Now that wasn't too bad... though one of our "bad boys" played a few games with us using those empty posts... but I understand the reason when I saw that photo with all those gorgeous WIDE lenses. Love them Rafael.
Yes, Samy, this is how the thread should be moving. When Leighton shows up, how could it be otherwise? Of course, I'll take some of the blame as well. Then Chin shows up. We may be sheltering-in-place, whatever that means wherever you live, but that doesn't mean we have to ignore those friends who are INCAPABLE of infecting us with anything beyond Nikon Manual Focus Gear Acquisition Syndrome. It is not nearly as deadly as coronavirus but it certainly CAN be infectious...
Another photo of lenses is in order... AI-s from 85 to 135... another oldie but goodie.
I seem to be all over the place this weekend with lenses. This tonight with the 1000mm f/11 Reflex with TC-14B. So 1400mm equivalent.
Could have probably gotten a sharper image by not shooting at 1/100sec. But was a tradeoff for lower ISO. Especially using the TC. Maybe tomorrow night.

That may be... but the 200 f/1.8 he sold here was pretty much destroyed. The photos he posted of it for sale showed it as a pristine lens, the buyer rightfully went to "Forum & Misc" and showed what he received...

Raphael a brilliant move with your countdown. Worthy of an engineer and naval architect. You got 10 likes from me!
More from the archives. This from last years trip to Eureka Springs, Arkansas. Please note that the Grotto Shrine was dark and the shot at 1/8 sec at Auto ISO is 25600. Looks remarkable and speaks bundles for the Z6 since it was barely visible with the naked eye.
