Thanks Peter. This reminds me so much of the Solarization darkroom technique or the Sabattier effect that I learned about in Time Life's photography series back in the 1970's. It was so simply to do. You exposed the print with the enlarger, then flipped the room lights on and off again as fast as you could. As it developed in the tray you watched til it reached the look you wanted - then quickly put in the stop bath.

Thank you very much, Andy. Time has this ability of numbing the pain but forgettable, it isn't. Yeah, a little resistance is part of the shooting experience that makes MF such fun. Thanks for the tape idea.
Siphiwe, my condolences for the loss of your brother. mine was taken by COVID a year and a half ago, it is a loss for the rest of your life.
I dropped my truck off for service work this morning and they actually had a new Bronco on the lot. Went over to look and they had a $15,000 "market adjustment" on the sticker. Now they are smoking the good stuff at that place

OK, so it was Bronco Day at Cruising grand, sorry for the long post but want to share these beautiful cars with the 105mm 2.5 Gauss non ai.
Recently got the gfx, just been waiting on the adapters. I guess the 180 to be about a 150?
These are literally my 1st shots with it.
Fortunately, Pixie has 2 modes, zoomies or staying still! Focus peaking and the magnified extra view in the VF helps.
Thanks go to George for lens advice, I have the Pentax-A 35/3.5 and 45/2.8 and the Fuji GF50/3.5 as well as all my nikkors to try.
Still have my Z6II mainly for doing Astro with the 20/1.8S but yeah, medium format ain't cheap, even the adapters are more expensive!

You nailed focus on the eyes. When did you get the Fuji 50x and what is the FL of the 180 on it?
Andy,
I love the OOF areas, and sharp eyes you got with the 180mm on your new gfx. btw, you may want to update the camera metadata as your IPTC points to a previous owner. Congrats on the camera though - Image quality looks great!

1st post with new camera, with the 180ED on metabones adapter.
This is my daughter's dog, a long haired Dachshund called Pixie who I am dog sitting for the 10 weeks they are away travelling around Europe.
Thanks Jim, will get that changed over. Most impressively the oof background areas in the 2nd pic are ferns so lots of leaves.

Cheers George and thanks for all the advice via PM.
The native 50/3.5 arrives today so then I'm all set.
Might actually inspire me to get out and take some pics!

Kenneth, my hat off to you, this is a perfectly beautiful composition and the processing is just incredible, the elements are so well placed it really comes across as a painting, where the artist had full placement control.
However, for this thread the lens needs to be a manual focus Nikon lens, not an AF manually focused.
We have accepted manual focus lenses on the AF TC 16a, and also will likely accept a manual focus lens on a focusing mirrorless adapter - but not AF lenses.
I don't own the thread, other opinions are welcome.
