"Chasing the Green Dragon"
Considering the crowd of Nikkor glass chasers, you may entertain a 'trip' to your northern neighbour, Canada to indulge yourself in real wormwood, non-"thujone-free" absinthe, which is widely legal and available in liquor stores across our country. It equals Lead Glass, manual lenses focusing experience.

Is that the top to the bottle? If so, would you send one to me? (after you finish the contents of the bottle, of course) Can't drink due to medication (gabapentin) but that is a beautiful cube.
Great shot of it!

But that type of shot o a Pier is very common.
That much I know. We've watched all six seasons of The Rockford Files many times.
Speaking of terminology, why is the "still life" genre called "still life" when it so often features inanimate objects like rocks or bowls or empty vases? (That's a rhetorical question, don't answer it!)

I’ll trade you viewfinder’s for your plain one on the F2. I have the metered prism, but have always wanted the plain one.
I may consider taking you up on that request but first I'd like to experience the camera as it is. Well, actually, in a good working state, not as it is if it really needs light seal and mirror bumper replacement.
The Photomic viewfinder on the F sure adds a lot of weight. I can see how someone good at judging the light might prefer the plain finder with a film that tolerates exposure error. My first SLR had no meter. At first I was reasonably good at judging exposure but with more confidence I got worse, sure missed a lot of pics because of it.
Siphiwe, great colors on the "Survivor". I knew it was the DF before looking.
Andy, terrific landscape photographs. The parrot capture was super.
Matt, great photos of the bridge. That is a very photogenic view.
JIm, nice collection of film gear you were able to acquire. It all looks to be in minty condition, have fun taking it for a spin.
Ronda, Spain:
This is part of a series from a hike from the New Bridge to the Old Bridge.
I will day this about Ronda, if one is not in decent walking shape upon arrival, they will be by the end of the adventure. It was a heck of a workout trying to see as much as possible in a short period of time.
Walking away from the New Bridge, there are several restaurants lining the right wall of the structure.
Entering a narrow stone street that leads to the Old Bridge with stunning views along the way.
Thank you BLLX and others.
@NightOwl Cat - actually, the cube is an old style inkwell I got from a friend of mine who got me years ago into fountain pens hobby. Still, today I plan to get a bottle of Czech's Absinthe and will definitely drink it to your and other FM-rs health.

The annual walleye run in the Maumee River has begun. 400mm f5.6 AIS. Still don't know how they do this and not constantly be tangled up, but it works.

I just received a minty Bellows-Nikkor 105/4 (from the last batch of lenses with the lens-data on the outside of the body). This brings my 105mm collection up to eight Nikkors (if you include the 100/2.8 Series-E, which I do!). I hadn't intended to buy one of these, having recently purchased the 120/5.6 AM-ED which was my "ideal" macro lens for the PB-4. However, when perusing the internet for "lens porn" images of the vaunted 200~400/4 ED (less than 500 ever made), I tripped over a listing at Blue Moon "Camera and Machine" in Portland OR for a complete setup (including the hood, hood cover, and bright yellow carrying pouch) for only $750 (which is SUPER-cheap for this lens). It was already sold (luckily for my GAS!), but I decided to check out the shop's other listings and that's how I found the minty/cheap Bellows-Nikkor now in my possession. I'd never heard of Blue Moon camera, but their pricing seems very fair, and based on my Bellows-Nikkor, their quality ratings are honest. The shop actually phoned me after I placed my order to make sure I was aware that the lens had no focusing-helicoid and needed to be mounted on a bellows, so I would say they are a shop I will deal with in future....Show more →
105mm 4.0 Bellows on a 105mm 4.0 micro, same lens optically.
