Raphael, I’ll take all three. The truth is I have a 2023 Z51 convertible on order and it should get here in October/November and can’t wait. It’ll be A Red Mist with a. Kalahari tan interior. Sort of like DDG1000 but 50 years younger.
In the 1940s a couple bought a 40 acre plot with a Rach house in Encinitas, she was an avid gardener and transformed most of the land into a beautiful garden with many succulents; they left the property to San Diego county as a Garden in perpetuity for the local quail to live in: "Quail Gardens". It is now San Diego Botanic Garden.
These are a view towards the ranch house. Smaller, but if you are interested on the plants or the 18mm 3.5, I always post full size on Flickr - my way of sharing the lens experience. Vignetting added as I feel it adds depth and central emphasis..
For the first time in six months, I picked up one of my cameras and went out for a shoot. Brought the D810 and a bag full of lenses with me, both MF and AF. Didn't use the AF lenses at all. Used my tripod.

These with the mico-Nikkor 200mm f/4
First step to get rid of the photography funk. Nice.
Rafael, I can hear those first four notes of the Magnum theme song in my head, thanks a lot!
Good to you shooting again Laura. You always do such good work at the NMUSAF. I am not recalling seeing that wood structure aircraft at the museum last year.
Love that framing on the bridge Scott!
Leighton, I always like how the eastern mountains produce good light with atmospherics to make up for the lack of high mountain drama of the western half of the country. Please continue the shots and posts, I really enjoy your take on it. And when you get bored with landscapes just take out that f1.2 and keep shooting and posting.

Serge The edges of the frame seem quite blury in your library shot, are you shooting wide open and the adapter is not working well?
D810 24mm PC-E
Jay, the size of the room is on the small side with the corner walls having quite a bit of curvature. I did take these @ f/3.5. In hindsight, the greater DOF @ f/5.6 with have been preferable but with a noise penalty.
Great photos of the starry skies!
This one was taken two days later @ f/5.6 and the lens/adapter seem to be okay.
A memorable cob of bread, and butternut squash soup on a cold November 2018 day re-imaged. D800 with the 85mm f1.4 ais all at f1.4 except the first is at f2.0
Rafael - good example of the 18/3.5. Centers look good. Not sure what fstop
Laura - always like your museum shots. It would definitely be on the list of stops if I every make a trip that way. And being able to use a tripod is a bonus for sure!
Ray - looks like the wind settled down enough to get out? Really like the 105 micro shots and like the last one in black and white the best.
Serge - that one adapted looks good
Geoff - creamy goodness is good description of that combo. Really nice!
Jim - November or May, that bread and soup combo looks good any time of year. I popped in the forum during my lunch break and this is a lot better than a tuna sandwich
Jay - the shadows and roots in A Walk in the Woods is giving me double vision
Leighton - great Fuji colors and like your framing of that shot at the nursery.

The thing about the Nikon super wides is that careful corner focusing will help the curvature of field match the scene, extending sharpness to the near or far corners, (but not to all 4, unless it is in a room), the ones you choose to focus on. If this statement makes sense, the central area has a lot more depth of field than the corners, and is more forgiving of small focus adjustments than the corners.
So a single photo can have great corners, or not, depending on how it was focused.
