George, you can save your time. Received the Marumi short metal hood and its a tiny thin contraption that would only offer limited protection against bumps. It is a $3.50 part for $26 so back it goes in a hurry.
The Nikon NC 40.5mm filter fits perfectly and will have to do for a bit.

Yeah, that will work. The adapters are dumb and transmit zero info, there is no limiting factor as unlike the nikon body there is no requirement to move the aperture from wide open to the selected aperture.
Was pruning some apple trees today and found this tiny shriveled up apple in my shirt pocket. I laid it down on my desk next to my phone and an idea hit me. so...
Dean, I'm absolutely loving the images you've been sharing from Hong Kong... what a treat to have you back on the thread sharing photos from that corner of the world. Right now, of course, the news paints a rather dire picture of the place. I don't know whether any of that affects you or your business but that you haven't spoken about it suggests not. Regardless, you have a new hunt to pursue... finding pristine copies of pre-AI Nikon lenses...
I love shooting with them on the Df though I actually began buying converted lenses. I only have three that four that don't have an AI aperture ring added. You should have a blast looking for them in all those shops around Hong Kong offering camera gear. Have fun!

To think that Leighton can post a photo... "Apple on Apple..."
Thanks Laura for correcting me... of course, that was a hornet. I have great respect for them after brushing something off the back of my neck and feeling their fury... nasty little buggers.
So I did take a few flower photos during my last walk, so I guess I should share them with everyone...
And I couldn't resist this shot... the motorcycle has Tibetan prayer flags hanging on the back... the bike is actually painted in colors associated with Tibetan Buddhism, but I expect that is coincidence. I've been spending some time with Tibetan Buddhism this year, so it caught my fancy.
I've noted Reagan's absence and just checked to see when last he posted... June 4. Does anyone have information about what's up with him? Ken, Scott? In these troubling times friends disappearing, even cyber friends, leads to concern. I want us all to be well AND safe.

Just lurking
and I thought I would never say it's too hot to go out
Got blisters on my feet from walking barefoot at the beach on the hot sand
Leighton... I'm having lunch... a purple Cherokee tomato and cucumber from the farmers' market. Talk about ambrosia. Tomorrow Sue and I will be back at the market and I'm excited. I know you understand since you grow much of the food you eat... the produce we get in most supermarkets is FAR removed from the taste and freshness of produce recently harvested. Products are considered ready when they LOOK good regardless of taste AND are shipped early so they won't be bruised along the way. What you and your friends are doing for the people of Staunton is reminding them of what real food tastes like. Thank you for that. I say the same thing to the folks at the farmers' market.

How are you finding the learning experience? I tried to help a friend recently who runs a Windows machine and it was very frustrating trying to figure out even the basics. I imagine there would be some challenges for you as well. I find Mac both easy and reliable to use, but then I've been using Macs for 20 years. If you're willing to share I'd love to hear how it's going.

The new Mac OS is going to be called "Big Sur"
it is going to be very IOS based much like the Ipad and it is really going to be unacceptable to me
I will stop at Mohave intil my Imac dies
