Re: Manual Focus Nikon Glass


I haven't had time this week to process any photos for posting, but I sure have been enjoying the photos posted by others recently! Colin, that "lost garden" you found (see what I did there? ) makes a stunning IR shot, perhaps largely due to your excellent composition. Peter from Knysna, your monochrome church photo is also very nicely rendered.

The main reason I am posting today is to let you guys know that I now identify as "lens-gender." With some guidance from a fellow lens-gender member of the MFNG community, I have become the proud and extremely happy owner of a shiny new Fuji X-T2.

When I set out to add a Fuji to my stable of gear, I figured it would take a back seat to my D800E and be used only for a few specific functions. But after taking it out on a hike this evening to a local waterfall, this X-T2 has me smitten! My five-year affair with the D800E is under serious threat! The X-T2 is just a joy to use; it's lightweight, even with the vertical grip; it fits my hand so well that it feels like an extension of it; and it gets along extremely well with my MFNG, especially with the focus peaking. And to top it all off, it looks totally retro-sexy with its various knobs and dials! I have a focal reducer coming in the mail, so the Nikkors will soon regain something very close to their proper angle of view.


So if you hear reports of a person-shaped UFO over Vancouver Island, that'll be me, floating on air!
