I believe mine is also a 105/5.6, but I have it listed as a 100/5.6. I also found it to be not as good at distance, but up close it was very nice. Very flat plane of view, no discernible distortion.

Having some technical difficulties, not sure if the image will post.

Beautiful image Kevin!

Beautiful series Chris, very natural colors and excellent composition with the 50-135mm. I tend to punchier contrast and color without saturating the channels, but there is a feeling of being in the real place with your rendition.

Looking for focusing aids for the Nikon FM bodies I came across the first versions of the DG & DR eyepieces. Both are all metal, have very smooth diopter adjustments. and screw right into the existing brass eyepiece.
Neither have any model markings like DG-2 or DR-3 - just "Nikon Japan". Found them for almost nothing, but they have the beautiful Nikon sheen, and work and look beautiful. Shot with the D800 & Nikkor 55mm f3.5 ai

The Nikon DR 2X magnification, -4 to +2 diopter

I love that crinkle-finish that early Nikon accessories used, seen nicely on the prism housing of the DR eyepiece. My PB-4 bellows and PN-11 extension ring both have crinkle-finish, but the really old items have a much thicker and almost shiny crinkle.

I've been going down the Macro rabbit-hole, using my K-ring set and various other accessories to experiment with lens-stacking, and although I always treated the K-rings as kind of irrelevant (compared to the more "modern" AI-capable extension rings), the K2 & K3 rings are really very interesting if you want to play, and are super well built. I'm trying my Micro Nikkor 105/2.8 as the main lens, and stacking (non-reversed) a Companon-S 135/5.6 enlarging lens on the front, and it is amazing how bright and well-corrected the results are! I will try to put up some images of that here.

Blair,
Just followed the link in your metadata to the "Space" portfolio, and video. Bravo! Great light, composition - I love the backlit pilots in the hanger! Smashed it. You need to borrow your dad's MF Nikkor lenses more often, or get some for yourself.
Jim

My uncle flew in one of those during the Vietnam war. He was listening to Chinese and Viet Cong radio messages to translate. Occasionally would run the cameras on board.

Thank you Blair for paying us a visit and sharing that Nikkor 50mm 1.4 awesome photo. You humble us pedestrian photographers but in a good way, your images are astounding!

I've seen this work elsewhere, great to see one with our well loved NMFG. Thanks for sharing it here.

Love it, thanks Chris. Usually see these with tulips, but I love the more complicated shapes that these present, and the OOF areas with the Hyacinth.



Spring is getting here, though there's snow in next week's forecast. 105 f2.8 AIS Micro.

What is the post limit again? I don't remember anymore.

Today was "Nippi's" day! Went to the San Diego Safari Park and spent the day. Spent the whole day there...my body was dead by the end. I didn't need a cart though, so that is definitely saying something.

Nippi is quite a capable lens! I freaking love using it! Sharpest seems to be about f/4-f/8. She also seems to like distances from about 10 feet to about 70 feet. Before/After that, she starts to get a little soft. Still very usable and only pixel peepers will really take note. These photos have been run through Lightroom, but to be honest, I didn't have to do a lot. Only a few shots have been cropped. One has been converted to monochrome (even though with the light when I took the shot, the color was completely washed out by the fog and clouds).

These birds were obnoxious! I loved them completely!

_DSC0235 by Kevin Woodard, on Flickr

These types of shots seem to be the best with Nippi. I am floored at the amount of detail this ole bird can resolve. The Nikon Z5 is no slouch either. I know its older tech at this point, but it is light years ahead of my D700 and if I am honest, I prefer the output over the Fuji's I have been using.

I felt a square crop worked for this one. What do you all think?

Excellent work taking Nippi off to a safari park Kevin! The 135mm length is probably perfect for that location.

I will have to think about where all to take it around when it shows up in the Baltimore area.
