This is about one year earlier in June 2017. I was in renal failure and pretty miserable. I went out to check our in ground pool. The liner had failed, and pulled everything into the pool, coping, and dirt from under the concrete decking. There she was hiding Hamish behind her body. Little did I know she was pregnant in this photo, and would abandon Hamish's limp body on our picnic table. When I put out food for her - other cats that turned out to be from previous liters showed up, and I was introduced to an amazing display of caring feral cat society that I never knew existed. They watched out for each other, protected each other - even babysat the young while mommacat would go off for a day or two. It was a good distraction from my own troubles, but I set out to capture them, get their shots, get them fixed and let them go or find homes. They had other plans There were way more of them than I had anticipated, it took longer than thought it would, and a bunch of them decided living in my house was preferable to living outside. Eventually I got what I wanted, but I miss having new kittens twice a year appear in the yard and follow me around....Show more →
Hi everyone, I hope you're all doing well. It's been a while. I now live in Provence. This photo was taken with the "Nikki sister" 85mm f/1.8 HC from the garden of my new house.

I did two bodies using screens from Focusingscreen.com based in Taiwan (I think), but last time was in 2021 and now there are tariff issues to deal with. I did a quick look and they have less options for the Df than they used to and none based on original Nikon screens. So may not be worth it now.
I tried to spend some of your money

But what’s good for that now? IIRC one went out of business and the common one on eBay is garbage (I think).
GeorgeBo wroteIf you think you are going to hold on to that Df, I recommend putting in a split screen/microprism focusing screen.
AdaptedLenses wroteFun exercise in futility!
lirain wroteAdaptedLenses wroteGuess I can get on board with the 85mm f/2. Now I need to directly compare with the K mount f/1.8…
Taken with the Df. A little happier today but focusing wide open close is… fun… with the OVF.The reds and greens are great!
And yes, try to focus the 50 1.2 with the OVF wide open close... THIS is real fun...
Wow Phillipe, that view is gorgeous! Now to see if Curtis pops out of hiding to see it. Definitely not, as Ben used to say, mundane.... Hope all is well with you and your family

Thanks for the lead anyway, I’ve looked at them before, I guess they’re running out of stock to modify to the digital cameras. I think the K3 is what I would have wanted, not sure what the only Eg-AF option is based on…
300mm ED-IF
