Great photos of classic autos recently so thought to add to the fun.
The 1967 Stingray 427, beauty in simplicity. A sight for sore eyes in NYC where one usually sees yellow cabs, vans, trucks and all sorts of uninspiring automobile designs.
Thanks everyone for all the likes! Very much appreciated.
Thanks, Leighton! I was very lucky with the timing as the Stingray was not there for long.
The 55/2.8 is great lens. It matches very well with with the X-T2 and first time I have seen the pair in action. Your photos are very colorful & sharp. I may have to give it a whirl on the X-E1.

Peter, have it shipped to your relative's place in USA then come visit to pick it up!
I'd love to but.......
I am off to Cape Town tomorrow for what is probably my last ever overseas trip. Getting a Schengen visa is an absolute nightmare and I am definitely too old for all this S***! Not only is it a bureaucrats dream but extremely expensive with travelling 600 mile there and back for a piece of paper that lasts 3 months. At least a US visa is for 10 years (maybe it would outlast me!) but I really don't need the hassle.

George, excellent work on the knife resurrection. A worthy effort for a worthy knife.
Rafael, thank you for the comparison. I more intuitively sold my 24mm f2,8 Nikkor N after a while and hope I will never have to sell my UD Nikkor because I really think it's one of the most likeable 20mm lenses available for F mount.
Today however, I did not bring the UD Nikkor. I borrowed Kristinas D800 once more and brought the 300mm f2,8 ED-IF Ai-S Nikkor
Samy, when using these fast super teles one really notices how these optics are in a different league. Interesting because Rafael showed us very effectively how the 8mm f2,8, representing the opposite side of the spectrum, is in a league of it's own as well
Buddy the only lens close to that league I have is the 500 F4 P, the first time I looked through it I realized how much sharper the glass was compared to other lenses I had.
Yes, there's only one place to see the Valkyrie/XB-70 and that's right here. When it was in the old R&D gallery on the base side, it BARELY fit in the hangar they had. Now it looks tiny in there in comparison.

The Valkyrie? I now really have to visit the Wright-Patterson museum some day Laura. Or some year.
Samy you are the Mayor of Baltimore! Terrific street captures using the lenses you use and you always seem to capture the moment as that last shot of yours attests !!
Leighton your market shots are always appreciated!
Raphael the 8mm is fantastic in your hands!
Laura OK just maybe we'll try and see the USAF Museum now that it's properly lit!
Jay nice series of Watkins Glen.
Here are some from earlier this year taken at the Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Ky.
OK, just let me know! That Marine Corps Vette, is that on the hood?
