W-Nikkor 35/2.5 & No Kings.

[wlewisiii]

Eau Claire Wi “No Kings” on a cold (50f/11c) and rainy/misty miserable day. I took the Leica M 240 and used the Amedeo to mount the 35/2.5 again.

This was when the were setting up. My knees and back, gifts of 16 years in Uncle's Camo, said I couldn't stick around.

At this point my knees and back were screaming at me so I gimped off and did a couple of other things before coming back to see how well it had filled up the park and band stand in our little (75K ) town.


A few were still arriving.




But even here in small town USA, lots of people were coming out despite really poor weather.





Local media, ever loving to undercount said "hundreds". Knowing the size of the park, I'd guess around a 1000 showed despite the weather.

Can’t trust the in camera meter too much

My 240 meter is quite reliable.

Didn’t mean to be critical, but there are 3 images!
It pretty easy to fool an in camera meter if one has too much sky.

Mosty what happened. Very grey sky and I'm used to using 50mm lenses which usually have me metering down where I should. A lot of snap shooting too because of the type of event. Not everyone wants to be on camera...
