Sorry, my misread. Any mf nikkor lens attched to other body out of Nikon accepted.
Thanks for the reminder, I will replace photo posted accordingly, truly produced by ais lenses.

Here are a couple bokeh-test shots with a 5.8cm f/1.4 made in 1961. It's got a lovely swirly texture in the OOF areas, especially with shiny things, and is surprisingly and pleasingly sharp in the middle, wide open.
My favorite lens, focal length. Enjoy, this lens is a winner!
Walking with a different MF lens each evening now... here's one captured with the 25-50mm f4 ai-s, metered for the very bright sun... the ripples in the sand caught my eye

^^^ the last three posts are just too beautiful, just reminds me why I love this time of year!
on another note, I got really bored with using my pixel to take photos while hiking with Tuki so I wanted something else that was light and didnt mind getting beat up while out in the woods. I found a D80 and a Nikon Series E 50mm F/1.8 at the local camera store for $75 bucks. D80 has 6700 clicks, looks brand new as well as the nifty fifty...
Of course I had to see if it passed the Tuki test...so far I love it!
Thanks Ray and Ken, I like that style, especially on a wet grey morning. Not much else to work with. Serge, I like the work in Central Park. I lived there for almost 10 years and never discovered them till late. Imagine I’d be there every weekend and fall if I lived there now.
Several of you are making me miss the 25-50 too. I’m guessing it handles well on the Df? Any input on that camera in particular? What Non-CPU do you set?
The geese are accustomed to getting snacks so most are not too shy. This chap strolled out of the water and came darn close looking for a handout. It was a good thing as had just swapped the SC 50 for the 28.
The 25-50 f/4 AIs looks to be a great lens and very useful zoom range.

Thank you, Mathieu. It is a beautiful and relaxing area which I frequent as much as possible. A big plus is that the northern part of the park is way less touristy.
