I headed back out today to continue getting up to speed with the Thypoch Simera 50mm f1.4 lens. A lovely lens with a bit of vignetting tossed in for flavor. I have this idea that you need to mentally "break in" a new lens. It's never an automatic transition from one known lens to a new one in the mix. You have to handle the new one, play with it and look at the resulting files. So far I'm happy I bought it.
I was out for an hour. When I started my walk from the car to the other end of the shopping strip it was sunny and 105 degrees. When I got back to the car less than an hour later the skies were dark gray, the winds had picked up, the rain clouds started randomly dropping big drops in a slow and erratic fashion and the air temperature dropped into the low 90s. The lens didn't care. It continued to work as I expected.
B. and I made travel arrangements for a short, late September vacation today.
Travel to most America cities is dirt cheap at the end of next month.
We splurged on the hotel though.
More details to come? Maybe....
But the pressing question is...which camera and which lens to take along. Or should I just use my phone?
(kidding about the phone).
I donated $250 today to be a supporting sponsor for one of my best
friends photography show that opens near the end of the year.
More details on the show later.
