Yes, back in the 80’s this lens was John Shaw’s goto and a dream telephoto for most of us wildlife photographers.
BTW Ross, I will take this time to say it: Like many others, I have admired your landscapes for a long time now. You are one of our very best landscape photographers

Robert, thank you sincerely for that encouraging word! I feel blessed to be pursuing my true passion for many years, thanks to my wonderful wife who has been a big supporter of my photography since we were in high school ❤️
Ah yes, the great John Shaw. I always loved reading about his thoughts on various Nikon gear, and I think I still have one of his nature photography books.

Glad to see you here, Patrick, and shooting old Nikkor glass! Big fan of your black & white work. I’ve recently added a set of old Nikkors and have been revisiting images I made with AI-S lenses a dozen years ago. They still shoot beautifully, and the feel in hand adds much to the process. I’ve often wished there was a 45 to 60mp Nikon mirrorless body that was traditionally shaped with the DSLR thickness so that no adapter was required for F mount lenses, as the adapter slightly detracts from the aesthetic for me, but I know that will never happen. In the meantime I just added an FM2 so I can get that classic experience. I may eventually add a Df back into the mix, but when I owned one before I did not gel with it.
