I took the S.F.O.M 100mm f3.2 lens for a walk at lunchtime to get to know it better. Some lenses, after the first few shots, you will know whether you are going to like it or not. This is one of these lenses. For one thing, this lens is surprisingly photographic. By that I mean it's feels, and it renders pictures, like a lens designed to take pictures, not to project them. The bokeh is very nice, and the lens is sharp; even the corners are quite good at its working aperture. Clearly, this lens was designed to project larger than 16mm format film. The aperture is not very fast for a projection lens, but I actually like it this way. Sometimes too thin a depth of field is too much of a good thing. This lens has become one of my favourite projection lenses.

These are all great photos, but the anchor needs to be seen more. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThanks Steve. Every time a ship stops at the Redpath sugar refinery, I want to take pictures of them, and the anchor is by far the most interesting part of them. This one is the third ship I have seen since I started working around the area. These ships usually stay a day or two, and leave after the raw sugar is emptied.
