I guess, I live in Tokyo, I think the exchange rate to US is between 105 and 110 yen per US$...
 Yes... 95,000 yen...  Well, I guess $850... but that includes 10% sales tax here in Japan.

Yeah, I was really surprised that the lens had an FTZ attached to it... With a modern style lens cap on the bayonet.
When I contacted the seller it was clear they apparently didn't intend to sell it to me, because when I mentioned it they just replied, "kekkou desu" which means, "c'est la vie"... or "oh well" or just "no worries."  basically resignation.

They just said that they had a seller come into their shop saying they were moving away from Nikon to medium format, so were selling everything.. probably got a whole bunch of nearly new stuff super cheap.

shrug.

I guess the shop just didn't detach the lens at the correct place. LOL.

That’s lovely. Was there much post processing?

Thanks.

Very limited. The files from the 58g and D4S are so good. There is a small adaption on the frame  and also a small curve and highlight correction.  (Profiles stuff is disabled)

Neo noct full throttle on the Z9. Iso 800 gives a perfect amount of grain for my taste in portraits. Natural diffused light in the forest´s shadow. Small crop to taste 4/3 ratio. Local adjustments to lighten the face.
