A guy hooked a 5-6’ shark from what we could see, lost it before we could get close. Tried to bring it up with a 3’ net. … It’s getting busy down here.

Here are a few of the good ones. I did a little bit of artistic licensing on color, but only just a bit (and I think its obvious on which ones I went beyond). I tend to shoot more of a documentary style.
Nikon Z5 with the Nikkor 55/1.2 AI on a dumb adapter. All shots have the full resolution on Flickr. Only shot that was cropped is the wheat.
This is one of the largest working farms (that offers tours) in the area. We were there with my daughters 2nd grade class. With the exception of three of her classmates, everyone had an awesome time!

I need to take some lessons in Lightroom. So much has changed since I last used it. I didn't know what I was clicking on half the time. !...Show more →
Kein, sorry to hear about the neuropathy, hand in there and take care of yourself. Interesting and well focused farm photos.
Serge, my rangefinder collection is rather common a 2.8cm 3.5, a 3.5cm 3.5 and a 2.5, a few 5cm 1.4 and 2.0, 8.5cm 2.0 and 13.5cm 3.5 and 4 micro. No 3.5cm 1.8, 5cm 1.1, 8.5cm 1.5, or 18cm 2.5 - now or ever. Too pricey for my taste. I was lucky to run across the R-Nikkor 5cm 3.5 prototype #2, which may be the only remaining R-Nikkor in the world. The R-Nikkor is very sharp, specially at short distance that it is designed for and has no chromatic aberration. I have been offered the opportunity to trade it evenly for a 6mm 5.6 - considering that (any advice George?). The 6mm would complete my early fisheye collection. As rare as the R-Nikkor is, it adds little to my images, the 6mm would give me 220 degrees, the sky with ground framing it.
While I sit at home passing time playing with lenses and other not so important past times, you are out in Sevilla having a grand time, thanks for letting us have a look as well, that is really important!
Serge,
I don't think my recent EL-Nikkor binge is going to effect weebay, or any other market prices. I am going to use two of the leftovers to replace the missing lenses (because I sold them) on a Beseler 45MX, and an art-deco looking Kodak Flurolite enlargers. The Omega B22 (XL'd by me) will remain in case I get an urge to print an occasional B&W 8x10. With all the intensive cleaning, organizing, and repairing - I am almost to that point.

Leighton, great capture of a misty downtown Middlebrook.
James, terrific close ups with the EL-Nikkors, very interesting lenses. If you keep this up, I suspect a bump in fleabay prices.
Rafael, I believe the 5cm f/3.5 is the sharpest on the rangefinder glass you have showcased, awesome collection.
George, great photographs specially number 2.
Kevin, excellent photographs from the farm. You seem to be getting along very well with the Z5.
A stroll through the University of Sevilla. It was founded in 1505 and has a student population of approximately 50,000.

My only advice would be unless you want to keep the R-Nikkor just because of its rarity, would be to "collect" what you actually use. No shelf queens needed
*but make sure you are absolutely sure of the true value of that R-Nikkor. Worth a formal appraisal from a reputable company/auction house?
Correct, just a 4mm powered helicoid. Works best with unit focusing lenses. Nikkors with CRC can suffer some but in practice I’ve never noticed a significant issue. It’ll also extend MFD a bit.
I hope I’ll be forgiven for a non Nikkor shot.

Very interesting. So this will work for an LTM by adding the LTM/M adapter additionally, maybe?
