Picked up the SMC Pentax A 35-70mm f4 recently from a member here for $25 and have found it to be sharp and renders colors and bokeh nicely.

Here's a few night shots from last weekend:

Shooting from Empire Fulton in BK? I've gotten a few good shots of the bridges but from the Manhattan side towards Brooklyn. Cool shots!

Brooklyn Bridge Park - they've done a nice job here of walkways and green spaces - great for setting ups for photos (just no tripods on the lawn areas as the cop told me lol).

Why no tripods on the grass?

I don't know - possibly one of those weird photographer prejudices - you know, where you can't take a 'professional camera' into a place yet people have cellphones that shoot 4K and so forth that they have no problem with.

It is downtown Brooklyn... cops have nothing else to cover (which is a good thing).

I'll soon do a shoot of the Kosciuszko Bridge - I think I found a nice spot in Queens to get a good capture... Probably will do in part w my A 50/1.4, so it'll be posted here.

ha yeah - not - many other places are like this too. I can understand that lots of tripods may get in the way but there is a lot of dumb rules applied to photographers who happen to have a 'professional; looking camera' - just stupid!

Here it is the Kosciuszko Bridge (more at Bridges thread):

A 50/1.4:

I was too close for comfort with the 50mm...

Also, as an add-on, bit of Brooklyn (Manhattan side though)

All shot last night 11pm to 12am
