Late to the party today ... but there is a reason. Scrapped what I planned to show in favor of some shots I took on the way home from running errands in late afternoon. Thought the juxtaposition of horses, snow, and late sun/shadows might make for some interesting composition. Horses were far away in a field far away. But the nice thing about horses, if you are patient they will come to you. So I covered a hundred yards to the fence, and they slowly made their hundred yards to me. And we had a shoot!

Glad I took the route home that I did. And glad that they tiny 50mm "E" fit into my holster case with room to spare.
Had the hot and sour soup, Siam rolls (like spring rolls), and Chicken Num Prik Pao (chicken, cashews, broccoli, and green beans with a red curry type sauce) - my favorite dish there. Had it "hot", on their spicy scale. I was in heaven.

Nice shots. Like how you got the horses coming over for a hand out. Perfect lighting and angles.
Do you have any problems focusing with the series e lens? I too wear glasses and sometimes getting sharp images. (not relying on the focus spot)

Glad you liked the shots, Bob. Yes focusing manually is difficult enough and I forgot to take my glasses off, which makes it doubly so. So these aren't as sharply focused and I would have liked....had to do a bit more in PP than normal. Normally I remember to take my glasses off, and since my long range vision is pretty sharp, I can usually get things to "snap" into focus. Not so easy with the glasses, as you point out.
