Jim, I was at Fishtown less than 2 weeks ago, and your wonderful shots have made me think I need to revisit LR to check out black & white. Unfortunately AF lenses only on that day.
Martin, that's quite a landscape just two blocks from your home. Always enjoy the quality lighting you capture!
Andrew, once again thanks for letting me travel virtually with good pics and narrative. Especially like the looks of the Duke of Marlborough Hotel and Whaler, and the last landscape shot.
Thought I would get this out a little early this year
Tomorrow is the 8th anniversary of our old friend Ray Steele's death
He was one of the original members of this thread and a great contributor
Curtis ,Ray and myself had a great time in Delray Beach when Curtis was visiting Florida
Still miss him
Here's another little set of IR images from the Forbidden Plateau, of which two are rendered as monochrome and one is rendered in false colour. The first two are courtesy of the 24 f/2.8 N, and the third is brought to you by the 50 f/1.2 Ai-s.

Sometimes, the morning light and clouds line up this time of year to really pop an ordinary image into a keeper. Fuji X-S10 and 28mm f2.8 ais with speedbooster.

Ray Steele was a great guy and I enjoyed his visits when I had two broken legs. We’d eat lunch and take some photos him following me in my wheelchair. When I was able to start walking Reagan and he came over and we watched as Reagan put a battery in my Corvette long since dead from sitting 5-6 months.
He had many friends as show in this memorial service Reagan, Robin and I went to.
This from "The Complete Nikon System" book I have...
Nippon Kogaku also offered a version of the 25mm f/4 with the M39 screw mount, used on many cameras of the 1940s and 1950, including Canon, Tower, Leica, Nicca, Leotax, and Tanack. This version is significantly smaller than the original Nikon bayonet model and has a chrome finish with black numbers engraved on the aperture ring.
So, old
It is an incredible performer on the Monochrom. f/8 - f/11 is the sweet spot. You get color shifts if shooting on other bodies (like all old wide rangefinder lenses). Would be interesting to try on a BSI sensor.

Incredibly sharp! How old is this lens?

Did not meet Ray as others did, but he was always very kind to my simple photography in this Forum. I always wanted that 85mm 1.4 he is holding, just because it was his, a good Karma lens.

RIP Ray, thanks for the reminder Reagan. I too only had interaction with him on this thread but a lovely fella.
Thanks for the likes and comments, I'm really liking the output of the GFX (thanks Glen).
Here's that crop again ! This is Puriri Bay campsite, which is on the "inside" of a promontory looking across to the west and the main body of N.Island.
The last night of 3 here it was blowing a gale and my kmart tent was waving around like one of those blow up men outside car dealerships Added to that I thought I had lost my car keys it was not a pleasant night.
Not sure I'll ever get use to 4:3 though. This is a wild (?) clematis on a walk on the point with GFX50S and P.C. 28mm
This is my ride for the trip 2007 Honda Jazz Sport (I've called him Jeff after DJ Jazzy Jeff of Fresh Prince duo fame). Even has flappy paddles if I put it in 7 speed manual mode (it's a CVT auto box)
Thanks. Worth a lot more today than when I got it. Could flip it but it is one of the "keeper" lenses for sure. Would love to try it on an M11 camera with the 60MB BSI sensor and see if the color shift goes away. May be something to rent for a week.

That is one pretty, and pricey, lens George; sharp too. Well composed.
