On Saturday night I headed out to see my buddy Tim the jazz trumpeter.
I last took pix of him with this band about a year ago, so some of
the faces may be a bit familiar to some of you. I mostly alternated
between three lenses: Tamron f2.5 90mm, Pentax f2.5 135mm and Vivitar
Series 1 f2.8 constant aperture 35-85 zoom - all manual focus, but it
was so dark in there autofocus was useless anyway. Oh yeah, the shot
of the whole band was with my Zenitar f2.8 16mm fisheye (semi-fisheye
on the *istD). All shots handheld at between 1/15th and 1/20th, hence
the softness to many of them.
I was concentrating on tight shots, because I need some of this band:

Really nice set, Frank! I especially like tim_smile. What's the club
you were in?
btw, have you got a non-stock focusing screen in your *istD? When it's
too dark for AF to work I find it's damned hard to focus manually too
(especially wide-open).
