I have tried so many camera bags over the years and found that to carry all of the lenses that I wanted it was always so big and wide that I hated lugging it around. I think that I have finally found one to meet my needs in this Nikon promo bag that were given away with D800's. It is narrow, only 5 inches. Deep enough for my 300mm 4.5 and wide enough to carry with a little planning, 5 lenses plus one on the camera.
Left to right - 300mm 4.5, 24mm2.8, 16mm 3.5 and 50mm 1.4 under my 85mm 1.4 PLUS my 35mm 1.4 on my camera. It has a pouch on the back for a tablet or small notebook and a pouch on the front for lens hoods, filters, and a teleconverter - WOW. The kicker is that I got it for $30 shipped!

No Reagan, they're not HDR (lol - like Peter said - I thought you'd be more interested in the Town Hall steps).

Yes, Leighton - I did a bit a bit of mucking around in post. It doesn't look it - but it was mostly overcast yesterday - and I wanted to bring the light up. They are sharp aren't they - that's not me - that"s that lens. Phillippe once said it renders like a zeiss - and he's right. It is amazingly sharp and it resolves all the details for a camera like the D800E. Also has great colour.

Yes, Peter, the top of Customs House is bigger than the bottom - my fault. I was squatting on the ground and I shifted the lens up full to get the top of people's heads - but it meant that it was too much for the buildings (btw well spotted).

Couple of shots from last week. The flower has nothing done other than a hybrid high-pass filter on the main flower. The rest is out of the camera. The second of the car, I played with a little bit as far as color goes, but it is also out of the camera. As always, C&C please. Trying SO hard to get it right in camera.

Series E 50mm (flower) and Series E 28mm (car)

Kevin - I'm a bit embarrassed - it's not that big a deal - I just cheated. I added a lot of clarity (I'm in Lightroom - so I guess that's micro contrast). The 3D effect is mostly luck and cheating. The luck is that she's in the shade and the background's in the light. The cheating is that I bought up her face. In the original that's just black, a silhouette. But by bringing the light up on the face it draws the eye - and makes the figure pop out of the shadow - creating a 3D effect

I liked the original too - the silhouette on her face was evocative and more natural.

The ai and ais were about $300 max about 3 years ago on various sights... upwards in 6-700 now, might as well buy some zeiss ze or zf glass for that price.

Nice Stuff DD.

I have been busy, my friends are taking advantage of me and having their pictures taken, it is kind of fun but I do not like responsibily in photography, only fun. I am not new to manual focus lenses, I just never went autofocus, don't like the lens/camera choosing where to focus on maybe 'cause I started early and the F4 focused acurately but not conveniently and no better than my eyes for most stuff.

D3 nikkor 35-200mm, noone uses it as half of them are so bad, but the other half are so good, and cheap.

nikon nikkor 35-200mm 3.5 D3 Wedding Bride by Rafael CA, on Flickr

Much rather be using the 400mm 3.5, here with the TC16a, and be photographing nature. (Are humans nature?) The TC16a because I can focus a 200mm on a bride, but not on a 640mm on a bird.

AH!, don't forget the crop so that we know what this photo really is.
