Yesterday was 200mm NIKKOR day, and I tested your patience with a batch from my first test walk.
Today, I’m going to exercise a little restraint, and share just one pic from my newly-arrived #Viltrox 56mm f/1.4 short tele (85mm equivalent, a classic portrait length.)
I can tell I’m going to love working with this lens … gorgeous bokeh, great detail …
Lola’s napping on one of the synthesizers, but she can always tell when I’m enlisting her for #photo time.

4/4 The running man was over two blocks away; the detail shot is a 1:1 crop. From two blocks!
The Pell Bridge in Newport is 16 miles south of Bristol, where this photo was taken.
The length of the bridge is about the size of a quarter held at arms length; this is a view I’ve never had with the naked eye.
3/4 These shots would be impossible without the tele’s long reach; you couldn’t get close enough to fill the frame.
2/4 It’s great for grabbing details; for a lot of these shots, I was a block or two away from the subject!
1/4 My NIKKOR 200mm tele arrived at lunchtime … here’s what it looks like on the adapter, with the built-in lens hood extended.
You’d think it was ungainly, but it’s surprisingly easy to carry and walk around with.
Of course, I had to go outside and test it out.
