Thanks Leighton. It's always rewarding when I see something that I think is great raw material and it works out. Another 135Q with a different trip thru Nik Silver EFX.
I never understood (and likely still don't) discussion about 3D pop in lenses. However, the barn looks like it really stands out from its surroundings green, like 3D!

Ken, great bold colors on the future home of the manual focus Nikkor store.
The steam cycles on and off and had to wait a spell to get the full effect and for the coast to clear. The lady stepped in just as I was framing the photo.
Try a piece of electrical tape. Its smooth, rubbery surface can add a bit of drag and help it's feel. Also doesn't hurt if you apply on the bottom of the barrel it's nearly invisible.
Finally getting out some more, been in a rut with shooting.
85mm f/1.4 AIS

Thanks so much.
With age, the push-pull design is prone to sliding. I applied a piece of blue painter's tape to the barrel and mine no longer slides.
It does exhibit some distortion but also has wonderfully neutral blur rendition, particularly at the long end. "Like butta". See Christopher Perez' point light source blur tests here.
(Another lens he tested with a highly neutral blur rendition is the 55mm Micro Nikkor).
I have placed a few E 75-150 sample images here and some 55mm Micro Nikkor images here.
