I'm a big fan of the 28mm lenses as well. 35mm simply never struck my fancy. I eventually bought the 35 f/1.4 AI-s that at the time was being touted by Gregory, Nikkor AIS who was definitely a character. But it never warmed my heart. I later bought the 35 f/2 O AI as part of m pre-AI adventure. Again, I was more drawn to 28mm.
That said, I was always a fan of Philippe's work with the 20 f2.8 AI-s. He may no longer be a big fan of the lens as he tastes other manufacturer's lenses, but even at the beginning of his time on this thread he was using the lens in very distinctive ways. I'm glad you've kept the lens Philippe, if only because it permits you to drop in here from time to time to share your more recent street work, which is very distinctive and evocative.
Philippe also started with a D90 shooting at ground level quite a bit
I asked him once why he didn't do that anymore and said age had caught up to him
Thank goodness for tilt screens now

That's what I was remembering too Reagan. I'd forgotten about the D90, and, you're right, of course, the newer cameras are offering the tilted screen which gives us so much flexibility. That in itself might motivate me toward the Z6 or possibly even the Z7. I'm not nearly as agile as I once was. I may be able to hike 6 and a half miles as I did yesterday, but finding a place to take a break and then get up again is never easy. I found a few rocks and large fallen trees, but the last thing I was going to do was sit on the ground...
I'd forgotten too.... Regan is right, I'm getting old....
