Tough guy
I shot this photo in a stadium where there was a cheerleaders' competition on Long Island. I remember that I used the Nikon FTn with the Nikkor 105mm F 2.5 on Tri-X. The year was1973. I like the intensity of this guy, a guard, who exudes a tough guy, take
no prisoners attitude. I originally named this image Mr. sensitivity out
of my usual sarcasm. I also like the flag on the shoulder that
complements the whole image.

Great news from Samyang
It's always good news when independent lens makers make waves. It means greater choice and affordability. So we welcome Samyang's bringing to the market five new manual focus lenses, that include a revised
'AE' version of its Canon-mount 35mm F1.4 which allows electronic
aperture setting from the camera body. There's also a novel Reflex 300mm F6.3
UMC CS is a mirror lens designed for APS-C SLRs, which will be available
in Canon, Nikon, Sony Alpha and Four Thirds mounts. It's nice to see the return of the once popular reflex lenses because they are so light and compact. Finally there are
three cinema versions of existing photo lenses - a 10mm T3.1 for APS-C
SLRs, a 12mm T2.2 for mirrorless cameras, and a 7.5mm T3.8 fisheye for
Micro Four Thirds. Go to their web site for the full data on these welcome additions. They all look nice and the prices will not break the bank.

There was something right about the skin tones of the D 1-X. Only the Fuji S2-Pro did better. The Nikkor 35-135 F 3.5-4.5 was used.
