Even inside your work this one has extra care and details. The images too, with extra points for fun and interest. Superb use in the night shots.

  Thanks a lot for sharring it!

Thanks -- again -- for a well redacted in-depth review and tear-down article. The 5cm f/1.1 Nikkor is an excellent lens for IR for which its 'dreamy' nature truly comes to the photographer's assistance.

Oh? I wasn't expecting that :o :o :o

Speaking of IR, I wanted to make an experiment to see if I could shoot through clothes ::)

As to showing what's under clothes, that is less easy than most people think. Girls should be thankful for that :) Wet clothes would be required in most cases.

Impressive work, as always, Rick!

If I remember correctly, you even made a damaged aperture blade on your own in the past (for another S-Nikkor lens, I guess), which remains the most impressive one of all your repair work to me.

Thank you, I'm actually surprised that people read my article, even the bullshit stories that I write on top :o :o :o
I have heard a few people messaging me that those are the only things that they look forward to ::)
