Nigella - a quick grab shot at lunchtime

Z6II & 180/2.8 ED & PK-13 tube. Probably shot at f/4.
Damn the lack of Exif but I'd give that up over IBIS and focus peaking anyday.

Fantastic, Colin. Your 180mm + PK-13 shots are what got me interested in a PK-13 for myself.

Oh look what you did now! It looks very cool. A "Mf ". It needs a bigger brother. I hope Nikon is listening. I'm envious of what seems like endless and easy access to adapters on your side. The lack of unique benefits of FT-Z for MF lenses has me looking for smaller alternatives as there seems to be nothing to lose/gain, with FT-Z only benefiting AF-S lenses.

This seems a pretty cool camera and with an adapter like that will suit your tiny range finder lenses, George.

Congrats! I knew someone on this thread would get one. We are expecting a full report once you've had time with it.

Plus, the FT-Z is ugly.

Fotasy works well, no need for electronics. My Z6 is proudly hosting a 43-86 AI right now through a Fotasy adapter

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.

Siphiwe, congratulations on the Z5, I suspect it may give your DF some very stiff competition. Nothing quite like a shiny new toy.

Nice photos!

You'd never know this was from a camera that is 15 years old.

Lovely shot Colin - when I read about the quick grab I wasn't sure what to expect

Good thing it's not an FX camera or I would have to "Hide" you George, that would be too much temptation.

This DX camera is a gateway drug to the hopefully eventual FX version.

I have often considered buying a 200/4 micro but this combo does well enough to satisfy my needs.

Wow Colin!
Were these wide open??



One more from the hummer, this time saving some energy: some support to stop the wing beating

Jose,

Wow to you too.
We don't have Hummers in the UK. Lovely birds.

Don't think mine were taken wide open - most likely f/4 to give me a bit of wiggle room on the depth of field.
I should take more notice of my settings but it is hard enough to track these creatures and get close to them.
The minimum focus distance of the 180 and PK13 provides a nice working distance without having to crop the final image too heavily.

Many amazing images on the last few pages.

Just to mention 2 postings: Scotts Cove Reflections are beautiful in a „not screaming” way (pleasey excuse my lacking English again) and James set of antique stories is mighty fine in B&W.

Here's a picture from yesterday:



Augustsonne - Im Walde[/url] by Georg, auf Flickr

The PC-Nikkor 28/3.5 shot at f/11 worked as predicted and delivered the „sunstars” I was looking for.
D750, the horizont is a bit skewed but I did worse in the past ;-)
This piece of woods close to the baltic sea is known as „Gespensterwald” - „spooky forest”.

I turned 70, holding my age well. Methinks.

Only way to celebrate was wine, here are a couple of view from this winery in my neighborhood and of the proper summer cake.

The 45mm GN is better than its reputation.
