Nice photo. Nice rendering, too, is it with the Nikon Z 40 f/2, or Voigtländer of any kind?

I generally find them too tender for our climate, unless you find the right spot.

Although the thought of bees being eaten saddens me.
It’s the name, actually they eat every insect that they can find
I do feel bad every time I see a bird eating other smaller bird, this is socking me and I realized it doing wildlife shooting.

Lens Talk / Re: Nikon AI 135 3,5
« Last post by MEPER on May 06, 2026, 15:45:54 »Yes, my QC version is cosmetic a "collectors item". As I don't case about AI I want those old F-Nikkors as original as possible :-) I like the old "hill and dale" aperture rings :-)
The D5200 could just mount them and in the Z-world AI does not matter. But on older film-bodies it matters.
The reason why my image example is only sharp but not "tack sharp" might be because image is taken at 1/200 with no IS/VR help.

What the Nerds Do / Re: Using Neweer NW-ETZ to get focus confirmation and correct IBIS
« Last post by Jürgen Pfeiffer on May 06, 2026, 11:24:27 »There are other methods to ensure that the correct aperture is displayed in the EXIF data. Beforehand, you should set the view mode to “Adjust for ease of viewing” in the camera’s custom settings, so that the viewfinder maintains a consistent brightness.
The methods, listed in order of increasing “clunkiness”.
Not too clunky:
Set the exposure compensation to -1 at f/8, to -2 at f/11 and to -3 at f/16 (nobody shoots at f/22 unless they have a large-format camera).
Quite clunky:
Set the camera to M shooting mode and meter the exposure at f/5.6. Then double the shutter speed at f/8, quadruple it at f/11 – you get the idea…
Definitely clunky and very old school:
