One camera, one lens ... I also had a point & shoot with me and my phone .... I confess I took some significant amount of footage with these too ...



... later.

So. I did browse through my point & shoot backup ... and as I was there I picked some here and there:

Lots of hats, a bagplant and two vietsense

In Maastricht John was kind enough to lend me his 35-70 f3,5 Ai zoom. Even though I use a 55mm prime most of the time, I have som eproblem adjusting to the 35-70mm zoom range. Odd, but with the medium wide to medium tele range from 28-about 105mm I really adapt better to primes for photography where from about 100mm upwards I prefer a good zoom.

On the 35-70 f3,5 Ai, it's a very nice and sturdy lens with a two ring design. It is already sharp wide open so with an f3,5 open aperture I did not see a need to stop it down.

Here is a picture I made which, on my screen, shows me how nicely sharp the lens is. It has some vignetting wide open on th ewide end, is almost free of vignetting on the long end. I would say it is an excellent performer for candids in confined areas like gardens, events and indoors.



And after a good cup of coffee this was the last shot I made while in Maastricht. Waiting for the film from the Nikon F to be developed. I made a few photos of events and sights in Maastricht with the meterless F and my 5cm f2 Nikkor-S, the same lens used to photograph this delicious (finished) cappucino.



While waiting in Aachen Lumi told us that she wanted her car back real bad. We should go into the towtruck company office and surrender so they would give us the car back



Kristina explained Lumi that this would not work today, so next time she sees one of the men in yellow, she's allowed to be mean. This is them measuring the level of meanness that should still be ok.

Beautiful work Frank, and also from Kons.

Wider zooms take some time to get really used. Practically with a 35-70 it finds most use at the both ends, 35mm and 70mm, preventing to change to two (or three) different primes, especially when there is little room to manoeuvre.

No, it was refreshing, especially when visiting Fort Sint Pieter on the Sint-Pietersberg (+105m). 

Here a view on Maastricht, and left the first gate of the fortress. Also Hans is visible ;)

Fons: I was sweating all over though I did only bring very light gear.

Buddy: you make the D3 shots look like film in a very believable
way. This is so lovely. Just as your nice family two and four legged.

Thank you Frank. Sometimes I develop that way on purpose, sometimes (like yesterday) it just happens while I process the files to make them appear the way I feel is correct.

Thank you all as well on the nice commenst on our little family. My first two children (Amy and Lumi) are quite furry and walk on all fours. I hope our daughter will be a bit different (and I also hope she doesn't do tricks for treats too much because that can be quite taxing at times) ;)

I see you visited another very interesting part of Maastricht I completely forgot about.
