Somebody, somewhere mentioned small lenses, so I simply had to take a photo or two. 😅
Although I'll use whatever I have, I do prefer smaller lenses - it's easier to carry them around, they're unobtrusive and fun

49mm lens cap for the comparison.

As many of you know, I've had a long-standing affair with prime lenses, particularly the 28mm, 35mm, and 50mm varieties.

Each of these lenses has its unique charm and set of capabilities, making them go-to choices for photographers around the globe.

I recently went to a new optician, McOptic. My contact lenses cost me a lot less there than at my previous opticians and I was satisfied with the quality of the service. I go for a sight test once a year and buy lenses for six months from the optician. I buy lenses and cleaning products for the other six months online, usually at discountlens.ch

Do I need everything here for a day, day-and-a-half of vacation? Probably not, maybe I can switch to a smaller bag somehow...

Do you wear glasses or lenses? Why?

Hello fediverse!...

Go Wide! A look at four top ultra-wide primes for Micro Four Thirds (www.dpreview.com)

For a while, it was actually not easy to get ultrawide rectilinear primes for Micro Four Thirds, but in the last 5-6 years or so, the Chinese lens makers have started adding a lot of options, lead by Laowa. Last year Panasonic finally released the 9mm f/1.7, a lens I've been calling out for a long time....

I’m going to cheat a bit for #SilentSunday #NaturePhotography because if you’ve ever been around harbor/spotted #seals, you know they are anything but quiet.

Photos taken earlier today at Point Arena, CA, US. Licensed under CC-BY-NC-SA 4.0 Intl.

A small group of four harbor/spotted seals sun themselves on a seaweed-covered rock in the ocean. The whiskered nose of a fifth seal can be seen just sticking out of the foamy water, as if about to jump up onto the rock to join the others. One of the four on the rock is massive, easily two to three times the size of the others, and a mottled camel brown. Another is a darker grey, and is the only one which seems to be alert, almost looking toward the camera.
Five harbor/spotted seals sun themselves on rocks covered in glistening seaweed, barely poking out of the ocean. All but one of the seals seem to be awake and alert, looking vaguely toward the camera. One of the seals is clearly a very young pup, a light spotted grey, next to its mother, and is looking directly at the camera.
