Fabulous photos Ross, I’ve had my 105 2.5 hidden away for a while, inspired to take it out this week - if it stops raining here 🙂
Thank you! When I tested mine I was really pleased with the color, contrast and sharpness for a multi-decades-old optic. And the feel in hand is a real pleasure. Post up some pics when you get shooting with it!

Happy and prosperous 2025! may you and your loved ones enjoy a great year.
Peter, great stacks!
Samy, as you may remember, after years of looking for a 300mm 4.5 ED K I found one in pretty decent condition but the size and slower focusing make me take the EDIF instead. I thngk my next lens will be a 400mm 5.6 EDIF - Maybe
Matt you have been showing a mastery of twilight recently.
Serge, that is one beautiful Creche!
George, very painting like image and colors on the 28mm forest.
Ross, that is one obedient Lion, to place herself so well in your composition!
Hang in there Laura.
Beautiful view of THE tree Serge.
Love your tree too fjablo.
High speed onto 2025 on that trolley, Regina!
Hope indeed James, it is the only life outcome we control.
Went to Balboa Park to see the rebuilt botanical building, a favorite of my circular fisheyes. Took the 7.5mm, the plan exhibits are not yet up to par, but the building is beautiful $26M of high grade woods.
Impressive woodwork! And your mastery of the fisheye in that setting is just as impressive!

I just love that first image! Really speaks to me.

First image post of 2025, wow how did we get here already?!
For me personally this photo is meaningful, I just uncovered it a few days ago as I have been going back and processing overlooked images from a 2012 Utah trip. Shot with the 135mm f/2.8 AI-S. This is the type of fall composition I still love to make today with my modern Sony system, but that old glass has come through beautifully. I’m looking forward to printing this one on my favorite Canson etching rag.
Stunning Ross!

thanks Samy, son is home recuperating, some pain, but nothing medication can't handle. I'm nervous about mine. Moggi did drink some water a little bit ago, and hopefully for now, is stabilizing, maybe just tummy upset. Cautiously ok for the night.
Will keep your surgery in mind and prayer Laura.

Following on to Matt's post re long exposures
Mounted the 28 3.5 PC on the Z5 and tried a couple of long exposures at the Knysna Heads this morning
using a combination of Lee and Benro filters . 10 stop + soft grad ND9 + polariser. I got a couple of reflections of the aperture in the sky which is disconcerting. I don't know but assume they're reflecting off the filter or maybe because I didn't block the eyepiece. Next time I'll try using screen only mode.
I went to have lunch with a friend in a town a couple of hours away when I came up on this cool building (at least I think it's cool).
Nikon Z50ii, LTII, Nikkor-O.C 35/2
Imagine my surprise when I was putting together a camera kit to take with me today and I realized that I have 2 copies of the 35/2. One is the Nikkor-O and the other is the Nikkor-O.C. I don't know when or how I purchased a second copy, but I'll take it!
I think that building is cool too. Like it in B&W processing too.

Went back to Balboa Park on the first, this time with the 8mm 2.8. The 7.5mm is small and light and its imaging is adequate, but the 8mm 2.8 ais is a very different beast.
