Thanks Dan. The requirement for this thread is the lens only be by Nikon. I can assure you that Nikon lenses adapt quite well to Canon bodies as these last two were shot on the 5DS-R.

Posting one just to say hi 👋

Nikkor 45mm 2.8P with FTZ II. Colin you are right, Z camera has much better handling with the FTZ II.

One from this afternoon. Tiny flower in very harsh light, but a pretty special flower.

This is an Oconee Bell. Limited to cool moist stream banks within the Southern Blue Ridge. Originally discovered by Andre Michaux in 1787, Oconee Bells were lost to American botany for years. A famous 19th century botanist Asa Gray spent decades searching for the rare plant. They were rediscovered in 1877 by a seventeen year old boy.

Nice shots, interesting point on CCD DX…

@GeorgeBo, both of those are excellently captured and seen.

Serge...I looked on flickr groups and decided the D40X sensor was the look I liked, I love the D200 and S5 Pro too. CCD DX Nikon is dirty dirty cheap right now and with MF Nikkors which are also cheap you can pick up an amazing system.

Here is the D40X and 28/2 K today.
I call it the Hollywood rig...cropped 28 equals 42.
The D40X sensor fits my rubber focus ringed, multi-coated, saturated, rendering like out of a 70s Nat Geo magazine (natural I guess) lens just fine.

I was just starting to wonder where you went.

Interesting story, I love how strait the stem is. It reminds me of a potato blossom.

This is a reconstruction of a basement at the end of the 19th century in Amsterdam. You can see the small window at the top left. This was the house of a family with 5 children. The parents slept in the box bed at the back and the children sitting on the cot. The poop box is at the bottom left and when it was full it was emptied into the canal.
I'm guessing 2,5 by 3,5 meter.

Yes I realized that Jim but just entered a thought as I stumbled onto this post.
My comment was just about the music group.
Thanks Jim!

Hi, Jeff:

I am also a fan of the Fuii S5 Pro and have posted quite a few photos from the machine here. What sets it apart from the other CCD cameras is the huge latitude in its highlight dynamic range. I would use the D40 more often but manually metering non chipped lenses gets old fast.

The D200 would be a nice camera as it has an excellent body, meters with non chipped lenses and has a far superior viewfinder compared to other CCD Nikon DX cameras.

Serge,

I bought a Fuji from Japan last night...the serial nr. is interesting... 93000009. Maybe one of the first ten S5 Pros? It will be a "I used to own one but sold it so I bought it again" deal. I'm thinking about using it for b&w primarily. Now to get some filters.

Nicely done, George. I especially like the out of focus bits.

I have been using the Like button a lot lately. We are living elsewhere for a bit while we do some work on the home. Photo ops have been non-existent in the other place but I'm going to try and seek them out, starting tomorrow.

Jeff, congrats on the S5. I have a couple low shutter count S5s (one with 600) and cannot see ever parting with them. These cameras have shot up in value in recent years.

I use Nik Silver Efex Pro for b&w conversions and it works very well plus has the advantage of leaving the color file intact.

Have fun with the new toy!

I tried to PM but my post count isn't high enough yet.

Serge,

I have a couple of questions for you if you don't mind.

Do you use the free download Nik software? Does Silver Efex handle RAF files? Will it convert RAF files? I have always used Nikon software and Gimp for post work and I am way rusty with my photography as I haven't been shooting much for the last 6 or 7 years and haven't owned an S5 since about that time. I had the Fuji software back then and that is what I used.

I received the camera today. Ordered Saturday came today - from Japan to Oklahoma...amazing. It's near mint came with charger battery cf card neckstrap. 4600 shutter count. Not bad for $300!

Thanks,
Jeff

Jeff, welcome!

George, good to see you found some time for the Nikkors. Still have the touch, I could tell it was a George shot.

Starry skies with an f3.5 lens, good shot Scott. Maybe I don't need the AF Nikkor f1.8 after all.

Beautiful colors in the basement shot Chris. Families sure seemed to endure more back then. I also very much enjoyed the post office series.

James, I actually like the 55mm turntable shots more. A parallel tracking table even, love it.

And just coming into bloom...most excellent!

I think that 400 now makes it like 7-8 more lenses I need.

All my respect to you Mr. Palmer.
