Thanks Leighton. Hope your achilles is getting better.

Peter, very nice candids of the boys.

Bob, great flowers.

Jim, delicious looking lunch!

Rafael, beautiful bird shots.

Ben, love the look of your 24mm PCE shots. Customs House is a real special photo.

Here's one from today with the plain old 28mm 2.8 which is just fine. I don't need a 24mm PCE, I don't want a 24mm PCE ...

WOW, that looks like a neat bag. I've got lots of big and bulkies. Now to hunt one down, if they aren't selling these in the Nikon store....

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!

Peter, love the shots from your trip, but yeah, you could shoot a few more too

The local fishermen are a hardy lot and go to sea from a very sheltered bay into the unpredicatble Atlantic in search of Rock Lobsters and other fish as and when they are able to get a quota. The results have to be sold to local fish factories. They go to sea in small boats powered by low HP outboards and have no navigational aids - in foggy weather they stay ashore as quite a number are lost at sea each year.

Some pics..(just after daybreak with the 300 + TC14b on a tripod (Yeah I know I coudl have upped the ISO but I AM getting old..)

Ronny, a 16 f/3.5 ais, 50 f/1.2 ais, 85 f/1.4 ais, 105 f/2.5, 135 f/2 ais, 180 f/2.8 ais, 200 f/4 ais, 300 f/4.5 ais would be a good start

Not much time to stop by lately, but here is a snap fresh out of the camera from about an hour ago. The good news is that our little Eli got a much needed haircut; the better news is that he has lots of practice playing with girls thanks to his aunts, which will come in handy once his new sister arrives.

Great raptor shots Rafael!

Do you find that the 400/3.5 does better up close than at distance?

Here's an idea for all of you with 300mm f4.5 ED-IF lenses missing their tripod collars:

Since you can't find those original collars anywhere, some DIY was in order this weekend. Here are the ingredients:

This image is copyrighted by the owner

a $9.95 ebay tripod collar made for the Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L , which is a little too wide for the Nikkor, but a strap of leather and some epoxy can easily make that inside diameter of the collar fit. When I first put it togehter, the leather was just a little too thick. Some sharp knife slicing later, I had it reduced to a size that would hold the lens tight without too much pressure

This image is copyrighted by the owner

Once the size was right, some epoxy went on the shims and it was time to assemble

This image is copyrighted by the owner

That Really Right Stuff adapter plate costs more than what I paid for the lens... all above images with the 20mm f3.5

First shots from the tripod this afternoon, f4.5 1/200s iso100, Marumi CPL on D600 @ 16 degrees Fahrenheit
