Gear: John S lens

The John S lens is definitely one of my staple lenses, it’s versatile and is quintessentially Hipstamatic having been included for free in the app since the very beginning. It works well with simple films, such as any of the Ina’s (1935, 1969 & 1982), and brings out vivid blues and greens, so perfect for forest and beach shots.

Be careful of using it in low-light portraiture without a flash as the subject may be cast in shadow due to the vignette effect.

Below are a few shots I’ve taken using John S.
