I'll get this thread back on track with Nikkor on Nikon
This one from my weekly trip to southern Virginia. Df and 18mm f/4 Ai

George- I really miss the 18mm f4. It's one of the lenses I shouldn't have sold. I was using it on Sony and it had exactly that look, contrasty and saturated.

Ben so that you don't feel so bad here is a photo of mine.
Rafael - "So I don't feel so bad"?? I lament the loss of my 18mm and you post pics of two immaculate, pristine, absolutely impeccable18mms, with original lens caps, hoods and even the box.....what? to comfort me?? Yeah George and Samy, salt and lots of it. If I weren't already buying a 35mm LTM I'd be bidding on an 18mm as we speak.
Ben
Just trying to get you to commit the deed.
Rafael - I made a low offer on a Nikon S 35mm f2.5 rangefinder lens. The adapter is tiny for those on a Z7. It's in wonderful condition, not the pristine perfection of your lenses of course, but pretty good. Anyway, I made the offer last week thinking it was hopeless and I'd be outbid in a second but I woke up today and here I am, 300 euros poorer. So I'm probably not going to 'commit any more deeds' for a while. Now I have to buy the adapter.
Colin- is that how everyone is in London now, no masks, no social distancing? I can't go to Manchester without tests and a 14 day quarantine yet in London everyone's walking around like nothing is happening? The girl In the 5th photo has very prominent veins in her legs - is that an IR effect?
Ben
Ben,
The photographic evidence speaks for itself.
Normally on a nice day the Southbank would be rammed wall-to-wall with people. It wasn't.
London was as quiet as I have ever seen it.
The crowd you see were a bunch of bikers attending a BLM protest in Westminster.
Chances are the people sitting very close to one another will be partners.
It was near a food and beer kiosk. I have images from that vicinity that will make you cringe.
In the UK 2m means 1m to a lot of people and when the 2m rule becomes 1m (next week) then we will all be rubbing shoulders with each other again.
My wife and I walked the banks of the river for a good few hours and people were generally very good at keeping distance. Kids on bikes - well that's a different story.
Face masks are only mandatory on public transport. I would say less than 1% of people wore them in the streets.
Yes, IR glorifies veins and arteries close to the skin's surface on a warm day. Brings out tattoos too.
