Sorry, but you can't have Nikki back! I'm joking, of course if you want her back just ask.

Love the perspective in that second image. But man...you are living dangerously with your camera in that blowing sand.
The sand was blowing on the pathway at the top of a sand dune. I was well away from it down the slope. 200mm came in handy. I was more concerned about the salty sea air since the onshore breeze was strong. I cleaned all my kit carefully when I got home but accept blustery seashore shooting can be problematic for kit.

The camera / lens interface seems pretty robust to me, I've never deliberately sought out such environs but I've never avoided a situation (other than submersion) in getting a shot. I think luck has something to do with it, though if it's iffy I will avoid changing lenses too often, or seek shelter the equipment before I do. Nice shot, Colin.
I have to warn Raphael not to look! If he does he may be driving to Bakersfield to save the $100 shipping.

George, you are missing a couple lenses, that's your problem. Isn't there a 2.1cm O, and of course you would want the 10.5cm f4 T to complete your list

Leighton I have a problem and need help!
2.8cm f/3.5, 3.5cm in f/2.5 and f/3.5, 5cm f/1.4 and f/2, 8.5cm f/2, 10.5cm f/2.5, 13.5cm f/3.5
I do not own a single Leica lens. Too much for me.

Leighton - Nikki is yours, completely and absolutely. Besides, I have Nikki's older brother, the early H version. When I read George's post I started to miss my LTM mount Nikkors. But no, mustn't look back, in fact we're all at the point where we'll have a whole new range of lenses from Canon and Nikon to consider - the Z and R mount lenses......all new, all dancing designs.

You know I am just waiting for you to pick up the 5cm 1.1
I don't think they made the 2.1cm in Leica screw, just Nikon S. I did pass on a 2.5cm f/4, was in terrible shape and really only good for parts only. But not priced as such.
Wider than 2.8 and you have to deal with color vignetting with the old made for film glass. Even shows up in the 2.8cm in certain lighting. Not an issue when your goal is black and white. Also easy to correct with a tool like CornerFix.
Not just an issue with the old Nikkor, same with the old Leica and Voigtlander glass too.

Serge, nice shots from the golf course. Are the deers feeding off the grass on the course?
/Kristian
Thanks, Kristian.
Not sure about the deer feeding on the course but that lush green grass has to be very tempting snack. Assuming they do, apparently there is no harm being done as they are allowed run freely and enjoy the greens. I spotted others late afternoon off the main road (too far for photos) so there are quite a few.
I already posted a photo of this knife yesterday (or was it the day before?)
This is pretty much my everyday carry and prototype knife. I wanted to see how much work it would be to replace part of the handle, in case someone would ask me about repairing a knife I made.
In this case, it took me about 7 hours to remove the previous bit of wood, clean up the knife tang, prepare all surfaces, fit a new piece of wood (now Elm burl) and shape and finish the handle.
It was an interesting exercise.
I really hope I can make some knives as commission work, (I'm not advertising here, just thinking out loud, dreaming of the moment I can hold my own camera again ) which would then help me buy a digital camera (used D800 seems to be the most likely candidate at the moment) so I can finally go on taking pictures again. I really like the craft aspect of this hobby, and I will continue making these, but I really miss going outdoors and taking pictures
