Last week I bought this old Nikkor 28-85. Since then I am astonished how good the macro mode works. Even wide open the old lens works good enough for me.

The day before yesterday I was preparing a nice meal for my family and our friends. Of course the camera was not too far away. While cutting all this red cabbage - a nice side dish with the generous cutting of game that made the meal really good i took this photo. The big knife cutting the capture in halfes was begging to be photographed.

My daughter decided that a couple of cupcakes would make the day just perfect. While we were decorating the little cakes I got a nice chance to play with my new old AF Nikkor 28-85 Macro.
I bought this lens for just 60 Euros on Ebay. I am really pleased. The old Nikkor performs too good to be true. It is razor sharp, no CA, very low distortion at all focal lenghts and the Macro option is just great.
Why does nobody like these old goodies anymore?

A window in the bright sunlight. It was not unusual warm for the end of october, but the sun was nice. This window was a real attraction and caught my eye.
