Summilux Drive

Shooting the Summilux 50mm Classic wide open (at f/1.4) while driving is a mix of chaos, control, and chasing light. But wide open on a bright day, it’s actually not that hard—just focus approximately and shoot. The Summilux 50mm Classic at f/1.4 gives you that signature look, but when the light’s blasting, even wide open, you’ve got enough depth of field to get away with looser focus, especially at mid or far distances. You’re not aiming for clinical sharpness here anyway. The charm is in the softness, the glow, the vibe. Zone focus, set your exposure ahead, and fire away. Don’t overthink it—just frame fast, trust your gut, and let the lens do its thing.
