I decided to carry the Sony A7iii yesterday when I got The Girl out for a walk. I knew it had a Nikon lens affixed to the body, but did not take time to check the lens before we headed out the door. When I did remove the lens cap, I noticed that my Nikon Series E 50mm f/1.8 was attached to the camera.
It is a decent lens, especially given its price point. But it lacks the better coatings of the Nikkor lenses that I have in my collection. I shrugged and decided to use what I brought. (And that was the only lens that I brought.)
So, we walked one of our shorter loops because it was late and I had a couple of appointments to prepare for. Along the way, I noticed this group of signs. Immediately, the classic song Sign, Sign, Everywhere a Sign filtered in my consciousness, my innate tendency to free associate kicking into gear.
So, we paused for me to make a few captures, then continued our walk.
When we arrived back home, The Girl headed to bed for a nap and I looked through the few captures. I chose this one for posting.
And, although the Nikon Series E 50mm f/1.8 is a good enough lens, I have better Nikkors in my collection. The Series E can go to someone else. In fact, when we arrived home, I mounted the Nikkor 50mm f/2 AI on the Sony.
It was a good walk and a good outing. I also remembered a very clever song from long ago. Life is good. I am grateful.
