More from Varanasi along the waterfront of The River Ganges. Varanasi apparently the place with the longest continuous settlement on Earth for thousands of years
Maybe not too exciting for most, because it's not Nikon Z related, but.... I bought a Nikon D800 body with less then 18000 clicks on it.
If all goes well, I will be back here, posting photos soon, which is something I have now looked forward to for well over a year.
The best part is, I had to sell 0 lenses to get this done, with a budget of next to nothing. But next to nothing is a little more then nothing at all, so patience paid off. Happy to be back

Nice to see you back Buddy. My D800 is still going strong after 50k exposures. I wont change camera it until it's dead.

I absolutely love my D800, it pairs well with my Df and D200 cameras. Wouldn't get rid of it, the prints from that camera are amazing.

My kit is D3, D800, D810, Z6. All are great and different, none are leaving. The best images are from the D800 and D810 and I cannot tell the difference in the photos.

Welcome. Amazing how a camera how many years removed is still that good.
What is your winter project? Or summer project for everyone in the Southern Hemisphere
I finished up my large format clean, lube and adjustments last night. Even though the bellows on my camera seemed to be light tight, they were in rough shape in a few places and were sticky after being collapsed in the storage position. So I decided to go ahead and strip the camera down, give it a good cleaning and replace the bellows.
I went with dark red bellow exterior vs black because, well, I liked the red/black combination better and was able to purchase in the US with quick delivery
The shots below are with the medium format 6x9 sliding back attached. Called a sliding back, because you actually replace the 4x5 back with this one and it has its own 6x9 view screen. So you position the back, compose, focus, etc through the viewfinder, then "slide" the 6x9 120 film holder down into shooting position.
It was a fun January project, now just waiting for good weather to go out and shoot properly. And yes, rain is forecasted again this coming weekend.
