I attend a bird of prey workshop today and took the 135/3.5 QC with me.
This one is with the Z8. Something went wrong with the exif. The lens is chipped, but I don't know where the "5mm f/1 lens" comes from. I only used it for this portrait, I forgot to use it more often (too busy).

If there was a 5mm f/1 lens out there I am sure Rafael will find a pristine copy soon

Don't know why I don't use this lens more. D850 with the 135mm f2.0 ai + tc-16a. Managed to stumble through the back yard last night for these. Seems fall has arrived.

Jim, very nice! Reading all the hype about the coming 135 1.8 Plena, I have been thinking I haven't used the 135 f2 AI in a very long while. I used to do some event photography off and on and the 135 was perfect for standoff distance portraits.

Are these the first scenes from Malta on the thread? Just love the street scenes Colin!

Here are some 50/2 images from a week in the sun on the island of Malta.
A strange, but interesting place.
I travelled light and the 50/2 was the only MF lens I took with me.
These street views are from the route my wife and I took whilst traversing Sliema to get to the ferry that takes you across to Valletta (a UNESCO world heritage centre)
Nikon bellows lenses, a 105 F4 and a 135 F4 . The 135 is a lens head from the rangerfinder camera mount. It can be bellows mounted with a 39MM to F adapter or the Nikon BR-1 RF to F bellows adapter. The 105 has the f mount.

At one time I had a 135mm Nikkor, but I sold it to help fund my D70 when they first came out. I haven't had one since. However, I've seen so many wonderful photos posted here lately taken with several different versions of the 135, so I though I'd search one out. Being the cheapskate that I am, I decided to take my time and search for a good deal. I stumbled across a Nikkor-Q.C 135/2.8 for sale and, according to the seller, the only thing wrong with it was that the built-in lens shade was very badly bent. I made them an offer of $14 and they accepted, so I proceeded to work the lens shade back into shape. After a few minutes with a plastic mallet and a PVC pipe, the lens shade is now mostly round. It's not perfect, but it's close and it works just fine.
I took the lens out today to see if I got my money's worth. All in all, I'm very happy with it and it was definitely worth $14.
As an aside, I noticed that the Zfc wrote the lens focal length into the exif. I don't recall it doing that before. Has anyone else seen this with their mirrorless cameras? I'll have to see if the Z5 writes the focal length to exif since the firmware update they released earlier this week.
Walking the fence line. This was taken from a pretty good distance and heavily cropped because, as I'm sure you know, you don't get too close to a Sasquach. 23-MoCo Ride-ZFC_1057-print by Scott Poupard
I haven't finished posting all of my classic car and sand sculpture photos, but I'm going to take a bit of a break from them to avoid being monotonous. Here is a small group of IR images from my recently converted D7200 and the 20 f/2.8 Ai-s at the Forbidden Plateau.

Glen, these are all beautiful photos with great compositions. I'm usually not a fan of lens flare, but I really like it in the last photo. It really adds to the photo.

I like the look of these, especially the first one.
A few 50/2 panos showing the topology of the fortified harbour between Valletta and the Three-Cities.
Best viewed over on Flickr if you want to look in detail.
The area to the right is a busy working port so this is the view as you walk lower towards sea-level and the cruise liner terminal. Lots of traffic on the water.
