Sigma 60mm F2.8 lens (Part 2)

Yes, there's more! I enjoyed using the new lens so much on Saturday I decided to use it again Sunday morning at the Misaki Morning Market.

6:00 in the morning and it's already crowded.

Not to worry, we have volunteer crowd control keeping an eye on the situation.

The Morning market has it all, and that includes breakfast too!

Good morning and welcome to market!  An official greeter hard at work.

The master slices tuna.

As she puts together maguro domburi.

People from all over come here to shop.

The famous Miura cabbage.

There's more here than fresh vegetables, we got fish too!

I like shopping here.

Sazae by the basket full - yummy.

I think this guy is trying to start a new fashion trend with the towel wrap around his head.

Hmmm... it seems to be catching on.

Well, there you have it, it's a certified fashion trend.

I guess he didn't get the word.

This guy is packing marinated tuna meat - very tasty stuff!

He's selling dried mini shrimp.

Off in the distance is the shirasu stand.

Time for this guy to head home and that goes for me too.

The Morning Market is a great way to spend a Sunday morning.
Thanks for stopping by!

Sigma 60mm F2.8 Lens in Action

Yesterday I went to YodobashiCamera in Yokohama and bought the new Sigma 60mm F2.8  lens for Micro 4/3 camera. I figured that since I was already in Yokohama and it was a nice day I might as well take some pictures and see what the lens could do. I put the lens on my Panasonic Lumix GX1 and set out on foot to do my thing.

It's another bright sunny day.

I think I'll try my hand at painting after I retire.

Joe Cool!

Tea for two.

For some people, it's a dream come true.

A family out for a day of boating.

Love is in the air.

Joy is in the air too!

That sure is a big ship.

I think I'll call this picture "Blue Yokohama" .

It's a good life.

And, if you thought it couldn't get better... think again. It's an outdoor beer & wine festival complete with Tijuana Brass style band.

Born to be wild!

Or, wet and wild.

Slow down and enjoy the day.

I think this guy needs to eat a bigger lunch.

Well, that's it for today. I really like the new lens.
As always, thanks for stopping by!
