While I Wait [Again]

My 2026 gear plan collapse means that until the RF 24-70mm f/2.8 STM lens arrives, hopefully later this week, I have only the RF 85mm f/2 lens. I know that the 85mm lens will see far less use than the zoom once it arrives, but something longer than 70mm is necessary and the close focusing and f/2 aperture of the 85mm lens elevates it over other options. Plus, I already have it.

A day trip to the southern Adirondacks yesterday resulted in some images from Beecher Creek in Edinburg, Saratoga County, and Northampton Beach State Park on Great Sacandaga Lake in Fulton County. 

This state park, and the "lake" in general, is a MAGA boater magnet in summer but it's a nice place off season. There are both B&W and color galleries on the website in the NY State Parks folders.
