Most of yesterday’s photos came from my damaged lens. So, I took it out today to try some shots at the Tahitian dance contest. Well, it completely and totally died today.
But, a lesser replacement is on order. It has two advantages – well other than I hope it works – it is “water resistant” when used with one of my camera bodies. And it will weight about 1/2 what my favorite now dead lens weights. I am not expecting it to be as good as the Leica. I just want it to be “fine”. Stay tuned.
Leaving winter quarters one week from today. It is 78° here. 54° in Santa Barbara – my first stop on the way back east. It is 24° in Fairbanks which I considered visiting. Until I remembered that I am not a winter person. Not even close. 54° will be cold enough.
