepard’s death] on the news in 1998 and thought, “Oh, that’s terrible,” but what you had the PRIVILEGE to be unaware of is how many of us thought, “This is how I’m going to die.” I was 14.

I’ve had two digital cameras in 10 years, but I’ve had nine lenses over the same time. Upon buying my X-Pro 1, I found I’m able to adapt nearly any lens. So far I only own one purpose-built lens for my camera.
The rest are mostly older rangefinder lenses that tend to be far more compact than their autofocus counterparts. With the advances in lens design, vintage lenses are less technically perfect than modern lenses. As such, they’re usually less sharp and aren’t nearly as corrected. This often gives them far more character, though.
