NORTH CIRCULAR ROAD - PHIBSBOROUGH AREA
It is a while since I photographed a pub so I decided to check if the Back Page has survived and recovered from lockdown.
A Vietnamese friend, she is/was a huge fan of Christiano Ronaldo, asked my why this pub is named the Back Page. As I knew that it is famous for being sports-centric [especially soccer] and making a guess, I explained that football results were usually to be seen on the back page of evening newspapers. I did tell her that it was a guess but she was happy enough with my answer ... if you know better let me know.
She then asked why do they have a big sign saying that Ronaldo is a fish, she assumed that it was some sort of insult. As I know nothing about sport and had yet to see the sign I had no answer to that question. The sign actually reads "This Fella Ronaldo Is A Cod" ... this is way too complicated for me to explain.

Zeiss Batis 85mm f/1.8 Lens for Sony E Mount, Black
I HAVE THIS AND THE 135mm LENS
VERSATILE FULL-FRAME LENS: The powerful lens for the mirrorless full-frame system of Sony fulfills the highest requirements. Despite its compact design, the image meets the expectations of professional photographers. EXCELLENT RESOLUTION AND HIGH CONTRAST: Richly saturated and vivid colours are a must in the creation of lasting impressions. However, stray light within an optical system leads to a lightening of the image that is particularly noticeable in the shadows. This reduces image contrast, with the result that exposures lack contrast and appear faded. To avoid this, ZEISS combines various specially developed technologies to reduce the undesirable effects of stray light. ROBUST AND WEATHERPROOF METAL CONSTRUCTION: Thanks to features that are designed to keep out dust and spray water, the lens is perfectly suited for critical outdoor conditions. It is also designed for many years of intensive use. SMOOTH AND RELIABLE AUTOFOCUS: The design of the autofocus system requires an extremely accurate shifting of particular lens groups. The focusing system of ZEISS lenses is designed to ensure a robust and smooth-running autofocus mechanism with the best imaging performance.
