Fort Point

Saturday, we had a wonderful day, and I took time off from unpacking after remodeling the house. A group of us went to Fort Point, which is a Civil war era fort nestled under the Golden Gate Bridge. Had a very good time, but I have misplaced my full memory card and I am left with last dozen shots on the second card.

Lens Experiment

I recently bought a subscription to Reid Reviews. He had an excellent article on wide angle lenses for Canons. The current crop of Canon wide angles are ok but not great – plus, very expensive. So, I tried his suggestion for saving money. Instead, I bought a Zeiss Jena Flektogon 20mm lens (multi-coated) off of EBay for $250. Then, I bought the Haoda M42 adapter with auto-focus confirm and crossed my fingers. The lens works great and the adapter works great.

Now, I just have to figure how to compose with a 20mm lens!
