May I formally introduce the 10mm OP to the Fred Miranda Nikkor Manual Focus thread. Friendliest and longest lasting Nikkor MF thread, must be 10,000 pages or more.
Here is the 8mm 1:8, 7.5mm 5.6, 10mm 5.6, 8mm 2.8. Many years hours of searching for right price and condition. Now all I need is a 6mm..........
This is how I store mirror up lenses, buy a cheap F to Z adapter, remove the bayonet springs so there is no wear mounting and use for back cap.
The original plastic rear caps are too rare to use.

Here are a few more from my infrared excursion to the Forbidden Plateau, and exploration through Lightroom, Photoshop, and the Nik collection. The first, second, and fourth were shot with the 50 f/1.2 Ai-s, and the third is from the 24 f/2.8 NC.

Thats very kind, thank you!
Parts of Namibia can be extremely alien, and in some ways very difficult to photograph... but at some point something goes click and then it's easy. What helped me was years of B&W photography with my Rolleiflex, which changed the way I look at things to photograph.

I agree, growing up with film and a camera such as the Rolleiflex, makes one slow down the process. This is one reason I love shooting with manual focus lenses.
