There are 56 panels decorating the majority of the marble cathedral's floor carved over a period of six centuries. I would have loved to have seen the good stuff beneath the protective coverings.
Hi Serge, looking at your pictures I understand that several coverings have been removed (permanently). Is it correct? Thanx.

These two photos I really like, the bird of paradise has only a few sharp spots that validate the entire translucent shape. The immediate OOF is very natural and smooth.
Mmmm, I miss the bird of paradise in our garden. I must mount a campaign to bring it back. It is an indigenous plant but for some strange reason, it vanished from the garden. Must enquire. Looks like we no longer have the second one either .

Hi, Riccardo:
You are correct. The large mural at the foot of the altar plus the etchings along the left and right aisles are visible. The artworks of the center aisle were all covered during our visit.
Bulbous Buttercups in a field. Native to Europe and considered an introduced weed here in the eastern US. I still think they add beauty to a walking path.
I believe it’s Ai-S but I’m usually lazy and just write AIS. Unintentionally keeping the flower theme going.
First one: Series E 50mm(Ai-S) with the 4T, X-T1 with the Lens Turbo 2. Lots of extra glass, still looks good to me. Or maybe I just like honeysuckle.
Second one: Different light, Z6II, Series E (Ai-S) 100mm with the 4T again. Playing with Nikon processing to mimic Fuji’s Classic Chrome which just works with classic lenses. Though I did push the texture and contrast on both.

But back to Nikon on "other"
Mucho bokeh using the 85mm f/1.4 Ai-S

Thanks for bringing out the other. Lovely image, haven't seen your 85/1.4 ais for awhile.
And yes, I have become lazy and I'm writing Ai-S... ais now.

More beautiful flowers to fill the page. Can't believe you guys have honeysuckle out already. Love how it smells.
Thanks. The 85/1.4 has been a shelf queen and was actually on the "sell" shelf along with the 105/1.8 and 135/2 because I really didn't use them with the time I had the Z6. Missed the aperture coupling and didn't really like the shooting experience. Glad I am a procrastinator.
Will have to try the 105 and 135 next.

I never used the 85/1.4 much when I had one. Don't really know why though. I guess I liked the 105mm better.
