My Dad had a lens cleaner back in the late '70s ( or was it the early '80s?) which had the following printed on it.
You can't be optimistic with a misty optic.
I've been finding each week of this project starts with optimism. A new week, a new lens (focal length at least) and what looks like a fair amount of time to get some decent pictures. That optimism is always short-lived as the days fly by and the wind and the rain just don't let up.
The UK got bashed with Storm Dudley and Storm Eunice this week, but around the central belt where we live, we missed the really harsh weather and just got the usual high winds and rain. As I write this, I can hear garden furniture blowing around outside and the sound of the wind howling all around the house.
My son is studying guitar, bass, and music technology at school. This week the Ebay fairies took three guitars away, which gave us some extra space. That space was quickly filled by a new bass guitar. But he's a happy chappie with his new axe!
It's time to switch the 50mm (FF equivalent) on my X-Pro2 to the 75mm for the last week of February
