Thanks Leighton, Georg (it was hand held, 3 shots in burst mode), Philippe, Monty and Tony.

This is a tiny flower, just 1cm diameter, taken with the 300mm f/4.5 AI-S EDIF + Canon 500D close up filter.

John, loved your hiking set, mostly the 16/3.5 shots.

Tony, great cat shots;

Chin, liked the side portrait of your dog.

Took the D800 and my 16/3.5, 50/1.8G, and 100/2.8 Series E out hiking in the snow this morning. None of the 50/1.8G images made the cut, but got some good ones from the MF lenses:

Zenfolio seems to clobber the sharpness in slideshow mode.

I got some of my breath on the front of the 16/3.5 and after that it seemed to show more ghosting than usual with the sun in the frame.

Here's some samples -

Sure, I'm struggling with boredom play in my home, and John posts these pictures with artistic skills in a tremendous setting - is there a retract button? Great job, John.

Wow! That is some serious Series E love! That shot is awesome and its the first great shot I have seen with the lens. I have been looking for some good shots with that lens for a while.

Hopefully I've alleviated some of your boredom Ray! Thanks - it was a rare great weather day in the mountains.

A few more images to come.

Yes, it's greatest attribute is weight and size. It can't stand up to 36MP at any aperture and it's got a little glow wide open, but it's just fine at 50% viewing with a bit of sharpening. I totally relied upon my AF confirmation dot so my focusing could be a bit off at infinity. It seemed that my images taken closer up were a bit sharper than those at infinity

I had the same issue at infinity on that lens. I'd rack it out to the max and then dial the focus back just a tiny bit and that seemed to sharpen it up. Maybe the infinity stop is not calibrated right?

Could very well be - I'll have to check it out on a tripod.

Here's a quick panorama with the 100/2.8 series E. This is looking West towards the Olympic Mountains - down there somewhere is Seattle.

Actually, if you blow it up you can just see the tops of the skyscrapers downtown about 30 miles away.

I finally got a chance to go out and shoot a bit with my new 16. I think we are going to get along just fine.

My Series E 50mm is like that too. Infinity is blurry, I have to dial it back a hair. Stellar shot above, envious of the skill and view.

All of you people and your icecicles and snow. It's sometimes hard for me to comprehend such things. I never saw any truly large icecicles until I was 22. The mountain looks very cold Philippe.

Ronny, the 135 is still looking good in your hands.

Jose, a lovely dragonfly.

John, I remember seeing you on top of that mountain before. That looks like a cold climb and Seattle looks pretty nice from there.

Dylan, looks like you'll do well with the 16.

Ray, the 105 renders very nicely! And the toy looks fun.

Reagan, you'd probably look good in a pair of boots like that

Hey all,

My card reader just bit the dust. Anyone like to suggest one for an internal fit?

Thanks Alan!

Leighton, I'm going to presume you need a 3.5" model so here is where I go: Newegg Card Readers. I have one from Nippon Labs that is discontinued that had high ratings when I bought it but I see their newer models haven't fared so well. I'd just pick a high rated model that can handle SD+CF+USB and then you should be covered.

Some really fantastic images during the holiday period - I lurked when I had a chance and am still amazed at the quality of the work produced on this thread.

I'm experimenting with some of my old slides and photographed this Kodachrome taken in Teneriffe in 1972 using my Pentax Spotmatic this morning. A very crude technique - Scotch tape onto a window with a cloudy backdrop, Nikon D200 with MF 105 2.5 and all the extension tubes in my armoury.

The lens is amazing - handheld and a quick PSE6 conversion.
