He was aware of you, and about to clean your filter with a few drops from the end of the trombone! Great close-up shot.

Great shot. Plus, description of how you did it.
That is a great contribution and thanks.

And what lens(es) you use on these occasions? I might prefer (I think) a 85/1.4 or perhaps a 28-70/2.8. (or the Tammy version)

[MFS]

Thanks. I do have some wishes left too. Like an 100/2 but I prefer an 85/1.4 D. I'm looking around for it, not in a hurry though. The CZ 135/1.8 is fabulous. I've had in on my D7D in Germany at the Kina. I'm curious for the new lenses CZ16-35 and the new coming 70-400 SSM. A CZ24-70 is also a desirable lens.

The 135 Zeiss might be my all-time favorite lens..Unfortunately I just don't see myself springing for one anytime soon.

And you're lucky too live in the USA. The amount in USD if very often here in Europe the amount in Euro's. But thje sad thing is that the Euro is a bit more expensive than the Dollar. (Dollar originates from the Dutch word Daalder btw. Daalder is an ancient coin, in Guilders time, just before the Euro came, a Daalder was Hfl 1.50) Just pronounce Daalder several times loud and you wil find out you will come out on Dollar).
