A reworked pano from 2016 taken with the 28-45 Zoom. I find DXO Photo lab 3 a superb raw converter and it slots in perfectly with PS Elements 12 and the Nik collection

You must live in FLA or thereabouts. My rule in CA is 50.
The 18mm arrived!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this 18mm 4.0 is new!!! I will show photos of the lens this weekend.
It has the rendition that goes perfect with me and it is sharp all over, except corners, at 4.0. Has some field curvature, which I like and use to my advantage.
Time to update the "family" shot, last time was 2016!
No place for "plastic fantastic" here.
Not the best background but anyway all lenses together. I used for the first shot a battered MF 70-210/4E, just have it for using as a handy monocular 7-21x zoom with the Nikon lens scope converter.

2nd row:
TC-301; 3 TC-16A, 2 modified (for semi-AF in newer DSLRs), 1 unmodified (for MF only).
Side views of individual rows. Same sequence, except by 3rd row, changed position of the 75-150E with 500/8 reflex.
1st (top) row with Nikon 70-210mm f/4E @ 70mm; ISO 1600, f/4 at 1/160s. 3 shots pano.
All others rows with Nikkor 50mm f/1.2 @ f/2.8, ISO 500 at 1/125s, single shots.
I supposed I have the collection done. The last lens I need is that horrible unsharp, outdated (no VR, no Nano !!) and paper weight that both Chuong and Rafael have and both refuse to sell
The 15/5.6 QDC...
Jose! The 300 4.5 and 400 5.6 ED non IF. May be a good QDC trade. Have you sought counseling for your addiction?
Ps. After the 18mm 4 I will never buy another lens. !!!! asiostygius wrote:

Jose, that's an impressive collection. I have a 28 3.5 PC that could fill a hole if you're interested

No way Rafael, both 300 & 400 ED non-IF are among the most sharp lenses in my collection. Anyway, good attempt
