Testing the new to me lense

[Monday]

The 50mm wasn't cutting it for me for street photography on my commute to work. I just found the sidewalks to tight or too many people. Always found my self having to step in the street or just missing great shots because of cut off sections.

I ended up getting an early example Nikon 28 2.8 AIs MF lens. Man this thing is sharp and it is nice breaking away from af every now and then!

I like the first three images, nice clean well put together. The 4th one looks like a shot from the hip and doesn't really work for me.

imagemaker46 Thanks for the kind comments, the last is indeed a hip shot, I am trying to get better at those
