Something different kit wise. Samyang 85mm F1.4. Another gem lens I can see already. Manual Focus again. I have not even tried the A setting yet because my 135mm was terrible on the A setting but I guess I should try it perhaps. This lens on ApSc is a bit like a 135mm F2 on full Frame camera but on ApSc it is a stop brighter for a lower iso. Strange how these things work out.
This is a K5 sensor camera not a K7 camera with this 85mm Lens.


Here some of today's shots.

And these today. Same K5 camera with 85mm Samyang. I rarely shoot sport but I was really thrilled to find this Park action and after just a few shots no longer than 5 minutes I had keepers. Manually focussed and vastly superior to what many sport photographers consider good shots. Mine show drama and speed and action. It is sport after all. Yes you can clearly see I have issues with how sport photography is done these days. ;)

I like #1 -- but I'm a civil engineering and transportation guy... so I suppose that makes sense. Also, #4 -- a cold beer and good vibes... sounds good!
 
These from today. I expected some better ones than I got from a certain place I have used before but I did ok in other shots.
I understand many people hate street photos so I do not say too much. I love the potential of street photos so will keep trying to get that something amazing. I know it is out there.

Shot pictures today with the Nikon D700 and 105mm F1.4 Nikon lens. Very good lens for this night street work BUT no in body stabilization is the drawback.
