These cars are like rafael-condition MF Nikkors. Time and design languages have moved on but these are so pretty and now so unique among modern cars that seem like they were designed with the same CAD software. Fantastic stuff rafael. It's been a long time. Magic seems not lost.
This one's for leighton. I got the Z5 and am quite chuffed I did. It is a nice nice nice camera. Where's Reagan and his? Short feedback is it's a more chunky version of the Z50 with IBIS and a 1/8000 (vs 1/4000) SS range, a proper AF-ON, 2 card slots and many AF things I don't currently care about. So far, I love it.

Congratulations on the Z5! It is, indeed, a wonderful and very capable camera. It baffles me that so many refer to it as an entry level full-frame. It may not have the super fast frame rate, focusing speed, or resolution as higher priced cameras, but it certainly isn't entry level. Since I very seldom shoot action and don't need the high resolution of a Z7, it fits me perfectly. By the way, the auto-focus is very capable of keeping up with my grandchildren and their sports activities. I absolutely love mine.

Nice set from pancake lens. 5018ais is much better than 4528 one.
Thank you, Phong. This lens is very different at f/1.8. It seems a perfect fit for the Z5, although for once I think the FT-Z makes it bulky. I may just learn to shoot 50mm more.

Sounds like we have the same needs, Scott, except for the grandchildren part, . Just children, here. I have pointed it at them playing and it seemed okay. I am glad that it is not a FX Z50 otherwise I would have a difficult time having both. I can't wait to get out more.

This lens had to stay in the "family"
First picture below at its new home. (shot with the GFX50s and Bronica Nikkor 75mm)
Second shot - was literally the second shot I made with the 50mm on the Df this morning. Was filling the hummingbird feeders and they were getting impatient with me.

George,
So happy to see my old glass on a body it deserves and know it will be well taken care of!
Went to one of those converted factory "antique stories" to look around yesterday. Though the color images look fine; I processed these to fit the era. All shot with the 35mm f1.4 ais on the 5DSR
