The dog ears on the lens have holes on them but the post says non-AI.
Is it AI converted by any chance?

This is what I love about this board - everybody is helpful and polite.
Agreed, Peter. And something else that I appreciate about this board is the community spirit in which we connect on a more personal level and share with each other during challenging times.
One of those times has arrived for me this week. A bit over a year ago, my 63 year old elder brother had a brush with cancer that had been treated with apparent success and cautious optimism. However, it re-emerged in late November, growing at a disconcerting rate of speed. He went into the hospital last week for a change in his medications, according to what my younger brother was told. I texted my older brother on Monday to learn that he had been transferred to a hospice and that he has been given 2 to 3 months to live. He is impressively sanguine about the news, serving as a model of acceptance and non-attachment. I, on the other hand, find all kinds of emotions coming up, mainly sadness and anger (so far). I recognize this as grief because I experienced it following my parents' deaths, but it's different because they were 90 and my brother is only 63. Because I had been living in the Toronto area and he in Vancouver for many years, I saw my move out here to BC as an opportunity for us to get re-acquainted and do some fun things together. Now that is not going to happen, and I am not happy about it.
So I just wanted to share with you guys about this turn of events in my life.

Pfff... that's some really bad news. I would say spent the time with him as much as possible. I wish you the strength for the coming months.
I love the stars you got from the lights in these night shots. I didn't know the 35/2 would do that - much like a more recent higher end lens.
What settings did you use on those images?
Thx - GT
Any lens should produce stars if stopped down enough. The effect is the result of diffraction that happens when light passes through a small aperture. It is not dependent on the optical construction of the lens.
