Indonesia has 17000 Islands and you already discovered one; a lot to do.
The Komodo (and Rinca) houses the Komodo Dragon. Especially the one on Komodo are huge (3.5 meter).
Totally different from Bali.
When we went to the small Sundan Island as they are called, we only saw a few tourists (except on Komodo and Rinca)

Ok. I´ve been to Bali 2 times. Next time Indonesia, we´ll perhaps take Flores and the Komodo´s. There´s a lot to see and many islands to conquer
Yes, there are quite a few to visit. Well, I´ve been ta a few more,those around Bali and a few around Lombok. But still, there are about 16995 more to go I´ve seen the Komodo dragon on Brisbane zoo once.
Impressive creatures...

Jay, I had a couple on page 5549. Inspired by Rafael, if my memory is correct.
16mm 3.5 and TC14a

Just to say that this is a really inspiring thread to try things out with manual focus lenses. Was it Rafael who showed what you'd get with a TC14a converter on a 16mm 3.5? It made me leave the 20/24/28mm's at home on a recent trip to France.

This is a story often told and surely one of the reasons this thread has had such a long life. I dreamt last night that I'd been given a D850 with some fine AF lens. Perhaps it was viewing a thread on FM where a fellow was asking what AF lens he needed to take photos of dogs running toward him. Being a bit of a pot stirrer I posted Ronny's recent photo of his dog jumping over a fallen tree limb with his 180 f/2.8 AI-s. In my dream I was shooting AF at everything that moved. It was quite thrilling though I was frustrated because I didn't know how to make adjustments on the lens as we all do with our manual focus friends.
Thankfully, you kept your kit of lenses, though you could always do what Chris did after selling his ENTIRE kit of MF lenses... build a new one... But that is a path only a few very diligent shoppers would wish to pursue. Keep the lenses for the simple reason they will ALWAYS give you a satisfying shooting experience. We have a good thing going here and yes, the Df is a wonderful camera with which to play. Mine will never be sold... much like my D700 which I pressed into service last week when I realized I'd forgotten to bring an SD card for my Df. So I shot the D700 with an early 50 f/1.8 AF lens, I definitely missed the 55 f/1.2 S.C. AI but I survived...
I guess that with the D850, just as with most any other camera, th ething that really matters is not so much which lens to use, but who you put behind the camera. By no means do I want to sell my photos any better then they are, but I never got the feeling any of the manual focus lenses were lacking in taking half decent pictures of dogs running in any particular direction.
