I ventured into Manhattan last night, walked across the Williamsburg Bridge to the Lower East Side. It was very surreal, as the lights in Brooklyn were all on, but as I reached the halfway point across the bridge……..darkness. Yes, there were cars, and on major intersections, large really bright lights on generators set up by the city. But there were blocks and blocks of pure darkness, only lit by the moon and occasional car. Very few people were out. Those that were carried flashlights or candles. My friend Michael and I spent about six hours walking around and shooting. From 9pm until 3am, and plan to return again tonight.

Despite it’s incongruous look, the combo really surprisingly well. The Nikkor 180mm f/2.8 ED-IF AIS lens, was one of the all time great mid to long fast tele lenses ever made. The honor now probably goes to the Leica 180mm f/2.8 APO lens, but then again the price of it . . well out of reach for most. The afore mentioned Nikkor was one of the lenses that I (in a moment of delirium) sold in 2003. This was done after I had gotten my second 80-200mm f/2.8 Nikkor Zoom and at the time thought that I didn’t need the 180 anymore. Big mistake. Some years later I got this newer version AF-D model, so I sort of made up for my mistake, sort of. Yes I have been happy with the newer one on my Nikon bodies. The AF may not be as fast as the new 70-200mm VR II zooms, but boy is it a lot lighter in weight. On the weddings I shoot, I carry one body with the 85mm f/1.4 AF-D and another body with the 180mm AF-D on it. However my assistant discovered that 180 and being younger and quicker always ends up grabbing it to use. It is that much of a pleasure to shoot with.
