One of the few times during the year that I post in color. The Easter Parade in New York is not really a parade. Fifth avenue between 49th and 55th streets is closed off to traffic - that's the area just in front of St. Patrick's Cathedral and St. Thomas Church - and exhibitionists come to strut their stuff. It's an ad lib bazaar for any excuse to dress up.
It was a great opportunity for me to test out the kit that I want to take on my trip to Israel this May.
I eliminated one lens from my bag, the 18mm. So now I have it down to two bodies: the X-T1 and X-Pro2; three prime lenses: 14/2.8, 23/2, and 35/2 (I actually used the 35/1.4 today, but I've already purchased the f2 lens, just waiting for delivery so I can test out the acuity against the f1.4). I'm taking one zoom lens: 55-200mm. I hardly ever use it, but just can't seem to cut the cord and leave it behind. I keep thinking that the one time I leave it, I'm going to really need it and regret not taking it.
After the trip I'll most likely put the 23/1.4, 35/1.4, and 50-140 up for sale ..... and then buy the 50/2.
