Yes, BR transitioned some time ago and is now Birna Rørslett. And no, the naturfotograf.com is no longer actively maintained (as it states on the landing page), but remains in archived form with lots of useful info there for all to peruse. She is quite active on the nikongear.net site, still giving cantankerous but wise advice. I was always jealous of how many amazing lenses BR was able to purchase at low prices (especially given how much camera gear normally costs in expensive Norway), such as a NOS Fisheye-Nikkor 10/5.6 OP that he got from the local Nikon distributor who discovered it on a shelf in some back room and sold for relative peanuts. BR's opinions heavily shaped my Nikkor purchases and has never steered me wrong (though I don't agree with the hatred of built-in lens hoods!).
