Reagan, thank you for the memories. It is said one is never really gone until the last person ever says their name for the last time, so I guess Ray is still with us in spirit for some time to come!

You get those magenta outlines in the foreground and green outlines in the background in harshly lit areas. But for the extra £2850 I'd need to fund a Plena (to overcome the problem) I think I can live with it. All part of the learning curve.

In this one you can see the magenta/green transition on the pavement occurs right under the couple's feet but less so on their outlines - so that shows I managed to get the

Most interesting. It doesn't offend me at all. I'm much more likely to be offended by build, feel, ergonomics than by output. I discovered while cropping a little bit of driveway ot the bottom of one of the pictures I posted on Sunday that my favourite lens has corners that look like they've had a generous application of Vaseline, at F8! Still such a sweet lens to use.

I did correct some of it in LR and pasted a second verison into the original posting for comparison.
The original does look poor compared to the modified version.

Hi dear Nikon Glass users, it's a long time since my last visit here, happy to see you are still very active.

I'm going on exploring the M42 lens world, but some time I still use my Manual Focus Nikon Glass.

28mm f/2.8 AIS (first picture) and 55mm f/3.5 K at Venice Biennale Architettura 2023, nice and light combo.

Hope I remember how to load pictures; Full Res version to see how good old Nikon lenses are.

Hi Roberto, it's nice to see you back here. I'm glad you're still using your MFNG, and even gladder that you have dropped by to post your results.

Here are some close-ups from the Big Qualicum River trail on October 3, and taken with my trusty D800E, the 105 f/2.8 micro Ai-s, and the TC-16A.

Thank you GroWeb.

About using MFNG in autofocus mode in some way, I suppose that use them with an AF adapter with ML is allowed too.

I have recently purchased the last version of Techart PRO adapter for my Sony, it really works; there is the Nikon Z mount too.

Hallo Leighton, nice to find you OK and very active.

It's an architectural installation at the "Venice Biennale Architettura 2023" (there is also the "Venice Biennale Arte", they do one year the Architectural exhibition and the year after the Art one, in the same very nice and big location; quite important and international because a lot of countries are represented with an artist installation).

Over the years the Architectural exhibition, the one I'm interested more, has turned into a form of art; less real 3D scale model and more videos, conceptual work and so on. The one of the picture is one of the closest to a traditional architectural installation, image the other ones.
So I still go to the Architectural one and usually skip the ART one.

Lately I'm enjoying some photographic exhibition in Venice: two pictures (25-50mm f/4 AIS) from the one of Sabine Weiss that maybe you have heard of.

The second image is a sequence of pictures of an old lady that is going to bury her dog; one of my most liked.

Thanks for the explanation, I have never seen anything like that.

The photos of the old lady burying her dog are very touching. The link to the full res version helped a lot.
