Looking out over the crowds gathered for the memorial service, with Alcatraz in the background. Can there be a more perfect setting on so perfect a day?

Nikon D3x, 200mm Nikkor-Q, at full aperture. If there’s a better balanced MF lens on the big Nikon’s body I do not know of it. An absolute delight to use. Are there sharper lenses? Doubtless, but what does that matter when this one so speaks to me, delivering a perfect color palette?
