Lovely pictures there, Andy. Seems like you are managing well without the Lens Turbo so far.
Serge, XH-1's are now sold out. I'm safe now. I also have a camera stuck at Nikon Repairs for what's going to seem like an eternity with this Corvid situation. Waiting for spare parts.
Also working from home today. I don't enjoy it but it might soon be mandatory. On the plus side, I can step out for some fresh air/views. Dense fog in the morning, bright sunshine now.
Packages stuck in transit. I have a PB-4 bellows stuck in transit. I let the seller know that regardless how long it takes to get to me, I'll give him a 5 star rating for shipping because this is out of everyones control.
Being somewhat stuck at home actually is the only positive I see in this whole pandemonium. At least I had plenty of time to deep clean the house, put up the garden fence that has been lying around for almost a year now, and find time to spend with Anouk as well as start another knife build.
And that is only 3 days of "social isolation" as it is advertised here in Germany.
Taken with the D800 and 35mm f2 Nikkor-O. I missed focus but it started to rain and I still had to store all the gardening equipment as well as the high pressure cleaner

I used to like those 90s-00's Renault Twingos. So quirky. The newer ones look nothing like OG model.

Hello all, I used to post on this forum when I shot manual glass on my Nikon Df. I never quite bonded to that camera because of ergonomic issues. I did like the sensor though! Anyway, I'm back. With a Nikon Z6 which I like very much. And of course the EVF has benefits for shooting manual, using peaking and zoom.
This image was shot with my Z6 and Nikkor 105mm f2.5 AIs. Retro look done in post.
You might see more photos of my cats over the coming weeks given I will be working from home for the forseeble future. It has its challenges. The novelty wore off after a couple of days.
55/2.8 micro was on the camera and trying to keep a frisky 1 year old feline in focus was a hard task.
I liked the sunlight streaming in through the vertical blinds.

Looks like a very small 150mm lens, Samy.
Only a small rear lens in the back of the board Siphiwe. Its equivalent to somewhere around a normal focal length (50mm in our full format terms). This is the Nikkor-W lens. There's also a Nikkor-SW 150 f8, about 10+ times more expensive, and really meant for larger formats like 8X10.
Nikon stopped making large format lenses probably sometime in the 1990s. Very hard to find literature on them.
Interestingly the back of the Linhof board is marked "West Germany".

Stay safe Serge. Must be an older photo.
Thanks, Samy and you as well.
Most everything in the Big Apple is locked down but at least Central Park is open and beginning to get some nice colors. Hope to get some decent photos this weekend.
It seems like ages ago but it was taken 11-30-2019 when things in Italy were their fun normal self.
Let's hope the food hoarding mentality in the UK sorts itself out otherwise we might end up with ration books again.
This example, for petrol, from 1947 for vehicles between 1-9 horse power. 6 units a month.
I assume a unit would be 1 gallon. How things have changed. 9HP - what would you do with that Ken?

So far the hoarding here seems to be limited to tacos, beans and toilet paper. Now if those hoarders would eat less tacos with beans, the need for toilet paper would be drastically reduced and the problem would sort itself out
