Erik's new 45/2.8 GN is splendidly portrayed with assistance of the Sigma fish. :D

Erik of course CPU-modified the GN in the late evening hours, and now is doing an AI conversion and CPU-upgrade on the 24/2.8 I purchased concomitantly in Delft.

Comrade Erik, captured by the just modified 24/2.8 NC Nikkor. For me, an unbelievable time travel back to the late '60s, when I shot the very same lens design on my Nikon F. What changed over all this time? Only the 'D' as in Nikon Df. (and being at comrade Jakov's place, of course).

One simply has to love the colourful details seen everywhere in The Hague.

I thoroughly enjoyed the company of my comrades in the past few days.
Today was a lovely sunny day and my Sigma 8mm f/3.5 circular fish-eye was once a gain a joy to use!

Birna, so the Bride rides a bike to the Wedding???  I've always said weddings are getting over the top expensive  :) .   A lovely image. Love the muted, but vibrant, colours and composition.

Wonderful images! Here are a couple of my impressions of and with the Nikkor 45mm f/2.8 GN,,,  8) The rendering is smooth and with interesting Bokeh wide open, completely lacking CA or fringing! It's quite useful and at the limit of what one can actually operate,,, The AiP version is simply to tiny for me to operate safely.

Oh, Delft is, along with Barcelona, one of the cities I want to visit.  The birth place of Jan Vermeer...

Jakov, thank you for the post!
