What should an 84 year old do on a rather cool (100F) day in Phoenix ? , why of course grab you camera and go to the zoo and cruise up Central Ave. looking for photo ops. Minolta 28A, Sigma 70 macro A and ancient Tamron MF 21 adapt-A-Matic lenses used, 6/11/2017.

You shooting with the small FE 35, Joshua? What happened to the 1.4 distagon?
By the way, you and I are long due for a get together.
And I am right in the middle of revamping my kit.
Yes, well observed, Nadim! I am on a non-photography trip and therefore I am traveling light. I still have the FE 35mm f/1.4 but on this trip I prefer the compact size and feather light weight of the 35mm f/2.8. Frankly, I did not anticipate shooting at aperture wider than f/2.8. In addition to that lens I do have the Loxia 21mm, Batis 85mm and CV 12mm. So far, so good.
BTW, I am actually impressed with that lens. Not only by the minimal weight and bulk but optically, too. I think it is a great lens and I believe Fred feels the same way. Check out this shot from earlier today after sunset at the "Old Man" River. I didn't see the actual sun set but the sky and the cloud formations afterwards were just awesome.
Wow. Those are indeed some great cloud formations. I'm finally back to shooting after a long "sabbatical". Looking forward to getting out again. Let me know when you're back in town and we'll set something up.
