Looked at my pictures from a previous blood moon, determined any pictures were not going to look much different than those (I don't have any foregrounds close by that would excite me enough to make significant efforts). Looked at the outside temps (3F) and instantly confirmed that determination :-)

Happy to see the pace pick up. Welcome to the newer contributors to this conversation.

Do what I did, 55 2.8 AND 55 3.5 AND 50 1.2

Beautiful shots. I had 55mm 2.8 and also 3.5 which I sold in favor of a longer macro lens. I didn't really look at them as a general purpose lenses even though they were. I found the 3.5 to be even sharper than 2.8 - but that could be sample variation.

Andy, those are wonderful details of the Chennai temples. Looks like from your Flickr page you went through Kerala too?

I wasn't able to photography the moon last night, not because it was cold (it was a nice ~50 degrees F) but because it was cloudy.

Three from the Columbia River gorge today. First 2 with 75-150/3.5 E; last with 25-50/4. All on Df.

Does anyone know why the images posted here get so much less sharp? I've noticed that some people's postings are tack sharp; but of late, mine get resized about 10% smaller and are very mushy.

OK, this time they didn't get resized and mushed. I clearly don't know what's going on.

And if you're looking for an 85 f/1.8 H C Auto, I have an extra. It's not Rafael condition. See Adventures with Nikki for an idea of what can be done with it.

Great travel log Andy.
My eyes went straight to ''Bob Marley' when viewing the cows in the street image.
Cows, motorbike, reggae and saris. Don't see that very often.

Question - of all the lenses you took which one have you used most - and why?

Cheers Colin, that Bob Marley mural was very helpful for finding our way to our hotel through the myriad of small streets.

By far most used not surprisingly is the 28/2 as my walk about lens, I usually have that on camera and take one of the others with me each day.

Leighton,

Looking at your 2.8 photo page I find it hard to believe you have had that lens for so long.

You and the XT-2 do it justice.

I missed it so much I caved in and picked up another........
:-)

Jack


Addicting aren't they? I can't believe you sold me your's, and for so cheap! I think about you every time I use it.

I just read the last entry of that blog. Incredible concept! Was that not done again? Very intriguing and beautiful images.

Is the 85 hc auto AI converted? If so I'll buy it. I don't have 85 focal length.
