I believe mine is also a 105/5.6, but I have it listed as a 100/5.6. I also found it to be not as good at distance, but up close it was very nice. Very flat plane of view, no discernible distortion.

Having some technical difficulties, not sure if the image will post.

Beautiful image Kevin!

At the request of Ray a last series of Hyasints.


Beautiful series Chris, very natural colors and excellent composition with the 50-135mm. I tend to punchier contrast and color without saturating the channels, but there is a feeling of being in the real place with your rendition.

Looking for focusing aids for the Nikon FM bodies I came across the first versions of the DG & DR eyepieces. Both are all metal, have very smooth diopter adjustments. and screw right into the existing brass eyepiece.
Neither have any model markings like DG-2 or DR-3 - just "Nikon Japan". Found them for almost nothing, but they have the beautiful Nikon sheen, and work and look beautiful. Shot with the D800 & Nikkor 55mm f3.5 ai

The Nikon DR 2X magnification, -4 to +2 diopter

I love that crinkle-finish that early Nikon accessories used, seen nicely on the prism housing of the DR eyepiece. My PB-4 bellows and PN-11 extension ring both have crinkle-finish, but the really old items have a much thicker and almost shiny crinkle.

I've been going down the Macro rabbit-hole, using my K-ring set and various other accessories to experiment with lens-stacking, and although I always treated the K-rings as kind of irrelevant (compared to the more "modern" AI-capable extension rings), the K2 & K3 rings are really very interesting if you want to play, and are super well built. I'm trying my Micro Nikkor 105/2.8 as the main lens, and stacking (non-reversed) a Companon-S 135/5.6 enlarging lens on the front, and it is amazing how bright and well-corrected the results are! I will try to put up some images of that here.

Blair,
Just followed the link in your metadata to the "Space" portfolio, and video. Bravo! Great light, composition - I love the backlit pilots in the hanger! Smashed it. You need to borrow your dad's MF Nikkor lenses more often, or get some for yourself.
Jim

ps the music was super
