Benjamin Carter's Sphinx

Nikon D700 and Nikkor 24mm f/2.8 AF lens.

Wonderful light on a clear early November afternoon. I went equipped with a set of three lenses released to coincide with Nikon's introduction of automatic focus (not counting the two specialist lenses made a bit earlier specifically for the F3 camera). All of them must be 30 years old plus. Here I used the 24mm which is simply the optics of the 24mm AI repeated in AF mechanics. Likewise the 70-210mm f/4 which had an earlier iteration as a manual focus zoom in the 'E' series. And finally the 35-70mm f/2.8 which I guess has had the hardest life of the three but keeps turning in a stellar performance.
