I like that first shot a lot!

I hope to get some time this upcoming weekend to shoot again, maybe even a little on Thursday. I guess I am not the only one who is run off my feet around here.

And now for something completely different [reposted from Alt>ZF/ZE/ZM thread]:

My latest experiment. This is an LF-look-alike image made with 4 rows of 10 vertical shots with the 200/2 VR on a D3. I used the 200/2 to get the narrowest depth of field possible at some distance (curtain of sharpness in front of blur). I have also, at great effort, manually resized and sharpened in Photoshop, so I am interested in comments about that too. Too bad that spring isn't more advanced, to make a more beautiful shot, but I can easily go back, and will.

Anecdotally, the originals aren't all that sharp, so I really need to go back and examine the lens/camera combo and my long lens technique. This is not the first time recently that I have gotten images less sharp than expected. I suspect my technique. There is more than enough resolution for such a heavily downsized copy, thankfully.

Oh, I also got my 30" monitor working with my laptop, so I am posting this in 1200 pixel width. I won't do that in general, but I think this shot needs it (at least).

How much is the focusing speed affected by a 1.4 TC on the 200/2.0 VRII?

TC14 is minimal difference in AF speed. Or lets put it this way, AF speed still faster than the 70-200. At least in my experience. With NO tc attached it's easily one of the fastest focusing lenses nikon offers. With the Nikon TC20e III it is a noticeable difference but still very acceptable.

Due to the overwhelming reaction last time, I have decided to post another 200/2 VR panorama I meant to make an HDR, due to the extreme light, but decided that I liked one exposure in the series, and stuck with that. This time I had even less time to make the shot, but there were no people where I was shooting, so it took less time:
