Hi, everyone:

Samy, excellent photograph of the Moon, Jupiter and three of its satellites.

Regina, great capture of the red rose with the 105/2.5.

OffTrail, excellent series with the 35-300. I believe Rafael is a fan of this lens as well.

Ray, great light in your sunset series with the 85/2.

James, excellent photograph of Ellie. The black & white processing is great as well.

I squeezed the Chrysler Building (far left) on this one.

Around the corner from the building:

X-E1 + N.C 28mm f/2

Thanks, Serge! Your photos of NY make me feel nostalgic.

Did some more shooting yesterday. Interesting (to me) is keeper rates (first cull). The Nikkor-S.C 55mm f1.2 ai'd at iso 2500 was 37%, and the 28-200mm f3.5 afd was 61%, and I was shooting as fast as I could at 2500-8000 iso. If I compare image quality between the 55mm manual focus on the Canon 5D mark III, and the 28-200 zoom on the Nikon D850 - the 55mm is better, but the zoom is very very good - better than I expected. I can definitely make the zoom images equal the manual focus in post processing. That makes thsi zoom a keeper, Here are the Nikkor-S.C 55mm f1.2 ai'd images

Your shots look so smooth because your subjects are so photogenic. Cute too.
