Another pair of lenses I ran across looking for my Hexanon 100/2.5 (still not found) are my Ai-S Nikkor 28/2 and 105/2.5; it's been a while since I used them, so figured I'd pull them out. Back to the Plaza!

Lots of fountains...

I mean, lots of fountains.

(Using the S5 for this shoot because although the Nikkors aren't that big, they are quite heavy.)

The previous photo I posted probably sounded the warning bells that some train photos were on the way.

It was late afternoon so the light inside the station was challenging, with splashes of direct sunshine and deep shadows. It's a testament to the malleability of the raw files from the S5II that I was able to get some reasonable photos in such conditions.

And I have to say (again) that the LUMIX 24-105mm is such a great lens. Extremely versatile for my purposes.
