Mercury Comet, Saint Paul

I grabbed my Nikkor 55mm f/3.5 Micro lens to walk around with on this day. I hardly ever have this lens mounted on my film Nikons, but it's pretty awesome. This was the best shot of the day (and probably the best shot of the roll), and I have to (partly) credit the qualities of the lens.

 

Actually, most of my photos are taken with the Nikkor 55mm f/3.5 Micro lens. That's because most of my photos are digital photos of my film negatives, and that's what I use on my film scanning rig. I'm not sure if I have a sharper lens, at least not in a Nikon F-Mount format. The only bad thing about the lens is that it flares badly, so if it's super sunny, it's a bad choice.
