Back to Ultra Wide

I had to go back and look at my transaction history at MPB to see when the last time I had a focal length wider than 24mm. It was in early September, 2024 when I traded the 16mm, 28mm and 50mm non IS STM primes for the RF 24mm f/1.8 IS STM lens. Before that, I had a couple copies of the RF 14-35mm f/4L lens at various times as well as an earlier copy of the 16mm STM. I also used an EF 16-35mm f/4L lens with an adapter on EOS R bodies.

I used the 16mm and 28-70mm lenses at a non-sunrise this morning more to get some focal length samples than anything. Here are focal length examples, using the zoom lens at 50mm.

Here is a 16mm shot looking back at lock E5.

Here is a 100% crop of some bald eagles. There were four juveniles and two adults in the area while I was there.

And fog filled in at 5:30 AM, ten minutes after actual sunrise time.
