Returning to semi normality, the town near is doing cruises again. This one was photographed with radioactive color balance.

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.

Does anyone have a source for the chips to convert MF to be automatically readable by digital Nikons?

Nice set from pancake lens. 5018ais is much better than 4528 one.

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.

Hey Oom! That's great news, if I'm reading the above correctly. Happy days.

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.

Hi Peter,
Long time ago I bought some dandelion chips on ebay after reading this excellent resource:
https://pindelski.org/Photography/2012/03/08/adding-a-cpu-to-mf-nikkor-lenses-part-i/
(at the end of the text in this link you can access the part II).

Since I have not bought these dandelions last years I lost the vendor* at ebay, but this is just an example:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/172452737807?hash=item2826fbf30f:g:iwQAAOSwnHZYWVgK

(I cannot recommend it since I have not bought there).

(*): the seller showed in the Pindelski link (it is from 2012!) is the same I bought the chips, but i don't know if he is still active at ebay.

Hope this can be helpful.
Jose.

Peter,

Like Jose, I have done my own with the dandelion chips. But it has been a number of years.

You may want to reach out to this vendor. It seems they are still around. At least 2021 is on their webpage

Their last blog post had this statement in Dec 2020…

We hope to resume offering CPU and AI services in the future, once we have determined long term demand.

Maybe they can help determine a source for chips?

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!

It is certainly in good company.... :-)

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
