Nugget Point Lighthouse with NKJ 28/2 (which you can see by the coma is not really suited to astro, I was also shooting the Viltrox 16/1.8 - https://flic.kr/p/2sg6UYh )
Just before dinner I noticed Tulip petals raining out of my tree. Seems a bit early. 200mm f4 ais micro focus racked through CH drive mode bursts on the D850

Thanks. 1001 Nights has no entry for a 28mm f2 or 2.8cm f2. But I did find a Ken Rockwell review. (I never know how much to believe in Mr. Rockwell's reviews. )
My friend Jim R gave me a 2.8cm f/3.5 s/n333xxx which I haven't used much. It's probably not related.
There are more islands behind the lighthouse promontory too which you can view from the observation platform on the other side, the end of it is visible in this shot on the right
I have this one, technically a 2.8cm, 1001 Nights entry #12. https://www.destoutz.ch/lens_2.8cm_f3.5_302162.html
Very different elements and iris, so not related.
I've done very little with it so far. Seeing other pics taken with a 28mm is instructive! It's heavier than my 35mm so given the choice I usually leave it at home.

One of the Flycatchers, probably Eastern Phoebe. Not the best picture but it flew off before I could do a proper focus. EasternPhoebeProbably

Something different. When I saw this I thought of serge07's picture of Giambologna's Abduction of a Sabine Woman. Carved by weather and sun from a single block of wood. TreeTrunk

Riccardo, terrific photograph of the Sciliar Massif, great film colors.
Thank you, Serge.
All too often, we forget just how good reversible film was—and still is—with its incredible image quality

Are you in Tuscany? I returned to Rome yesterday from Casentino, where the Arno River has its source.
I have a few hundred photos to sort through, and I hope to share a few of them in the Nikon Z Images Thread.
A mosquito sandwich, though I had no idea there was a mosquito in the picture until I downloaded the image to the computer.

Jim, it would have been Df, but IBIS sealed it. Every time I use it, I find it remarkable how sensitive to light the sensor is compared to D700/D3.The game sure has moved.
Bird photography is a lot like fishing. The object of fishing is not to catch fish. It's to try to catch fish. Bird photography is the same way. Otherwise why would I carry a camera with 197 pounds of glass attached (okay, I exaggerate a little) into the woods? And come away with no bird pics? (My sweetie suggested I take the 300mm x 1.4 combo. It wasn't my idea. Really.) Lots of birdsong. None visible. Nevertheless, we did get a few pics of interest.
