She came all the way from Japan in a few days. New or like it anyways, lens is perfect too, not one spec of dust, now I need an Amedeo or Kipon Nikon S adapter and they are not cheap. Getting some B&W films and developer.

My little hillside is close to Elfin forest, love it when the sunset light hits the top of the trees. With the 7.5mm everything looks like twigs, but these are oaks and palms, the local plants.
With the 24MP sensor and focused with a helicoid Z adapter the 7.5mm becomes super sharp, check it out at 100% in Flickr, it does flare and ghost so one must be careful placing the light.
More from Loch Hourn.
This time looking towards the Glenelg peninsula and Beinn Sgritheall overshadowing the small hamlet of Arnisdale.
Different viewpoints as we meandered up the loch. You can use the rectangular white building/grey roof with some open space to its right as a reference point. It is a church with a graveyard.
Thanks for the responses on the deliberately limited DOF technique and shots George, Scott. It's definitely played in my mind a bit since I've read it. One thing I've started trying (though this is much simpler with AF lenses) is to do a full focus stack series of images, but then selectively omit images that have sharp elements at farther distances. Not quite sure if it's worth the effort vs just doing selective DOF with aperture and focus distance selection, but it's another option.
Here's a traditional small aperture hyperfocal shot with the 20mm f3.5AI, just minutes apart from that earlier shot. Maumee River Morning 20220916-_DSC4652 by Ray L, on Flickr
I took a trip to the Blairsville, GA area this past weekend. I've got to start using my MF lenses on my Z5. Somehow, they always seem to end up on my infrared-converted Z50.
This is the Visitor Center and fire lookout station at the top of Brasstown Bald. The highest peak in Georgia, Brasstown Bald reaches 4,784 ft. 55/3.5 AI'd 22Blairsville - Sept_Z50_0849_Print by Scott Poupard
Nice series Scott. The IR works well with that foliage.
We may be heading to Brasstown Bald this Sunday. Still determining our hiking area.

I hope you have a clear day when you get to Brasstown Bald. The photo was taken from the parking lot near the top of the mountain. It was another 6/10 of a mile to the top and it's a very steep climb. Having made the climb several times in the past, I opted for the shuttle this time!

All images were taken within 60 mins of each other thus showing the ever changing conditions. I need to go and stay for an extended period in order to climb some of those peaks.
