Thanks James, yes, it has a 39mm filter internally. Hood is totally external though.
And these were all hand held. The ambulance is about 1500 feet away from where I was shooting.

SHARP!
Edit - does it have a permanent UV filter like the 600mm f5.6 ais? (I see that rubber edging) - also, is part of the hood system built in? Mine is, but has a carbon fiber accessory extension.

Wasn’t someone asking about the 105 1.8 a week or two ago? Took my copy out this morning, its an absolute beater but seems to do well enough for me, better closer up and wide open isn’t the most impressive but it’s f/1.8.
Love the simplicity of the last image. Without the boat, it would have been just so so, IMHO.

The R-Nikkor 5cm 3.5 prototype lens arrived, second Micro Nikkor lens ever made by Nippon Kogaku. This is the mother lens to all micro and ultra micro Nikkors.
It is incredibly like new, these lenses were packaged in a tiny M39 bubble with a plastic S to M39 adapter to store the lens, I do not have that adapter, so used a cheap chinese one instead. but everything else is there. On the Z cameras it is deployed on an Amedeo adapter.
With this lucky accidental find I have entered Nikkor heaven, my right eye is healing nicely too, we will have a good time.

Hey Colin, I saw your MFNG contribution to a Youtube livestream last night. I enjoyed the episode. Infra red is far more popular than I thought.
Nice action shots Serge. You must have been near the front.
Tennis is fine for MF lenses because most of the time the players are going to be in and around the baseline - so you can pre-focus and wait for suitable action. Getting the ball in the shot is a challenge because they hit it so hard.

That would be a Grays of Westminster Youtube.
I did email an architecture picture to them a few weeks ago and they did acknowledge receipt of it.
I didn't know they were going to include it.
Color or B&W? I can't decide, but I'm leaning toward the B&W. That's what I saw in my mind's eye before taking the photo, but I also like the color and can't decide which I like better.

That's really cool Colin. Thanks for sharing the link.

That's a wonderful looking lens, Rafael. It also seems corner to corner sharp. I only half believe the luck and accidental part though , you are a master of seeking and finding these pristine lenses.

I don't know about you folks, but I get and shoot these old lenses for their character and unique rendering. I say this before posting two shots using a 1950s lens wide open in a landscape environment. Why have f/1.8 if you don't shoot it at f/1.8
Below are two from yesterday. First one from a vantage point overlooking the Cradle of Forestry area of the Pisgah National Forest. The second, from a walking trail within the Cradle of Forestry.
Both with the Nikon S mount 3.5cm f/1.8 lens shot @ f/1.8 on the Z8
I like them both, but if you visualized the B&W before taking the shot, that is the one to go with. I think that is what is so enjoyable about photography. Having a vision of what you want before you take the shot or even go on a photo shoot.

Color one for me. When I look at the b&w one it fades away on the right hand side since the tree trunk is so dominant.
The color one makes the ferns stand out.
