(Relatively) cold morning heading to the farmer’s market before the day warms up a lot.

I wanted to see if I could fit this RAN sweater under my JL.

Love it.

But ya know...I always want to dress like this for the farmers' market, but in my neck of the woods the attendees are mostly hardcore vegetarian/animal rights/hippie types, who would probably have a stroke if they learned I was walking among them wearing a horsehide jacket and cordovan boots...! :eek:

I have some irrational fear that some radical will pull a stunt like the animal rights people used to do to people wearing fur coats...throw paint or the like at them. Of course I doubt that would really happen, but I'd rather wear my handknit sweater than test the level of crazy at the farmers' market!

Not the camera, but the lens slammed wide open that creates bokeh! Yes!!!! Your images are worthy of catalog presentation!
Well yes this is an extremely special lens. There really aren't that many 135mm F 1.8 lenses out there. The combination of how far the reach is plus the wide aperture creates an incredible combination of compression and bokeh. This lens is my favorite piece of technology I have ever owned.

This is how I feel every time there’s a camera/lens/photography discussion on here:

40’s Westbury. I hit all my vintage stuff with Urad dark brown this AM and am thrilled with the result. This jacket in particular. Crumby pic but it turned into more of a true russet, it was very flat before. You can see where I missed a spot below the chest pocket.

In the Midwestern USA Farmers' Markets usually have vendors of organic cheese & meats along with produce & honey, etc. and no one bats an eye at leather. At least in my experience.
The farmers market I go to in Michigan when I’m there is 90% meat! I have bought Fred Flintstone pork chops
