It's magic. I took this in my parking lot approx 150-200ft away (according

to me eyeballing google maps. note to self: look into geotagging on the

cheap). Nifty.

 

Though seriously, this manual-everything is like a complete reset of all my

skill development (however little of it). It took about 8 or 9 attempts to

get this shot. Getting the right exposure via trial-and-error, getting the

right focus, compensating for the MUCH greater camera/hand shake at max

zoom, etc. I still haven't decided whether I feel more fulfilled having to

work for what would otherwise be a straightforward shot or more frustrated

at how painfully slow I am.

 

Said pain is very much mitigated by the awesome, clicky aperture ring. It's

so chunky and solid and makes simultaneous aperture and shutter adjustments

feasible (normally my D40 adjusts shutter and aperture with the same dial

and a shift key) and deliciously tactile. Did I mention it was chunky and

clicky?
