A few shots from this evening... trying to dial in the D850 + 300 PF, it was front focusing...
I think it's hitting the mark now.
Some shots (heavy crops) of the local residents in the backyard.
Thanks for looking.

Scott,
Beautfiul, and very well seen shot. I love how the tiny little bit of color seeping through an otherwise a monotonous world, giving a little bit of warmth to the shot.

I enjoy location shoots in a restaurant because someone else has sacrificed time and money for the backdrops and props. I also get to savor some hot sake on the house while underway. Will revisit this place shortly for another subject, and can hopefully work the gas fireplace and colorfully-lit Christmas tree into the frame. 
First image hot off the presses:
D4, 70-200/4 @ 70mm, f/6.3, 1/160sec, ISO 100. These settings suppressed ambient so the Profoto AcuteB @ 75J, plus umbrella could take the key role without interference. Fill was SB-5000 on camera. This first frame was a lighting check that came out nicely—I like when that happens!

I'd like to see what Luka could do with the 28E (more options for selective focus). It also has excellent linearity for those NYC architectural elements.

Rico,
Thank you for your comment.
I was torn between three lenses. 28/1.4, 28/1.8, 24/1.8
Charles has been driving me crazy with his beautiful images shot with 28/1.4 , but from cost and weight, I decided to not to go with 28/1.4 this time. I was really looking for a lens that I can take every day to work. Something good but didn't want to worry about gear too much.
28/1.8 was definitely a contender, but I have a Contax 28/2.8 with Leitax conversion. That little lens has so much character, I did not want to confuse myself by adding another 28mm. So, naturally, in the end, I went with 24mm/1.8 I also do have ZF.2 25/2.8 but I still have not quite 'got' that lens. Manual Focusing 25mm turned out to be a bit more challenge than I want to admit, I guess.
I must say I am pretty happy with the 24/1.8 so far, but, I admit 28/1.4 looks so much fun !

I just snapped this image of a hummingbird (Anna's, I believe?) in my backyard. It's been a while since I've used my camera, but thankfully I have some free time now that the holidays are nearly upon us.

Scott,
Love this shot. It gives me strong sense of depth and the color is pretty. Well seen.

Neat to have a large naked eye comet available!
