24/1.8g D700
So far I am impressed with this lens. It is on the neutral side, which seems to be the trend. I read on DPR a speculation that it was Konica / Minolta design as the patent was filed with both Nikon and Konica/Minolta.

Another one of my passions is recreating musical events in my home through the use of high end audio components. Even though many people may feel that technology has advanced by light years, the most realistic audio reproduction ( to my ears at least ) is accomplished through the use of single ended vacuum tubes that date all the way back to 1931. I use the 845 radio transmitting vacuum tubes in my power amplifier, as well as other triode vacuum tubes in my phono stage, line stage, tuner, etc. Using this "vintage" tubed audio amplication system in conjunction with my turntable playing vinyl records pressed back in the sixties is music to my ears

Don,
Yum! Old tube shot with DF and 50 planar = a very nice warm and silky look. Love the color.

Nineteen shots combined. Shot in portrait mode. The event is an annual Thanksgiving tradition in town here, the recreation of The Band's Last Waltz, done by local musicians and bands. This year was a special event with the Philharmonic Orchestra as backup musicians.

Hi Charles!
So, the speakers are very near and dear to my heart! They are the Dunlavy Audio Labs SCIV Signatures. They are quite large, standing at 72" tall and weighing in at 190 pounds each! Sadly they are no longer in production, but they are still highly sought after by many audiophiles around the world. I had first heard them many years ago down at a high end audio salon in Chicago when they were first introduced. I fell in love with the sound they reproduced! I swear, if you closed your eyes, you felt as if the musicians and singers were standing right before you performing. I had to have them! But they were extremely expensive, so I went about saving my money and with a lot of hard work, in time I was able to go there and purchase them. I love them as much today as I did the very first time I ever heard them. Definitely a case of "No Regrets"
