You should use it more - these are fantastic.
Colin,
Thank you for the encouragement. I agree I should use it more. Problem is I have many wonderful lenses and I need to make a conscious decision what lens to put before I head out.

I have not shot with MFNG for a bit while. So, I took out 55/1.2. It is still quite a joy to use this lens. Cross posted from Z images thread.
Colin - Always wanted a wildflower "lawn", so colourful ! And yes, mow at the right time and it self seeds for next year (I saw that somewhere the other day, maybe on Ep1 of the Wild Isles Sir David series)
George - love that 2nd shot of the Bur Oak
Hope everyone is well (had a couple of shocking sudden departures in my life recently, 1 the manager of the tyre depot we use for work and another a childhood friend, both sudden massive heart attacks).
My GFX is still going, takes a while to warm up, shutter button works, takes more pics than I want, then refuses to take any, then works ok. My P.C. 28mm f3.5 is also wobbling around, letting light in if I don't hold it together !

Sorry to hear about the loss of your friends, Andy; and it's nice to see you back here with some photos.
Ray, it is possible that the 135 wasn't wide open for these shots, as neither the X-T4 nor I record the apertures used, and it's also likely that my post-processing methods affected the background. I always try to limit the latter effect, but sometimes it seems unavoidable in achieving a desirable overall result.
In other news, I just sent my D7200 to LifePixel for conversion to 720 nM infrared. According to the person I spoke with there, the D7200 can usually do fine in setting the white balance with the 720 nM filter. He said it would struggle with the 590 nM or other more colour-oriented frequencies. So I am looking forward to adding it to my range of photographic tools.
Here are a few photos from Little Qualicum River, which is located on the road to Cathedral Grove. These were all taken with the 20 f/3.5 UD. While I was shooting these photos, I came across a fellow using a Z7II with some Voigtländer MF lenses. He had been a Fuji guy, but had switched to the Nikon body for the full frame sensor. I remain happy with my Fuji and the Lens Turbo II, at least for the foreseeable future (as long as I can resist Samy's tempting influence )....Show more →
Geez, get a little busy at work and 35 pages have flown by. Got out a little around the 4th here but mostly snapshots of family. Couple car details from the parade with 100mm Series E. Fortunately the shiners didn’t crash this year.

As the saying goes, "I don't want to whip a dead horse". But, is anyone else experiencing soft images when shared on this thread compared to what they see on their computer?
The reason I'm asking is that I have a theory that it may have something to do with the Xtrans sensor of my Fuji, but I'm not sure. Or...perhaps it may be sharing from Flickr. I'm bound to find out.
I think you are just trying to convince yourself that you really need to come back to shooting a Nikon body

It is sharper, but I can't reduce the size when I put it on here from Blogger.
