Re: Photography Thread
Tempted to take my show on the road this weekend, if the weather holds out in NO this weekend,
I think I will. Picked up a 24mm 2.8 manual focus AI lens and think it will be almost perfect for the light
I end up shooting on my late night trips. I think I should have gotten a faster lens, but it gets expensive
fast once you add WIDE to fast. I think my f/3.3 18-55mm does a decent job, but I take two cameras with me.
50mm f/1.8 ends up being a stovepipe at DX crop, and even the 35mm f/1.8 is too tight to do well in the quarter in
the early dawn and dark. So I needed a second, fast, wide alternative. It meters, so that's all I really insist on
in a old-time lens. I needed to test it tonight, hell I still have light, lemme go....
