More shots from the same location—I apologize for the lack of variety.
But these photos were taken with both the 50/1.4 AI and the Voigtlander 50/2 Apo Lanthar, just to have a little fun seeing the difference in rendering (I’ll give you a heads-up: i) the 50/2 AL is definitely sharper (no surprise there); iii) it doesn’t exhibit the coma that the Nikkor does at the wider apertures (again, no surprise there); iii) the bokeh is slightly different, and the Voigtlander’s isn’t bad at all—sometimes even preferable; iv) the angle of view of the 50/2 AL at the medium-short distances where I took those photos is slightly wider).
All with Z6 & my old Nikkor AI 50/1.4 @ f/2.8:

I met Regina (milt) this morning and we took a bike ride to celebrate her ankle recovery. We rode the MCRT from rt 128 to Wayland and back. It was great! We started early because the temperature was getting up. Didn't do much picture-takin' because we were riding, but we did stop once or twice.
Be advised that she could be a demon on a bike! I was in front much of the time and kept looking back to see whether we were going too fast or too slow. She was right on my rear wheel. No genteel off-to-the market riding, but serious mileage at speed. I had suggested that easy run because we weren't sure how much she'd want to do after being off the bike for so long. We will do this again but on a more aggressive route next time!
Just a quick pic, since this is a photography forum after all.

If I did not already have the 200 micro and the 400 I'd be buying Harry's. For the other NMFG aficionados, these are great lenses from essentially a thread family member. If you've wanted to try these get them!
