A Walk Along Harbourfront

Harbourfront is currently undergoing a huge face lift. Everywhere you see, is construction and mess. Consequently, you don't see many tourist there at the moment. Even along the boardwalk near the ferry dock, which is usually packed during lunch time in a nice day, but today there aren't that many people either. Hopefully the construction will soon end and we will have a brand new and better Harbourfront this summer.

All pictures below were taken with the Minolta RF 250mm f5.6 mirror lens. Still one of the most compact mirror lenses around.

Carl Zeiss Jena Sonnar 200mm f2.8 - Photo Set

A few more pictures from yesterday. As I wrote before, each lens will perform slightly differently depending on what camera it's being used on. On the late model of Canon APS-C cameras, like the T2i, 7D, the image quality isn't great. The pictures just seem to lack definition. Although to me, the image quality from these cameras were never really good to begin with. On the NEX series, especially the NEX-6, this lens appears to be very sharp, like it was on the full frame Canon (1Ds and 5D that I used). Can't say I understand why; just an observation.
