Let's see: 55 2.5, nice scalloped lens, compensating?, TWO 16mm 3.5, 50 1.4, 55 1.2, 85 1.8, 35 1.4, 20 3.5 UD, 180 2.8. Very good choices. The newer ones I can't recognize, never seen them before.
Pretty good Rafael, the "35/1.4" is actually a 105/2.5 P.C.
One of the 16/3.5 no longer focuses to infinity after I dropped it, hence the purchase of a 2nd one

So, as I play with lenses a Kipon nikon F to Nikon Z Focusing adapter was purchased:
Just amazing. I'm forever surprised how you manage to not have your feet in these pictures. There are normal wide angle lenses where your feet will be in the picture if you focus on something small but these < 10mm fisheyes avoid that. You really are a master of this genre.
It is a bot. People have been using PM's to ask others to use the F*F option of paypal for forever. Fred did that to protect those using B&S
Here's his sticky post over on B&S, original is from 2013, he added in the bot because people were STILL doing F&F, then blaming Fred because they got scammed... or wanting him to help get their money back from crook...
People are still falling for F&F scams just like they fall for PCH ..

Hi Gang- Happy New Year but this message I got from the FM Forum really bothers me. Perhaps it’s my 75 years and a crotchety disposition, but I don’t think so.
Several days ago I sent a PM to Curtis wishing him the seasons greetings and included a recap of the year 2021 which took Robin and I to twenty states. In that message I included the words “ Family and Friends,” a term usually included in Holiday greetings among “Family and Friends.”
Well either the FM BOT needs further programming or if a person perhaps a decent cup of coffee. I do find the FM’s monitoring of private messages in the name of commerce or whatever good deed they think they’re performing is disturbing.

Again Happy New Year to my FM Forum “Family and Friends.”...Show more →
Andy, great collection of lenses! Your variety of scenes including the cricket stadium one have been a delight over the past few weeks.
Jose, sharp portrait of that woodpecker as always. Looks like you were at ground level.
Ani, lovely F to attach the 55 1.2 on. Look forward to seeing images from the Arista roll!
Siphiwe, rainy transition to the new year here too, but hoping for a brighter outlook in 2022! Your spider web was amazing!
Ken, good point by Laura and others. Too many people fall for scams and Mr. Miranda looking for possible scams. Of course he did not count on one of the threads here people consider being among family and friends!
George, only thing is my cameras and lenses are not Rafael-esque quality
Ray cool black and white composition with the tree. I like the sideways falling rain in the image.
Mark, great to see you enjoying the medium format look of Nikkors!
Jay, George and Jim, great outdoor scenes! George, like that "don't look up" perspective
I see Reagan has a camera again and up to his old tricks
Jmonat from Chicago, welcome!
Leighton, I see you are still tracking the muskrat.
Colin, wow, sharp IR image in the kitchen with the D610 and 24 NC.
Geoff from Chatham MA, welcome! I was at the Chatham lighthouse a few months ago on a trip to Cape Cod.
Good to see a visit from Harry (Kingfishphoto). He used to post here more frequently several years ago.
Peter, great result from the 500 reflex on the daisy.
Made it as far back as Scott's toffee triangles. Maybe he will have more treats to share from his new year celebration!
A very happy 2022 and most of all best wishes for good health to the Nikkor family and friends crowd here!!!
Its been about four years since I shot a roll of film so with the F and the F3 and a few rolls in the refrigerator I definitely will get some practice in 2022 God willing. I'm giddy and excited to see the images too, will make sure to share the experience, good, bad or ugly
