Had one Thursday morning class and went fairly well. Just two more weeks until this semester is over. Just went over some extra credit, new things and class was pretty much over. After class headed outside and out of no where it starts to rain which I really dislike. Billy is one of the people who I have met this semester; Billy and me are working on our finals together. He decided to come pick me up after class and brainstorm everything all the pros and cons. Stopped by a cafe joint first and then off to Japan Town. Decided to work at New People Cafe for a while. Afterwards we walked around shooting. Since Billy has a 135mm F/2 and I always wanted a 135mm lens, I used it through out the day. That lens is razor sharp even shot at F/2. I didn't play much with defocus control since I just wanted to get certain street photos. Although it's a bit heavy, you can easily tell the built quality in the lens.

After Japan Town, Billy wanted to stop by Fully Laced at Stones Town so we headed out to the store. Didn't stay to long and got some food at the food court. Since we were both tired, decided to park at Daly City Bart garage and take Bart back home. Since Billy had to run some errands downtown, he got off Montgomery while I headed home after a long day. I got another long weekend that I'm expecting not to mention finals as well. Going to be tired and running on barely any sleep.

As for today's 366 Entry, it's a photo of Billy that ran into his ex's grandma. At that time, we were both just waiting at Japan Town next to the peace tower, and by his luck ran into her. I was using Billy's 135mm, and this is an example of how sharp the lens is even shot wide open. Edge to edge sharpness, this lens is just amazing plus more. I did crop the photo and you can barely tell I did. While doing some test shots, the distance on getting someone is about a cross street exactly. You probably need that much space if you want the whole shot from head to toe. The focus is pretty fast and every time I took a look into the glass, you can see all the colors of the coating which, is just amazing. I always wanted a 135mm and finally got the chance just to shoot around. Although, majority of the times I use my 17-35mm or my 50mm, I'm used to shooting at a wider focal length. Using the 135mm again gave it a different prospective view on things. It makes you think just like any fixed focal length, which makes you become better. I don't think there were any cons, except considering that it's a bit heavy and shooting while walking, you would have to shoot at a faster shutter speed depending on what your ISO and f stop is. Even at times while Billy was driving his truck and I would be in the passenger seat shooting, at 1/8000 of a second at F/2, some photos that were focus after composing and getting the frame right, weren't focus. It might have been the bumpy roads or steady issues, but again that's some issues I found myself thinking still. Besides that con, everything else about the lens I dig very much. All in all, the image gives a good example and anyone who owns, used, or rented a 135mm, can vouch for me.
