6 years ago I sold my FM2 to Frank. And now this April I bought it back.
Great for Nikongear to join like-minded people around the globe.
The FM2 and X100V have place in a tiny 6L bag by PeakDesign.
I'm a happy camper - many thanks Frank :)

We had a light dusting of snow for a few hours today -- just a wanring that spring isn't really here yet. I stay indoors while recovering from the nasty Covid-19 incident, but putting a trusty Rodenstock 100/1.6 on the Z9 gave me a few pot shots nonetheless.

NX Studio 1.1.2 refuses to process the Z9 NEFs after the recent Z9 firmware update (2.0), and I'm not too keen on "updating" ("downgrading"?) to NX Studio 1.2 just to read these files. Photo Ninja (PN) as always comes to the rescue and blazed through the Z9 files like it had never done anything else all the time :) There is no built-in profile for Z9 yet in PN, but a Z fc profile gave quite reasonable rendition so that's what I'm going to use for now.

Thank you all for the nice comments on the last image I posted.
After more than a few days without shooting I took the d200 ir with the 18/70 and set out in a fury  :)

I'm planning of posting a few images, all taken with one camera, one lens, in one morning stroll

  D200 ir, 18-70mm 3.5-5.6

Excellent Paco !  :)

Are you still suffering, Birna?  Hope you get well soon.

Recovering more than "suffering", but the aftermath lingers on. A nasty business this Covid-19.

Manual stacking certainly seems suitable with a manual-focus lens :)

True, but also borne from necessity since photoshop will crash with an automated action to create a merge, probably cause running out of diskspace, down to 10%.

If you are using an SSD, 10% free space is really critical. ought to be 30-40% at least. Otherwise the drive will have excessive wear :(
