Railroad picture of the day
When I was riding home from work, I reached the viaduct at the east end of the Hawthorne Bridge just as the southbound 18:15 Cascades started accelerating up the ex-SP line along the east side of the river. So I quickly stopped the bicycle, pulled it out of the bike lane, and waited for the train to come zipping by.
I was using an Industar 50-2 pancake lens, and it seems that the new replacement working *istDS meters a little incorrectly on that lens; if there’s any sort of glare, it wants the exposure to be more than a little overexposed. The lens cost me $1, so it’s not as if it’s a surprise that it should be a bit glitchy, but I do need a way to tell the pentax that the meter is lying to it and it should set the exposure shorter than it wants.
Fortunately the 55mm Super-Tak doesn’t suffer from this, despite the slight radioactive yellowing of the optics.
