As a follow up to Saturday’s post, I am posting this sunny morning photo of Conway Scenic Railroad’s GP35 216 the I exposed using the Nikon Z6 mirrorless digital camera fitted with a vintage manual-focus Nikkor f2.5 105mm lens.

Here I’ve opened the aperture to its widest setting and manually focused on the front of the locomotive.

To demonstrate the exceptional sharpness of this lens with the digital camera I’ve also included a much enlarged portion of the image focused on the number boards.

This telephoto view with shallow focus helps set off the front of the locomotive from the rest of the scene which adds both drama and intrigue.
