Canal in Georgetown
We went for a walk around Georgetown with some friends last weekend, so I brought along the new-to-me Yashinon 35/2.8.

Little red helicopters
A bunch of bright red samaras on our red maple tree in the backyard. Shot with the Vivitar 135/2.8 screw-mount lens that I found in Baltimore.
An Eastern carpenter bee hovering in the backyard. We’ve got a little colony of them living in the wooden deck railing. They’re a little obnoxious – buzzing us when we’re trying to nap in the sun, but they’ve never stung.

The Cape Roman
It seems like there are always a couple of tug boats hanging around at Fells Point in Baltimore. I took this with a Yashinon 35/2.8 that I also got at Hampden Junque. I think it’s pretty similar to my 35/3.5 Super-Takumar, but the wider max aperture makes for easier focusing and nicer bokeh. I don’t like the feel of Yashinon lenses much – the focus and aperture grips on Super-Takumar lenses are hard to beat.
