In previous discussions about the 25-50, it was determined that setting it as a 50 f/4 worked best

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 winter doldrums for shooting has set in, now just processing until the snow flies, or we get some nice atmospheric light. This one from last weekend, 135 f3.5 Q. Or I go to the museums.

I use 50mm also on the 25-50. Somewhere along the way I learned that using the highest FL was best and followed that on MF zooms. I am curious to see if YMMV.
Unsuspecting participant in a test of the 8.5cm 1.5 S-mount lens on Z6. The lens does not feel quite stable on the adapter, waiting for a different adapter before I will venture out with this lens on the Z.
Here is blasphemy: a non-nikkor lens photo, I have few non nikkor lenses, one is a Perkin Elmer solid cat 800mm f11, don't really use it but wanted to try and compare to the 800mm 5.6 ED IF, but there is really no comparison, pleasing image for the solid cat rendition but sharpness does not compare at all.

Ken, cool night scenes with the 58. That sure did fish out Reagan from the shadows. Have you pre-ordered the 0.95 version?
Probably not since its way to big to carry and to finicky to use without a tripod. I’m a loyal Nikon junkie and it beats the heck out of me why they produced such a large, weighty an unwieldy lens. The 58mm 1.2 was and is their apex lens. I guess they couldn’t improve it !
Clouds cleared just enough to grab a shot of the Mercury transit today (the little black dot is Mercury). Was hoping to have clear skies to get a composite of the whole event but am happy with the one
Next chance here is 2032. Will try again then
Reflex-Nikkor 1000mm f/11
Thought I would post a shot of the set up too. Haven't had a gear shot lately.
The oaks were just beginning to turn.
