I'm finally getting around to digitizing some old film shots.
These were taken, many moons ago, when Patty and I took an underwater photo class with Cathy Church. The camera was a loaner Nikonos V, and I think the lens was the 35/2.5. The film was Fuji Velvia RVP.
Cathy was a terrific teacher and I wanted to do more underwater photography. But we learned that there is a strong inverse relationship between having kids and taking dive trips.
Cheers,

Really cool Jeff. Love that fish. Is it a trigger fish?
After seeing for years the many great photos with the 105mm 2.5, I was lucky enough to recently pick one up at a more than reasonable price at a local sale. The first shot below is a test shot with the lens (with the Sony A7RII). Also, with the 50mm 1.2 AIS and the 200mm f4, I've added a few head shots of the non human variety.

Super shots Jeff. That was a great person to learn from for sure! I shot Sea & Sea Motormarine gear so nothing to share here. Plus it was more work related. I keep seeing Nikonos lenes moving on KEH a lot lately (listed under the Rangefinder lens category)
Good point Peter. Yes, I use the lens that way as well. Sometimes I really want those 200mm bit if that is not a requirement, zooming in or out to get focus is easier then turning the focus ring or move the whole rig back and forth

Hi Kristian
The best aspect of this lens for macro is that you can get perfect focus by sliding the zoom instead of trying to turn the focus ring. I use this lens a lot with various rings and PN-11 and it is very good.

Thanks George. Are you going to get another dog at some point?
I am sure we will at some point. I am beginning to spoil my neighbors dog to the point she stands in her driveway and barks over to our house when I haven't been over in a while.

Thanks, George!
I'd enjoy seeing some of your underwater work. Maybe Curtis could give you an exception for educational purposes.
I have been following the thread from my phone for the last few days. Enjoyed what I have seen but will need to go back and look at the images on a decent sized monitor.
The D7100 IR and 16/3.5 was put to use in the Yorkshire Dales.
Amazing, sunny, warm weather coupled with family, good food, superb scenery and a camera or two. Couldn't get any better.
Route leading to Malham Cove in Malham National Park, Yorkshire, UK
The 80-200 continues to impress in the right hands.
That's a great IR shot (this very latest one) Colin. The trees and shadow in the right half, and the wall texture, play beautifully in the overall glow of the picture.
Have to agree with the others on the fog series, Leighton., great work. My fave is "Brassicas"
