These fisheyes were designed as fix-focus. Now I can focus to infinity or as close as the front element.

I see. That's neat!

Great looking classic Volvo, Fons. Nice processing also. Looks better than my Volvo XC40 which btw is to be replaced in November by a Kia EV.

Helleborus cultivar.

A rare spring day in Oklahoma, USA: minimal wind. Despite appearances this plant prefers shade.
It is surrounded by post oaks (Quercus Stellata) that won't begin to leaf out for another week or two.

En route to a dental appointment this morning, I noticed her bright orange nails and she noticed my red hair. So we both smiled and snapped a picture :)

The Vltrox lenses are really good. Not perfect, but great value for their rather modest selling price. The added bonus is they are small and neat, a description one would never use for the equivalent Z Nikkors :( The beefy Z9 and the small lens makes for excellent handling of the combo. My suspicion is that the AF speed of the Viltrox is enhanced on the Z9, compared to the Z fc for which I purchased them in the first place.

Viltrox just released a 13mm f/1.4 AF for the Fuji system and I'm eagerly awaiting its likely future launch as a Z lens.

Of course having a DX lens on the FX Z9 shrinks the file size substantially, but there are still plenty of pixels left.
