Back from my trip. So many memories and so much images. I hope to start sharing them soon. Given that it was mostly a family trip in an RV with no other mode of transportation, I was mostly limited to daylight shots with typical touristy lighting. But Weather was constantly changing in Yellowstone that there were shots taken in less ideal conditions that helped with variety.
None of the three is bad. None of the three will lose you any money should you decide to buy, try and sell.
Personally I would go with the 20mm. I find myself skipping 24 and 28 if I have the choice. From 20 straight to 55 and then to 105. Works like a charm for me. For wider, I still have the 16mm f3,5 fish eye. Also highly recommended
charles.K: Very nice work with the 50 f/1.2 Ai-s!
Leighton: I always enjoy our annual season of vicarious attendance at the Staunton farmers' market.
John: Indeed summer does seem to have arrived here in the PNW, land of mountains and ferries!
Adam: That is pretty much a perfect composition of that church photo.
Ram: It's great to have you back; I'm looking forward to your Yosemite photos and whatever else you have to share.
Luka: Your series of diptychs and triptychs have inspired me to create a triptych of my own, which is posted below.
Here are some photos from Englishman River Falls, of which the first shows a unique moment in the life of one section of the falls, and the second is a vertical triptych that captures three unique moments in the life of another section of the falls. All photos were taken with the 135 f/2 Ai-s with focal reducer on my Fuji X-T2.
What Glen said about the previous couple pages! Leighton, Charles, John, Adam; Luka, enjoyed those pics!

Main Street, Ellicott City, in January 2018 which had been opened up just a few weeks before, after over a year of rebuilding and repairs from the summer 2016 floods. Well the 1000 year flood hit again 2 years later, this past Sunday. The busy part of the street is at the bottom of a valley, and when it rains heavily, the water gushes down the slopes from all sides, including along this angle. There's a number of shops and restaurants in historic buildings along the street. Almost all of them were finally re-opened after the 2016 flood, and now are shut down again.
For those of us who wonder how well our MF Nikkors square up against more modern offerings have a look at this blog by Kirk Tuck and at his images with the 70-210 f4-5.5 which he picked up for $75.
New edit -old image. A wheel from Air India , Malabar Princess, Lockheed L-749A Constellation , which crashed on Mont Blanc on 3 November 1950 killing 40 passengers and 8 crew.
The wheel assembly emerged from the Bossons glacier in 2001 50 years later.
Thanks for the comments and likes on my last post. I see I have a lot of catching up to do.
I have been trying to get the house ready for my youngest son's graduation open house. The last 14 months of health issues resulted in the house and yard being a mess. So the kittens have being seeing a lot of me power washing, building stairs, laying sod, and putting in a vegetable garden. This is the braver of the two kittens. Every time I feel eyes on me - he is watching nearby.
