Give the Stress a Drink

(Ricoh GRD 4)

A very distressful look he had. Can't take my eyes off his facial expression and can't help wondering what was bothering him.

I have to say I was very pleased with it and didn't miss having a zoom or longer lens at all. The 28mm is a perfect single focal length and proved itself useful in a variety of situations. Landscapes are clearly well suited to the 28mm but less obviously I have also found it to be great for portraits. With a 28mm you are forced to do 2 things. First, to get in closer ...
