IIRC there is a little slot on the back of the lens that you can turn with a screwdriver. You only need to do this once.
Hm, a screwdriver was never involved.

You can buy a special-purpose tool, but there is no point, as long as you have some mechanical skill. You just have to turn the little slotted circle until the shutter is cocked (when the slot and the red dot line up), about 1 turn or so. I just confirmed on my 80/2.8 CF that if the lens shutter gets triggered, it can be cocked easily with a flat-head screwdriver.
Matynas - So great to see you back. Beautiful shots. Love the BW treatment on these. Shots #1,#2 gives me great sense of space of this tightly woven town.
Jako - The boat shot abstract is very nice.
Rodluvan -I enjoy your color endeavor. Agree with wise guy, that shot is my fav too.
Lately I am busy with learning more about HDR-processing. With the correct software it is not difficult to do, but getting a realistic look is not always that easy. Here some examples with the ZF.2 15/2.8 (unfortunately still on a crop-body , so it actually is a 22.5 mm lens). In near future a D800E is planned.
The first three look great, very natural, with just a touch too much saturation. The last two have a little of that HDR look to them, a certain soft grittiness. I think just allowing the contrast to go a little higher and holding back the saturation a tiny bit would fix all of these, if 100% natural-looking is what you are after, but they already look really nice.

You need to open the leaf shutter.
