Huss, You are making me regret selling a mint Nikonos V with 35mm f2.5 lens on ebay a few years ago. I should have known it would work fine on dry land. Just in the last few days I came across some unused film, and the only film camera I have left is an old Argus.

How badly do you regret selling that camera and lens, Jim? Badly enough to replace them?

For today's contribution, I offer you some vegetation (that green stuff that returns in the spring) from Big Qualicum River at the beginning of October, brought to you by my D800E with the 105 f/2.8 micro Ai-s and TC-16A (and weird lens ID in EXIF data) (first and fourth images), the 28 f/2 N (second photo), and the 105 f/1.8 Ai-s (third photo).


Great work Scott. I like all four of them.

20mm f3.5 AI action. My contacts dried out some and affected my ability to check focus carefully. Thanks goodness for these old full feature lenses; stop down, use the focus distance and DOF markings.


Didn't know contacts could dry out. Can you feel it when it happens? What do you do then?


Add some drops. I have it particularly bad according to my doctor, my eyes are abnormally dry, does not happen to most people. It was really cold and dry and I was outdoor for about 5 hours in single digit temps, that probably made it worse. I tried blinking and tearing up but not to much avail. Forgot to bring my drops.
