Lots of lovely color on this page but I decided to kill the color in this portrait orientation view of Edinburgh Castle taken from the steps of The Vennel.
The clouds had rolled in again and the very short lived blue hour had gone by the time I took this.
I thought b&w added to the damp moody scene.
Thanks George. I was in Scotland to go see my father in the nursing home. I took a detour to Edinburgh drop off a book at the National archive. The hand written notes were dated 1737-1756 and bound in a leather cover. The notes were from church sessions. An interesting piece of social history that will now be preserved and catalogued. I found the book in my father’s house during the clear out. Could have easily ended up in the trash.......
I took a couple of pics which I will share later.

Outstanding shot Colin! Love your b/w images.
George, love the treatment on that darkish up-close rose shot.
Rafael, your 50mm f1.4 SC post would have made me pick up the one on the board right now, if I have not already put myself on a gear moratorium for the time being.

It's been (quite) a while since I've posted to this thread, so thought I'd start by going meta and sharing a couple of pictures of my current fleet of Nikkor Ai(s) lenses, shot as a focus stack of 20 images taken with my D850 + 60mm f/2.8G and composted in Helicon Focus.
I think I need to add a couple more to help the composition. Perhaps a 35mm f/1.4 Ais?

Had to look it up, but definitely not Chinese Mulberry. Probably some kind of Honeysuckle. 100% crop below, anyone care to identify it?
Nikon F5, 50th anniversary model. Has a titanium top and the vintage Nikon logo. Sporting a 180 2.8 P Nikkor lens (AI'd). Taken with the Z6 and original Nikkor 10.5cm f2.5 P.
So Steve, this is Nikon on Nikon with Nikon on Nikon
That looks about right, George. The location is by the Maumee River which covers quite a large watershed, and floods enough that this area is overrun at times, likely accounting for this intruder.
More fall color, last of the shots from that one day at the downtown Metropark. 180mm f2.8 AIS.

If we only had an F mount digital with hybrid viewfinder in that exact form factor and I would be done

Ahhh, the F5. Having never owned a single digit D, the F5 was the most robust camera body I ever had, great memories, though I never really used it at high frame rates that much. Just loved the 100% viewfinder, the controls, and the AF (was incredible back then) and just great all around handling. Was probably more robust than the F3HP that I also owned for awhile. Thanks for bringing back the memories Samy.
*edit - might have to protest that lens cap though
I don't know about the "done" part George But yes, it is a fun body. The camera's been out and about a couple of times, now need to wait a week or two to get scans back. Tried getting some Comic Con characters outside their convention this weekend on Kodak 400 and the 180 2.8P, curious to see how the snaps turn out.
