I went to have lunch with a friend in a town a couple of hours away when I came up on this cool building (at least I think it's cool).
Nikon Z50ii, LTII, Nikkor-O.C 35/2
Imagine my surprise when I was putting together a camera kit to take with me today and I realized that I have 2 copies of the 35/2. One is the Nikkor-O and the other is the Nikkor-O.C. I don't know when or how I purchased a second copy, but I'll take it!

I agree it’s a cool dilapidated building, and your processing on the b&w is great

Peter, great stacks!
Samy, as you may remember, after years of looking for a 300mm 4.5 ED K I found one in pretty decent condition but the size and slower focusing make me take the EDIF instead. I thngk my next lens will be a 400mm 5.6 EDIF - Maybe 
Matt you have been showing a mastery of twilight recently.
Serge, that is one beautiful Creche!
George, very painting like image and colors on the 28mm forest.
Ross, that is one obedient Lion, to place herself so well in your composition!
Hang in there Laura.
Beautiful view of THE tree Serge.
Love your tree too fjablo.
High speed onto 2025 on that trolley, Regina!
Hope indeed James, it is the only life outcome we control.
Went to Balboa Park to see the rebuilt botanical building, a favorite of my circular fisheyes. Took the 7.5mm, the plan exhibits are not yet up to par, but the building is beautiful $26M of high grade woods.

Impressive woodwork! And your mastery of the fisheye in that setting is just as impressive!

I just love that first image! Really speaks to me.

First image post of 2025, wow how did we get here already?!
For me personally this photo is meaningful, I just uncovered it a few days ago as I have been going back and processing overlooked images from a 2012 Utah trip. Shot with the 135mm f/2.8 AI-S. This is the type of fall composition I still love to make today with my modern Sony system, but that old glass has come through beautifully. I’m looking forward to printing this one on my favorite Canson etching rag.
Stunning Ross!

thanks Samy, son is home recuperating, some pain, but nothing medication can't handle. I'm nervous about mine. Moggi did drink some water a little bit ago, and hopefully for now, is stabilizing, maybe just tummy upset. Cautiously ok for the night.

Laura hope your son's recovering well. Sorry to hear about your cat not doing so well, and all the best for the procedure next month.

Hmmm.. younger son had to have gallbladder removed on NYE, and I have my spinal fusion coming up in Feb, with an 8 pound lifting restriction afterwards... and I have a feeling that I'm losing a cat, Moggi, who Peter gave her name. She's the one that I went to pick up my pizza one night, and she was throwing herself against the window at a table of people. I gave her some pettings, went inside and picked up my order, came back out, few more pets, went to car and put my pizza in. Looked over at her, did the tsk tsk tsk and she came running over to me. So.. home with a pizza and a cat that night...
But otherwise, so far so good

That’s a pretty scene! Are all those reflections of the aperture?

Can someone help me identify this lens on my new camera?
Too funny, Jim 
Ross, I'm loving your photos of the Aspens. I don't think there is any prettier tree in the autumn.
Thank you! I agree about aspens, there light colored trunks add a great graphic quality. Similarly I enjoy photographing white birch and sycamore trunks.

Went back to Balboa Park on the first, this time with the 8mm 2.8. The 7.5mm is small and light and its imaging is adequate, but the 8mm 2.8 ais is a very different beast.
Sadly, the building was closed for the holiday.

Love your tree Rafael, and Ross I’m getting quite jealous of your aspens.
Thanks, Matt!

Ross - they are reflections - George has given me an idea which Ill use next time I have multiple filters on my lens.
Andy - thanks for the suggestion but no spots on unflitered images.
Ah, ok, filters are the culprit. I remember having that happen to me before.
