Philippe - really like this shot! I am getting a 55 1.2. Been going around about it for months now, but I keep coming across images here that I really like.
The problem will be figuring out just which 55 1.2 to acquire - seems like there are many editions, then finding a good copy. But I have waited too long!
Great image!!!
Don't overanalyze this. Any of the 55mm f1,2 lenses is good. As far as bad copies are concerned, try to pick up an optically good looking copy and the rest should be ok.
Our little project house in Washington state. Shot from near bridge above the canyon, looking through bare winter branches, 6-shot pano/composite. The Sony camera is a real help with its in-body image stabilization for all lenses, including older manual focus Nikon.
I made a video discussing how to remove the pesky screws on the bayonet.
Hell, I have a JIS 00 screw but I put in my drill, focus the lens to infinity, make sure the bit is seated in the stew head, and while holding everything firm, reverse out the screw. Only broke one screw doing that. But I buy busted up lenses...
Meet Milou, born last Thursday and our youngest member of the family.
Initially she had some problems starting up everything, but now everything is fine and she can go home tomorrow.
The first image (less than 1 day old) is in the 105E thread.
Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. I am home, but it will be a while before I do any shooting. I have a new 12 inch scar to deal with. Makes me wish for my old drug days.
The doctor said that he got everything and that the prognosis was good. No more treatment needed.

That's some good news Leighton. As for that scar, I can't really relate to that, but Kristina also has one of those (C-section) so I should ask her how that was. No heavy lifting for 4 months, but she was up and walking the day after the surgery. Tough little girl I must say.
I hope you find some help around the farm. No heavy lifting means that Barbara will have to do a lot of the chores right now

That is great news Leighton!! So good to see you back. Wishing you a speedy recovery. We still need to get together and wet that fishing line Maybe this fall.

Columbia Wharf viewed across the river Thames from Canary Wharf.
Decided to take the 200mm f/4 but forgot to take the tripod with me so sharpness was compromised a bit due to less than ideal support options.
Maybe this fall.
