So, of the two, which do you learned folks prefer - if any?

This time with the 200/4 AI-S

Colin, I prefer the second. The snow is the main object and the building is of secondary interest - the second image emphasises the snow very nicely. Great image IMO

I bought my Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/4 AI-S (second hand) in 1987 and still have it today.
I mainly use it for all kinds of portrait and for some detail shots in wedding. The 1:2 direct ratio is more than enough for me and if in some cases I need a magnification bigger than 1:2 I use my PN-11 extension tube with this lens.
Here are some portrait shots:

#1: Nikon D800, Micro-Nikkor 105/4 AI-S, 1/200", f/4, 1600 ISO.




#2: Nikon D800, Micro-Nikkor 105/4 AI-S, 1/160", f/5.6, 5600 ISO.




#3: Nikon D800, Micro-Nikkor 105/4 AI-S, 1/400", f/5.6, 125 ISO.

Glen, my condolences on your loss, your brother looks young in that picture, may he lead us all to a good place!!!!

the first one for processing and the second for composition, don't ask me why.

Markus, I set my image files for upload here, to 1000 pixels on the longest edge, 72 dpi. Not seeing loss.

It's time for the next instalment in my Scotland series - this one taken on a beautiful afternoon in Plockton, where we enjoyed a Pint or two, admiring the view over the bay before heading for a wonderful evening dinner of Haggis-stuffed chicken breast in Whisky sauce.

Have a great sunday!

Markus

EDIT: I've noticed the photo looks less sharp on here than on my computer, also it has been downsized from the original 1400px wide. I tried uploading it at 1200px wide, but that also looked less sharp than the original. Does FM add additional compression to the uploads? Is there

So sorry for your loss, Glen. Maybe do a photo book of the images of the two of you together on outings?

Hello everybody! Yesterday was the Kiwi Camera exchange in Winter Park and saw some new people there with some regulars gone. Got a line on a silver Df and have relayed the info to Reagan. May see him tomorrow!

The crowd was pretty good and a lot of college age people in attendance and looking at the old stuff. The first shot is one of the tray of treats Michael's wife cooks up for the crowd. Donations to charity only!

Relatively few Nikon MF lenses. Saw a 45mm PC, all boxed with papers, with an asking price of a $1000. I

Colin, my preference is for the second. I like the bright crispness of the "white" snow. It conveys more of the coolness of the scene.

I thought about it but thinking it would be best if used with a tri-pod which I try to avoid. I own two, a heavy one and a lightweight one but never warmed up to them. I know Jay uses his PC a lot with terrific results with tripods as well as hand held. Then there was the $1000.00. 💰💰💰

Colin, the second shot and not because of the shift in position but because of the processing. Also, how does that beach sand get stuck in the trees! 😃😃😃

Unfortunately, I have just two photos of him on outings with me, both taken with the 16 f/3.5 fisheye. Here is the other one.
