Easter Parade or April's Fool, or whatever. Anything can happen when you put a really old lens on a modern camera, I suppose. In this case, the legendary Zeiss "Olympia" 180mm f/2.8 on my full-spectrum Nikon Z5. Using the Kolari 720nm clip-in filter I got the following result,

I believe she does ;D
Later on we talked about the day you both meet and the hug she gave you as soon as she saw you and our incredulous faces...that never happened before! Instant connection.

On March 27, 2026, the wall relief by artist Jan Dijker was officially unveiled at the bus platform of Tilburg Station. The artwork had disappeared from public space for over twenty years after demolishing of the original building. With a length of nearly eighty meters, the object is once again part of the streetscape in Tilburg.
Here a small part of this piece of art from 1957.

Years ago I remember an article in American Photographer magazine on a prominent New York wedding photographer who had all the lenses for his Hasselblad locked at 7 feet (2.1 meters) with set screws. That would seem to be the ultimate zone focus. Select your lens. Stand 7ft. (2.1m) from your subject and shoot. :)

I'd say it depends on the focal length but roughly 2 m is where I set the 28mm.
