Looks like the F2AS is in good hands. Excellent work.
'Times gone by' advertising captured with kit from a previous era too (OK we can exclude the scanner).
Keep us informed of any planned trip to the UK. It would be great to hook up.
Don't worry Ken, they are definitely not the last, I have hundreds and hundreds of shots to post yet !
The guy in the last post was a on a religious pilgrimage and was sitting in a covered structure opposite the temple entrance singing. I asked if I could take a pic and he was ok with that.
The pics of the monkeys were taken outside the temple too, I wandered round taking pics while my wife was inside the temple with our guide/driver.
Some more things outside the temple. Amazing how quickly one becomes used to seeing cows in the street !

Kristian,
Great shot with the 24 and extension tube. Which size did you use?
I keep on meaning to try this on my 24 NC. I was playing around with my 55/1.2 and a PK-11 this morning.
Colin
Thanks Colin!
I had the Vivitar 12mm size ring on. First I had both the 36mm and the 12mm mounted but it was not doable since I had to go too close. The 12mm is just enough.

Leighton - hope you rode out the storms ok yesterday and it didn't impact the Market today. I was staying with my mom (health issues) and it got quite interesting in southern Va.
George
I hope your mom will be ok.
All we had from the storm was a little rain and wind, no-biggie.
The weather for the Market turned out to be beautiful. Here's some images with the 50-135mm mounted once again.
Leighton I had to reflect a bit more than George on that first image, Truthfully I was focused on "Morganically" when it hit. Kudos to Norm and Barb for great portrait shots,
Andy that last shot is classic heart to heart talk (as if they could!)
George good job and nice place to test the F2.
Yesterday a trip to Auburndale with a bit of trespass involved. If you love orange juice like I do, well here is one home of a lot of Florida grown, Perhaps twenty trailers in a row with a dozen or so back to back rows all ready for the juice plant.
Thought I had lost them because I must have hit F2, Alt F4 or Shift Escape because my computer deleted a lot of stuff. Seems my battery died and I found everything in the recycle bin which luckily I was able to restore, I really hate these things!
Today we went to the bulb-growing fields. Beautiful weather. Unfortunately, everyone does that and especially at Easter; people from all over the world. The Keukenhof looked like the largest parking space in Europe. People were sent back because the park was completely full (overcrowded I would say). Fortunately we were on the bike and have driven a nice lap of 46km. The tulips had almost finished flowering, but still enough beautiful colors. Everything with the "Leighton lens".
Obligatory Tulip season... (Also, how are you guys downsizing your images without losing to much detail to 1.4MB to fit into this thread? I reduced it to 2MP through LR and its still about 300kb over the limit :S) I'll just stick to imgur I guess.
Z 6 | Nikkor 105mm f2.5 AIS at f16 or something
Z 6 | Nikkor 105mm f2.5 AIS | f4? Not sure. It's the sharpest of my modest MF lens collection though.

Raphael you have me inspired, but I have one question! I can clearly see your C3 but it's not showing up on my radar!!!
Also Capitan why does your exif show 92mm? Are you playing with settings for better effect?
From a recent car show!
Nice car colors Ken, love Anglias for some reason, little cars with big engines.
C3 is made of composite, stealth by nature like some vessels, EXIF is also meant to confuse the enemy. Same as your 70mm which does not exist in manual focus nikkors, in any case 92mm is longer.
- good capture of the boys! But the older they get, they will come back around to the first one
