Today is probably the first Friday that I could leave work early. I decided to make best use of the time to take some photos. It was too late to drive to Point Lobos or Half Moon Bay, but I still got ample time to photograph near the Bay. Remembering my own notes on using macro lens, I took out my rarely used 105mm Nikkor and headed toward the Bayfront park.
To my surprise, I found I had gotten used to the manual focus of Zeiss and didn't like the auto-focus Nikkor that much any more. I also noticed the legendary 105mm (I got the older version) did show its age. Its color was not as saturated as I remembered and the image seemed to be "flat" compared to the Zeiss. (Most likely the result of using a telephoto lens, or maybe I am just spoiled by the Zeiss.) Fortunately I didn't do much macro photography so I had no plan to upgrade my 105mm, but I could hardly wait to use my Zeiss lens again.
