I struggle with its autofocus, think there is a learning curve!

I'm having a blast using it with zone focus for street photos - fast w/o AF

Years ago I remember an article in American Photographer magazine on a prominent New York wedding photographer who had all the lenses for his Hasselblad locked at 7 feet (2.1 meters) with set screws. That would seem to be the ultimate zone focus. Select your lens. Stand 7ft. (2.1m) from your subject and shoot.

I'd say it depends on the focal length but roughly 2 m is where I set the 28mm.

There is no end to this. Spring still is far away? This morning's view.

Whether or not the real culprit is depicted, the outcome is splendid.

Hi Birna, thank you, the weather is already nice here, and the insects are enjoying the sun.

On March 27, 2026, the wall relief by artist Jan Dijker was officially unveiled at the bus platform of Tilburg Station. The artwork had disappeared from public space for over twenty years after demolishing of the original building.   With a length of nearly eighty meters, the object is once again part of the streetscape in Tilburg.

Here a small part of this piece of art from 1957.

Interesting. Very nice wall relief.
