Andy, I've learnt so much about India through your series. Another wonderful set.
George, I really convinced myself I neither need nor want the Z6 but here you are sowing seeds of doubt. Df is more me but that's even more out of reach. The MF 35 1.4's can draw a nice picture but I find them rarely talked about. I think Rafael also uses one fairly often on the Cruising Grand photos. I enjoy pictures from them with the Z6.

This thread will definitely stir up temptations into other gear
I actually had the Df but sold it to get the Z6. I loved the style and manual controls of the Df body no doubt, but ultimately the tilt screen, IBIS and manual focus capabilities of the Z won me over. Only because I shoot 95% manual focus glass. And if I want that old school body, I can always throw a roll of film in my old FM (my first Nikon).
You are sharing some great images with the D5500 too. Like they say, it is not the equipment, but the person using it . So don't let what you currently have be a limit.
Good idea on the train, George.
Wonderful pan, Phong. What is the load on the wagon?
Another educational India series, Andy. Beatles and India, what will I learn next?
Next time I visit an air museum I've got to try a 50/55mm, Scott. Like the perspectives, I usually find myself below 28mm to squeeze it in or above 105 to pick up details.
Art, Education and Science collide, should collide more often. Thanks for sharing Jay.
Pair of early morning shots, no luck trying to jump into the cloud series a couple of pages back. Both with the 24mm f2.8 AIS.

Thanks George. I do enjoy using the little D5500. The 135 is very compact and complements the body nicely which makes for a good shooting experience for the type of subjects I shoot. I'm looking for something wider now(e.g. an AI/AI-S 24mm) to fill a spot in the bag, though I make no promises to not get something else later. Price of admission to MF makes the lenses a bit more accessible than latest lenses.
You might like the 28 f/2 then. Somehow I managed to have two of them

Lead me not into temptation now, Laura. You see, even if I had a 28 I'll still be 'GASing' for a 24mm. I find that to work better for dual use on FX and DX and strangely I use 24mm far more on DX than I use 35mm on FX. Kind of weird as the angle of view is almost the same.
