Safe!
2016, Baseball, Beyond 200 feet of My House™, Favourite, Inspiration, Nikon, Nikon 300mm f/4E PF ED VR, Nikon D810, Portrait, Q&A, Sports, Teaching pointI love the placement of the elements here… including the stray helmet to the right.
On another note, I’m really digging the Nikon 300mm f/4 E PF ED VR (a lens whose name is longer than its focal length!).
It’s slightly larger than my Sigma 50/1.4 ART, but weighs less (755 g for the Nikon, 815 g for the Sigma), making it relatively easy to carry around.
Surprisingly, the 300mm focal length has proven to be very versatile.

Test Shots: Leica M8 and 75mm Summarit.
Inspiration, Leica 75mm Summarit f/2.5, Leica M8 (CCD Lives!), Q&A, Teaching point, Within 200 feet of My House™I welcomed the return of an old friend recently: the Leica M8. It was the gateway camera for me into the world of rangefinders, almost 10 years ago.
Today, I welcomed another old friend, the Leica 75 Summarit f/2.5. Seeing as the entire Summarit line of lenses have been updated recently, there are currently many great deals to be had on the “old” versions. As it happens, the 75/2.5 is one of my all-time favourite Leica lenses (see my brief 75mm Summarit review here).
As soon as the 75/2.5 arrived this afternoon, I stepped outside (but Only Within 200 feet of My House™) to shoot some quick test shots while the light was still good.
It’s nice to see that my two friends still play nicely together.

We did have spring for a few days, but winter has returned.
So, here we are… inside again, back in front of our bay window.
Occasionally, a burst of sunlight overcomes the darkness for a while.
Patience, patience.
