That's a very interesting park, Pieter! TFS!

All with Fujinon 1:1.9 f=3.3 cm, lens removed from a Fujica Half 1.9 rangefinder, and A7M3. Despite being half frame it almost covers the FF sensor. It has neither focussing helicoid nor aperture, so f/1.9 is all it has to offer. Lens nicely tucked into an M50 helicoid.

After the Nelson Mandela bridge was declared structurally unsound and was thought to be in risk of crashing down upon a train station and motorway, it was closed off, deconstructed and the bridging sections replaced. It remains to be seen if the bridge, once voted one of the ugliest in The Netherlands, will be rebuilt in its original design or be replaced by something more appealing to the public.

33.1: Nelson Mandelabrug 2.0


33.2: Station entry gates


33.3: Round-up


33.4: Shine your light on me

I managed to get out on Sunday afternoon for a few shots, down at the Marine Lake the first two were using the A7m3 wearing an old A-mount Sigma 24/f2.8 via the LA EA5 the rest were using the Sony 28/f2 on my A6000

A couple of minutes later I heard Dad shouting "Come back, come back" !!
There was no danger!
#4 Bizarre - I was taken by this alien seabird 'strutting his stuff' with almost none of the walkers taking the slightest bit of notice !

That's all for last week, hope you enjoyed (or hated) some - no great hopes of finding time for any in the 30-36 range despite having some relevant lenses - but no fear I will try !
All the best
Richard
