My guitar playing hobby has been taking more of my time than photography, but I have been getting out with my camera a few times over the summer. In early July, for example, I visited the annual truck show near Duncan, BC. I shot the photos below there with my IR-converted Fuji X-T2 and the 24 f/2.8 NC....Show more →
Good to see you again Glen. Wonderful IR images.
BTW, I had forgotten your last name was Rowe. There are a lot of folks around the valley here with the last name of Rowe, also a few restaurants that bare the name.

I agree. I need to place a short tube again on a wide to experiment more. Which reminds me that I've had K tubes in my ebay search list for a long time and have never done anything with it. Hmmm.
Yes, the K1 ring is the thinnest extension Nikon offered (5.8mm) so it works very nicely on wides and super-wides, just moving the close-focus and magnification up, but still allowing you to adjust the focus in a semi-normal manner. It is stated that it is not compatible with AF, but strictly speaking that is not completely true: It will interfere with the contacts on an AF lens, but will mount fine on an AF body, so will work fine with say the MF 35/2 mounted on a Df. I never use any of the other K rings, though the K2 can serve nicely on reverse-mounted lenses as a hood or a way to mount a filter on the reversed side.

Nice action shots Serge. I'm surprised that visitors are allowed cameras in the arena. Seems like they are always banned anymore, with the vague definition of professional cameras (which at some point in time my 1" compacts have been accused of being).
Thanks, Ray.
No problems with cameras thus far. There are many professional photographers with monster lenses all over the Open. I have a toy camera by comparison.
Security is very strict with backpacks and liquids, otherwise reasonable.

Fantastic, Serge. Looking forward to more. X-E1 has lived the life.
About prices for this year being below the pain threshold, if they dropped them, that's a pleasant surprise.
Thank you, Siphiwe.
Ticket prices did not drop, wishful thinking. Last year, scalpers bought a boat load of tickets and sold them through Ticketmaster at hugely inflated prices. This year, I was able to purchase at the regular US Open prices.
Hello gang. I am back with my hat in hand after a long absence. Thanks to Leighton rattling my phone this afternoon. I see I have missed some PM messages and apologize for not responding. I usually get a notification when I get a PM, but have not received any.
I really have no excuses for my absence other than work and an overwhelming need to just step away from the internet noise (not there is any of that here) and away from media in general. I hope that everyone is doing well and I will take time to go back and see what I have been missing. I am traveling this weekend for Labor Day and am embarrassed to say I don’t even have a piece of Nikon gear with me and only my iPad.
I am sure I am in very much photo debt with Siphiwe, so I am grabbing a few images I have on my iPad that I do not think I have shared from June and actually may be the last Nikon lens shots I have taken this year. Just some walk around pics from downtown.

George! Nice of you to grace us with your presense. Your photo arrears are going to take some time to wipe off but this is a great start. Good to see you.

I thought I would do a posting of weird MF nikkors. I use adapters, helicoids, and the K rings to bring these onto focus on the Z cameras.
First the 70mm 1:5 Micro Nikkor, maybe the sharpest lens I own for normal distances.
Re-imaged an IR from a couple years ago. Four horizontal image stitch with the new color IR profile. I'm finding that every image is unique so i have to edit by the numbers then by WYSIWYG. 20mm f2.8 ais
50-135mm.
