Katanaya Restaurant

I've had the pleasure of shooting with the original Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 today. The Mark I version features a distance scale and a metal mount unlike the Mark II version currently being sold today.

 

Most find the 5 blade aperture distracting as it is not very pleasing. I like it because of that look. Not to mention the lens is lighter than anything and makes that neat zip zip sound when it tries to find focus.

 

About the photo:

 

Today I had a bowl of spicy ramen at Katanaya. At first I was worried I ordered the wrong thing because I'm not a fan of chili oil as I had a bad experience with the stuff years ago.

 

Today I was taken back because the broth tasted nothing like what I expected it. A very savory, full bodied broth that went well with the ramen. I wanted to take the soup back with me to mop it up with a good baguette.
