Carl Zeiss Planar 50mm F/1.7 T*

I had some initial issues with getting the Carl Zeiss Planar 50mm F/1.7 T* to focus. I guess the main issue is that this being a manual focus lens, one must have really sharp eyes. I am already convinced what this excellent lens is capable of — amazing colors and sharpness even at 100% crop. Fine-tuned the adapter recently and here are some test shots taken today at F2.8. Pictures straight from camera, with no post-processing nor sharpening.

Baseball

Went to my first baseball game at Rogers Centre where the Toronto Blue Jays won against the visiting Oakland Athletics. Not bad considering I got to see a “Grand Slam” and even a near-brawl.

Buffalo, New York

With a couple of friends in 2 cars, I took a road trip across the border to Buffalo, New York. Albeit a short trip, it was fun and cheery being with good company. We wrapped up the day with 7o pieces of buffalo wings, but of course.
