Hi, everyone:

A few more from Ronda's New Bridge and surrounding views

Took this one on the trek back and was loosing light fast. The path is at right and hard hats are required due to the occasional rock slides.

16mm f/3.5

Serge. That is gorgeous. Though spelled a little different - I will be thinking of your photo next time I hear "Help Me, Rhonda"

Figured I’d ask here and solicit shots from the 45mm f/2.8 P, any users or experience?

I must confess I’ve been loving the Contax 45mm Tessar for its size on an old A7, but then I don’t get to play here. GAS focused on a 45mm P is growing…

Serge, it's been a wonderful series on Ronda, thanks for sharing.
Enjoyed the desert blooms Harry! It's amazing to see these flowers among what looks like just a dead plant.
Ken, that just too many spiders in one spot. They fascinate me but not being able to track where every single one is with that many present is scary.

Spring Turkey with the 50-135.

BLLX wroteGot an offer I couldn't refuse/resist on this 24/2 ai
Nice going, Morten! The 24/2 AiS is a great favourite of mine, and was my "normal" lens for my years living in Copenhagen (late 80's and 90's), so probably 80-90% of my photos were taken with it. Why do I love this lens?

  1. Wide: I really came to love the 24mm focal-length (great for interiors, and not TOO wide for environmental portraits if care is taken to avoid heads-in-the-corners)
  2. Fast: Bright image is easier to focus than the 24/2.8, and of course hand-holdable in 1-stop less light (I regularly shot at 1/8th)
  3. Compact: _barely_ larger/heavier than the 24/2.8 (the 28/2 is noticeably larger/heavier)


Downsides?

Thanks for your views on it 🙏 I'll give some use

Thanks for moving us along Bill. That door shot is really well done!

I'll help with a couple from the 50-135, though I think that's too many posts from me on one page. (edit: bumped to the next page :-))
