Camera Talk / Re: information Nikon F2T

Oops, I forgot the F2 Data. Estimates of the number of cameras made vary wildly, but everyone agrees this is a very rare version. It contains the most unbelievable goodies like a tiny Nikon analogue clock, a device for manually setting the shooting date (with Y2K bug built-in ...), and to top it all, a small note board you could annotate by hand. The note board was inserted from the rear of the camera and though ingenious arrangements, the board, the clock, and the date unit, all were flashed onto a section of the film frame. The flash worked from the rear too, and the film was protected from the flash by a small rectangular metal clip discreetly inserted into the film gate itself. As the data back made the camera rather unwieldy, most users (yours truly inclusive) added a motor pack to bring up the heft of the package even further !! however handling improved.

A tally showed 7 F2 bodies(1 'T,' 1 Panda, 5 black) with a total of 11 finders. Finders are DE-1, DE-1(T), 6X loupe (x2), Action (carried over from the original owner, an F; it fits both models), DP-1, DP-2+ DS-1 Auto Exposure attachment, DP-3, DP-11 (x2), DP-12. Not sure how all these should be presented here, if at all? Makes me look like a collector :).
I'm pretty sure most would assume that all those bodies and finders were "used in anger" based on your extensive photographic output over the decades.  Sometimes collections "happen", which was the case for my pretty much complete set of F3 accessories:  I kept tripping over great deals on F3 accessories (including the useless-to-me MK-1 firing-rate convertor), so picked them up to try out.  Now that I'm shooting mostly digital with my Df, and my only active film-camera is a Plaubel Makina 670, my F3/T "collection" is just that to some extent.  I still find those F3 finders I bought back in the 90's to be useful pieces of kit, and even the MK-1 is an amazing example of Nikon build-quality.  Would I buy all that equipment I currently own today?  Probably not, but when I bought them, I really thought I would use them!

Very interesting landscape features, for sure.

Isn't the 16-50/2.8 on the big and heavy side for a Z50-type camera?

The landscape captured in the last one looks very peculiar.  Thank you for sharing!

How do you like the Z 16-50/2.8 zoom?

There is a difference between an interesting photograph and a photograph of something interesting, but I agree that one of the reasons photography is interesting is the inexhaustible specialness of the world.

Without natural phenomena, like these, there'd be no photography.

Most snail species are hermaphrodic - so I would guess that they all "got lucky".  ;D

This afternoon I was in the countryside looking for insects, and I saw that tower of snails, they must be acrobatic snails. D200
