It was a hot weekend (+32C) so we went on another little trip out to the Atlantic, this time by car. These trips are not about photography, so I can't wait around for better light.
Those who have traveled in Norway this summer and had interesting light are so lucky. On all our little trips it has been glaring sunshine (and a couple of days with a dull thin layer of white clouds). So tired of the sun and heat!
The last is from C/Y 50/1.7 and the rest C/Y 28/2.8.
I've got more adjusting to do, but this is definitely an improvement over the original Commlite front and back mounting plates (too thick). The replacements are a little too thin, so I may have to a combination to get the right match. But I'm quite happy with the lens for what it is -- very good in the central areas, and allows me a modern "G" lens to check focus distance vs. focal scale. The rendering looks sort of halfway between Helena's soft-edge shots and a standard sharp picture across the frame.
More from trips to Sweden, all taken with C/Y 28mm/2.8. (I posted some similar shots with Lensbaby Burnside last week.) We pass the old rowboat and barn every time we go to the cabin so I'm sure there will be more of them later.
I included the first shot to show what the ice and extremely high water level did to our jetty (or what is this type of construction called in English?) this spring.
