I had a really exciting job last weekend, shooting Pak Peng Arcade at downtown Kuala Lumpur. Pak Peng is an old building, a semi-abandoned shopping mall that has seen better days. A community of local artists took over two floors of the building for two days and turned it into a mini festival. I was thrilled to shoot this event because the interiors of the building has very tight spaces and narrow walkways, which necessitate the use of super wide angle most of the time. I took this opportunity to utilize the amazing Panasonic 9mm F1.7, and boy oh boy that lens was a lifesaver! It is so small, light and sharp, it delivers fantastic results. Of course I used other lenses as well for the full day event coverage (mostly Olympus 25mm and 45mm F1.8), but I specifically selected wide angle shots taken with the Panasonic 9mm F1.7 for this blog entry. I made a video to talk about why I love the Panasonic 9mm F1.7 so much, you can view it here (click).
