The Bridge
I’m going to miss this sweet lens. It will not work on the D800e — none of my existing Zeiss lenses will. Most will have to go but I’m keeping this one. What I really want to do is use it on a mirrorless APS-C camera body, like the X-Pro 1 or NEX 7. Its 45mm focal length will be the equivalent of a 67mm lens on that smaller format.

The Bridge
I have photographed this bridge more often than any single thing I can think of. I guess the river and its endlessly changing atmospheric conditions are an important part of its visual fascination. But the bridge’s monolithic and concrete structure are a refreshing change from my normal visual stuff. The formalism is regular, man-made, very different from the fractal-like formalism of the natural landscape. All it means is this: I like shooting this bridge because it is very different from my normal pursuit. And in that it can be refreshing.
