Roller Derby

Last night I went to my first Roller Derby bout in Yonkers. Though the home team was beaten, and I still don’t quite get all the rules, it was a great night. Most of these were shot with my as-of-yet unreviewed Nikon 135mm f/2.8 pre-ai. It’s soft at f/2.8, but the focusing ring of this early 70s lens is smooth and precise.

The lighting was rather terrible but the D700 powered through in the ISO4000 range. I do really wish I had brought my 85mm f/1.4, though. the 105 or 135mm f/2 DCs would have been nice, too.
