Bicycles prevail everywhere as well. For the uninitiated being run over by a cyclist is an existential and real danger. Or one can enjoy all the signs of the bicycle dominance.

You can get around the problem with a USB3 cable and Nikon Transfer 2. A USB3 cable will cost a fraction on an XQD reader, it can be bought almost anywhere, you can download ViewNX-I from the Nikon Download center

You will need an A or C-type connector on computer side, and a micro-USB type B on the camera side. In the included photo, the usual A to μ-USB type B that's included with cameras

an impression from the Scheveningen beach. The vintage Panagor 21mm f/4 on my Z6. Stopped down all the way one gets lots of depth of field and a significant loss of sharpness. All as expected, but delivered with a gentle and well-rounded flair.

A wake up call to treat these Lanthars for what they are; A fragile extinct species  :o
The two guides #60 was bend severely but got the back into original shape, guide bushings checked and threads massaged into shape again, the aluminum tubes used for this lens are so thin it's a wonder it works at all,,,

Yes, Frank ! Safely arrived about 7:30pm at Petersfield train station.

A big thanks to Thomas for this nice trip at the foot of Eindhoven terminal !
Beautiful weather and no lorries on the motorway.

Very happy about this (too) short get-together, with the joy to see at the very end of the stay at Jakov's , our Dr Lens, aka Erik, fixing my legendary CV 125mm apo-lanthar coming back to life...and infinity.
Calm, precision of gestures, expertise, all ingredients  to complete this session of lens surgery, and some suspense  :o, few minutes before the time limit to leave toward Eindhoven airport...The audience (Thomas, Birna, jakov, and myself) was very quiet.
So I would rate Erik as a ''LENS WIZARD'' ! :) Thanks a lot, Erik ! ;).

Some images I want to share too  :)   
   It all started for me Friday evening with an excellent dinner with Thomas and Frank followed by a get together with NG Core at Jakov´s place. He is a most generous and attentive host. Thanks again for everything Jakov, Jakov, Jakov, and for all the new and very good music ( even if most at 4/4  ;D)
    We even get to  hear about the beginnigs of this place

Erik and I went further inland to the small city of Amersfoort today. Inclement weather, but nice surroundings however.

On a city canal we found the famous "Black Pearl" ... of more interest for me was the greenery in the river, which turned out to be the Blunt-fruited Water Star-wort Callitriche obtusangula. I was happy despite the weather. (for a while).

Very happy about this (too) short get-together, with the joy to see at the very end of the stay at Jakov's , our Dr Lens, aka Erik, fixing my legendary CV 125mm apo-lanthar coming back to life...and infinity.
Calm, precision of gestures, expertise, all ingredients  to complete this session of lens surgery, and some suspense  :o , few minutes before the time limit to leave toward Eindhoven airport...The audience (Thomas, Birna, jakov, and myself) was very quiet.
So I would rate Erik as a ''LENS WIZARD'' ! :) Thanks a lot, Erik ! ;) .

Of course, technical "progress" at Schipol really means something will go wrong. My standard airline (no names mentioned, none forgotten)  had set up a nice robotic baggage checking line, which died all of a sudden and created much chaos in the checking-in queues.

The repair tech manhandled the robotic units in a determined manner. After a [substantial] while order was restored. For now. Thus, what will happen when automation is brought to its next level, and even fewer human resources are available?

Paco, Paco a, Paco b, I am really impressed by the images that you have displayed. To paraphrase Birna, not only are they technically great, they are different to each other and pleasant to the eye. Great vision and execution!
  Thank you, you have me blushing here.

I have lost my driver license.  As I don't need it regularly I discovered it only yesterday.  There is a possibility I might have lost it somewhere in Den Haag.  Has someone notice a pink drivers license Saturday?

I let my imagination stretch out as to the title of reply #162 (You're in the army Now)

Maybe a line-up of soldiers being shouted at by the sarge, with Martine side-by side with the sarge...

Sunday, as already stated, we went to Vivek´s house. There is no more gracious and generous host.
   In the way there Frank and I met Peter and he let me try the Milvus 135 f2  :o on the Z6. Impressive. Here two portraits at f4 and f2 respectively:
   Guess how took the 3rd image with my camera (hint, no lens)
   Guess who took 4rd (hint, a bit blurry  ;D )
    And an induced uv? to wrap it up
   

   P.E.: I got a 35mm 2.8 AI from Peter but first test will be shown in another thread

I did the photowalk with the samyang 14mm t3.1 but i returned it today didnt meet my critiria it was either sharp the first 2 meters or near infinity, couldnt get the depth of field i wanted.
Where distortion was huge correcting was no option for losing edge definition. Also quite susceptible to backlight.

Nice thread. It's fun to put faces to some more of of the NG names - it would have been nice to join the gathering.  Also, before it disappears up the page and gets lost in the the thread I want to compliment John Geerts' photo: 2019-11-09-winkelstraat-Den-Haag.jpg, with the dark edges and the city dissolving behind the pedestrians.  I find it very striking. For reasons I'm not sure I can pinpoint - perhaps the strength of the separation between the subjects and everything else in the photo - it immediately caught my attention.  Cheers, John
