Leighton and Phillippe - thank you.

Samy - thanks for looking. And I like the comp with the GW Heron

Georg - thanks for the comments

Chin - you have a great eye

Georg - the harvest festival images are excellent (is "Freistuhle" "unreserved"? Do they still fill churches in Germany?)

Rafael - that Pampas Grass is outlawed here now as an invasive species even though it's very impressive.

Leighton - the railway shot is excellent - the wavy lines make the shot.

Monty - How do they say "Oshkosh" after a few beers? The lederhosen are quite cool too. Great commentary.

I've been taken to task by my friend in the Netherlands for not listing that country when I posted my appreciation for the variety of photos being posted from around the world. Mea culpa! I tip my hat to Rinie, Chris and Paul who all post wonderful images from a small country that without dykes would be under water....

The Netherlands.

Lovely shots with your new 135 f/2 Rolf! Love the delicious bokeh.

It appears a few folks have been inspired by Don since both Chuong and Chin posted delightful black and white shots in confined spaces with the subject walking away. I enjoy them both very much.

Georg, love the photos in the church... the simple elegance of the bouquets at the end of the pews. Yes, it is good to acknowledge with thanksgiving the abundance that sustains us. Fast lenses certainly must be included in that abundance...

Very well done. And the shot through the underground roadway is mesmerizing, as so many have already observed. You have a great eye.

Jose with a reversing ring works magic. So many ways to use these lenses creatively. Hats off to Nikon for creating such an abundance of tools for going both long and short. Amazing!

Another outstanding set of street photographs Dylan. You definitely have a talent for that kind of work

Yes, Leighton, I'll take your camera when you're ready to sell it...

Turn around is fair play... though by the time you are ready to sell, there may well be another FX camera released and I'll skip the D600 as you skipped the D700. Just when I was ready to sell mine you bought your D600!!! Just kidding...

Phillippe - nice work again. I'm amazed that the old 203 still runs (at least I assume it does!)

Thanks all for your friendly comments.

I owned such a lens 2 years ago but it had some trouble with the blades and I returned it to the seller. Since that time I'm looking for a one in good condition and a reasonable price.

I'm really very happy that I found one last week. I like this focal lens and it could be that 2/135mm will be my favorite Nikon lens.

Here another one out of this series.

Seriously, if anyone wants a D7000 in excellent condition PM me. I haven't posted it yet, but when I do I'll be asking $800.00 with a battery grip and all that came with it originally. BTW, it has 9200 clicks on it.

Thanks for the nice comments about the train track shot.

Philippe - I know where I'd spend a great deal of time if I had this "tree fort".

Peter - Another nice one, in fact, I like it better than the other one.

Rolf - Very nicely exposed. Every time I see images with this lens, I start lusting for one. What a sickness!

Like this one a great deal Peter. I was just talking with Rinie who has a D200 she intends to sell. I noted that both you and Ed have been posting some great work with this camera. This is black and white colors from the D200 are exquisite. I know it had a different sensor than later models. The Canon 1D had a similar CCD sensor design and was certainly one of my favorite cameras. I'm really enjoying your work.

I just spoke with Rinie who reported having won an E-Bay auction this morning for an 85 f/1.4 AI-s that appears to be in excellent condition. With the 85 f/1.8 H AI'd I bought for her and the 85 f/1.8 H-C she has been negotiating for at Delfthaven, she suddenly has an embarrassing riches of lenses at that focal length. Of course, she was discussing the HC before she learned she'd won the auction, so hopefully that deal will go away. It seems the 85 f/1.4 AI-s is the lens du jour...

Monty... Matt and now Rinie. It is a great lens so I'll look forward to more fine shots.

The set you posted with your friends Matt is outstanding. Love the conversions you did. And Monty really has the lens singing on his D600. Love them all Monty!

There is a celebration of the US Navy in San Francisco for Fleet Weekend, with jets soaring overhead. I visited Fort Baker at the southern tip of Main County expecting a crowd and certainly found one. I'll post a few photos later, but I'm about to head to the trail for a hike. I will make this down payment, shot wide open with the 300 f/4.5 AI-s ED-IF of a boy, his father and a Canon shooter... I made certain the Canon gear was blurred...
