For colour film (I think Fuji 200), what development kit did you use. Desmolicious wrote:

Ken, hope things have come back to normal your way. Canada had 500 deaths and that little town which went to 121 degrees just went up in flames a couple days ago. Things are changing climate wise, and not sure humanity is ready for it.

Most of my raspberries went to waste this year. Too dangerously hot to be outside and pick them — 116 degrees on Monday, the hottest ever recorded here. There were 45 heat related deaths in Portland this past weekend.
Serge the Nikon adapter is a bit bulky indeed. I am going to try out a couple of 3rd party ones to see if I come across any functional one that is narrower.
I was conversing with George on the Zfc. I have considered it, but not so sure about adapting F-mount lenses and adding bulk. Another thing I am stuck on is the in-camera stabilization. The Z6 has me spoiled rotten; other than the 1000mm reflex lens all other older F-mounts really benefit from that stabilization.

Hi, everyone:
The Zfc is an awesome looking camera that looks very well executed. I will have to stop by B&H when available and play with it. Great job by Nikon and hope is a huge seller for them. Not crazy about using adapters for F mount lenses but been using them for may moons on X-E1 and have become accustomed to them.
Thanks, George. Silver Efex Pro s a great piece of software that sure comes in handy at times. Have not used the new version and have not seen any mention that it is a must do upgrade.
Excellent B&W photographs the last couple of pages.
- Wimbledon pictures continue to amaze, Colin. You and the Z seem a great combination. I also liked the look of the spectators in IR.
- Great save on the little birds, Leighton.
- Samy, I like the pictures taken with the Leica. A great photo book could be made from your film pictures.
- Beautiful lotus picture, Pongh. I like it a lot.
Thinking of Andy. We haven't seen/heard from him in a while. He was travelling and sharing great images.
We have an overcast day today. I have been wanting to shoot this rose ever since it started blooming but it's not in a great spot. When the sun is shining, there's just too much light, shadows and a bad background. Winning today. No shadows and the light is just right. I did need to get in close and open up the 55mm f/2.8 Ai-s.
Loving all the photos that all of you share. I been using the 55mm f3.5 micro for what is was intended. I never get the results Scott does using it as a normal lens, but as a macro it really is excellent.
Solanum Dulcamara Has been growing in my yard for years. I pull it down out of the cedars, and it
magically reappears every year. It has a whole list of alias - aka Bittersweet, Blue Blindweed, Blue Nightshade, Climbing Nightshade, Deadly Nightshade, Devil's Apple, European Bittersweet, Felonwort, Poisonous Nightshade, Scarlet Berry, Soda Apple, Violet Bloom, and Woody Nightshade. Apparently it is very poisonous to humans.
This Clematis variety kas lost it's petal markings, and is now a very pale violet.
Echinacea Blossoms - fresh one visited by a beetle, and a fading one.

I have the 2.8 version as you know, so I wonder what the true difference is between them. The only thing I struggle with mine is camera shake, but I'm about to remedy that.

There are more differences than I suspected. Here is a screen grab of the differences between the 55mm f3.5 ai and 55mm f2.8 ais.
