No really I did see this!

I do indeed and this was exactly what I saw on Sunday morning, so lucky! Not sure if I should brighten it up a bit but then it was taken early in the morning so figure it should look like what I saw.

The AF-S lens has a "silent wave" motor in the actual lens and this allows it to focus smoothly and silently but the AF-P lens has a newer focussing motor which is a "pulse" motor and are apparently even quieter than the AF-S so are even better if you are likely to shoot videos. Some people...

Yes to be honest I don't like the overly green of the algae
