Ross, impressive moon photo considering you had a 2x teleconverter on!! I have never gotten hold of a 400 3.5 Nikkor. There's a lot of glass in the front, does that get awkward to handhold?

James and Ross, nice captures of the kitties.

Kevin, enjoy the new toy., it is a great looking camera.

Jubilee 2025 final touches at the Fountain of the Pantheon ( late 16th century). The photo was taken through a heavy plastic protective covering.





The finished product on day one after several months of restoration, amazing before and after difference. It was a close call, the area was cleared of materials and equipment the day prior to our departure.





X-E1 + 28/2.8 AIs

That 2nd shot is a lovely travel image Serge, perfect time of evening you captured

Samy, how cool you were developing E6 at home. When I worked at a newspaper we used a big Wing Lynch motorized machine and that made it pretty easy.

A little something different for me. I will be the first to admit I am not a bird photographer. Tried a few times and failed miserably

But I heard a large flock of geese fly over this morning and thought they landed on a nearby pond. They didn't

But I decided to take a walk down there anyway and needed a good arm workout so I took the 200/2 lens. Foggy morning and low light, but came away with this one of our neighborhood Blue Heron out for his morning fishing.

Handheld. Thank goodness for focus peaking and VR

Very nice George, the reflection adds a lot of beauty.

This is a mundane moon shot, but what makes it interesting to me is the quality the 400mm f/3.5 AI-S maintained with the TC301 2x converter attached.



I wish I could remember how it handles but it’s been too long. I remember testing it out and a tripod but it appears I did not keep it very long.
