Here's one from our walk yesterday. Shot in the pine trees with the 105 on.

j/k Leighton, that was the welcome back

Cool pine tree abstract, not sure if the green is from the needles or from ca, but it works well.

Thanks Samy. I was wondering if anyone would notice that. Actually it's the green of the needles. However, it was LOADED with CA when I took it into LR (both green and red), but with the new CA slider in version 4.2 or 3, it was very easy to eliminate.

Thanks Philippe.

Here's one from this morning. Jed on the job in the barn. Taken with the 50mm f1.2 AI-s.

Leighton, very nice abstract of the pine-needles! I like the green CA's in this case.
Speaking of CA's - I've tried some shots with the 300/4.5 IF-ED on the tiny Nikon V1 and this combo is really a CA-monster ;-)

Like the blackbird Georg, in French we'd say "il est gonflé ce piaf..."

Here are pics with 85 HC.
# 1 is from Paris
#2 is from...Paris too!

Americo, I'm really glad to see your daughter in good mood again!

Samy, I like your framing and choice of DoF on the sign! I'm not sure if I take the 28PC out for some shots - it's still snowing here.

Al, that's a beautiful landscape very nicely taken! The legendary 105/2.5 rocks!

Rafael, beautiful examples of the 28/2's characteristics! Is yours the Ai or the modern Ais-variant?

Monty, fisheyes are pure fun, thanks for sharing!

Nice bird Georg, watch out Jose!

Did you take the CA out in LR?

Philippe, thanks, but all I understand is "piaf" ;-)
Your work is marvellous as always - the second picture is really a hard one, but excellent as it is.
I'm wondering about the tags on the lantern on shot #1 - my whole hometown is plastered with more or less artistic (in most cases less artistic) graffiti. Love your play with symmetry/asymmetry.

I suspect he is homeless or passed out. Either way it is a disturbing photograph.
As usual, both pictures are very good!

He was just "dead drunk". What can we do about it?

Thanks for kind comment, Georg!

Leighton, thanks! I took the CA's (longitudinal in this case) out in Adobe Camera Raw. This works really well in most cases. The high pixel-density of the V1 shows no mercy with lenses who are prone to longitudinal CA's.
Btw, I'm too lazy to try serious birding. I have the highest respect for nature-photographers who are spending countless hours in blinds, crawling through prickly bushes or wading through chest-deep mudholes.

Ah yes...I think ACR is the same as LR with all the same sliders and algorithms.

I know what you mean about the birders, not to mention the glass required!

Sorry to interrupt you guys, but it seems best place to ask.

How good is Nikkor 28mm f2 Ai on APS-C digital?

Not much high-res digital (something like 10-12 mpix). If anyone has some nice sample, would love to see it.

Thank you very much for answers.

It is excellent, these photos are not from a DX camera but from the D800, the crop will be a good indicator of what the lens will do for you on APS. Check the flickr shots at 100%. It is still quite sharp at f/2.

Nikkor 28mm f/2 ais at f/5.6 D800m late afternoon artist:

Thank you very very much. Seems I will soon join this MF Nikkor Glass club.

I hope.. Btw. how does it look wide-open?

Your wish is my command! believe it or not I was testing a sample of the 28mm f/2.0 this afternoon, stopped for a Burrito on the way home, so here is Chito's Tacos at 2.0 on the D800, below is a photo at f/4.0 and a crop of the f/2.0 one, mosey onto flickr for more detail. Don't leave old photo links in replies.

Sorry about that links. Sometimes FM simply disables them.. And thank you a LOT for samples. Seems as very nice lens, should be perfect on APS-C.

Can't wait Tony! Embarrassingly I scrawled 'Have fun with her guys' on that paper that goes in the box with Nikki... ooooh

>>

Here's one from the weekend. Found out to my detriment that the smaller sizes of Singaporean homes make shooting interiors with the 45mm PCE almost impossible. Out went my ideas of stitching and such. Went about my business with the 14-24mm instead.
I did manage to squeeze in some shots at the end.

I used my 28-50mm F3.5 AI-s on my D7000 and loved it!
