Opposite end of the spectrum from Rafael’s collection… wanted to help out a guy that runs the local lab and has had a rough year. He was trying to get rid of stuff and needed cash. A bit of fungus and no beauty queens, but they all work and glass doesn’t effect IQ. The 55/1.2 I’ve been looking for and the 105/1.8 he almost insisted I take, plus a miraculous 80-200 f/4.5 that doesn’t have zoom creep! I have about 10 other misc lenses including some decent Minoltas, etc. so I’ll have enough to pay with for a bit.
The denoise function in LR has allowed me to work on a few oldies.
The summer has neen really wet and cold in the UK so I have taken to the digital darkroom to get a fix or two.
This one from 4 years ago on the D7100 IR and 24/2.8 NC
Colin, the surreal light in this photo is incredible. Well captured and well processed.

That is quite the unique looking building, Colin; though as Luka pointed out, it does have a bit of a Frank Gehry vibe to it. I am happy to report that my newly IR-converted (720 nM) D7200 arrived in the mail yesterday, so I am hoping to take that out for a spin in the near future.

Glen, excellent work with the classic auto photos. Come on down should you ever wish to photograph yellow cabs.
Serge
Thanks Serge! Your photo is evidence that Yellow cabs are not the only mode of photographable transport in NYC; but I do take your point!

All nice Glen, but the last one does it for me. I think you have found your photographic calling.
Thank you for your very kind words, Leighton! I enjoy hiking in the woods with my camera more than I enjoy the car shows, but I find the cars to be very inspiring subjects, so I keep going back.
Thanks to everyone who has liked and/or commented on my various classic car photos. Hopefully you won't regret having encouraged me to keep posting them. Since the truck show and the Duncan show 'n' shine (which I haven't finished posting from yet), I've been to two other smaller events and there is a third one tomorrow. So---if you'll pardon the pun---buckle up!
And so, here is another set of three photos of a single car in Duncan, courtesy of the 50 f/1.2 Ai-s (first and third shots) and the 24 f/2.8 NC (second image).

Very much enjoying Glen's car photos, so different from my own and very creative,
Finally received a rafcamera order of 52mm to Nikon Z adapter, these coupled with a K3 and K4 Nikon rings, which are a F to 52mm and 52mm extensions was all it took for the Nikon Rayfact 90mm 4 to reach infinity.
And what a lens it is! super sharp, squeezes every pixel out of the Z7.
here is the rig, funny how the knurling in the 40 year old exension ring matches that of the much newer lens.
Impressive combo kit and great results Rafael! Are you using a tripod or just utilizing the IBIS of the body?

It is all good, it is our hobby and entertainment. We each do it as we like. I should start a collection of user lenses! Legend is that the worse a Nikkor looks cosmetically the better an image it makes and that is how it got used so much.
Maybe start a ugliest Nikkor that works contest! that would be fun .
