The Significant Other and I took the metro train into town today, heading to the Humbold Forum in the center of Berlin. The first photo I took on this week’s trip to our Nation’s capital. I just love the striped hoodie and its reflection in the train’s window. I shot this image from the hip using zone focusing on my Nikon Zf. Easy to do as I had a manual M42 mount lens attached via an adapter, the roughly 60 year old Carl Zeiss Jena Flektogon 2.8/35. Image specs 1/400 sec @ f/4 with ISO 1400. Setting an f/4 aperture, the aperture/range markings on top of the Flektogon told me that the guy staring into his cell phone had to be in focus. Post-processing in Lightroom Classic.
Have a great Sunday
Marcus

Awesome shot! The reflection of the stripes makes it extra interesting!
Impressive image Marcus. I only tried zone focusing once when I was in Manhattan at a Leica promotion in SoHo. A friend had asked if I wanted to join her at this promotion where the Leica store would loan you cameras for an hour and you would wander the neighborhood taking street photos. It was a fun day and the cameras were beautiful.
Yay zone focusing!
A great covert photo, Marcus! Excellent. I have been shooting in Aperture mode a lot these days, all I need to do is adjust the ISO which is nice.
