Those are some of my students. We were celebrating "Andalucia´s day" at school and had some time on our hands. The image layout and theme was proposed by them, I just choose the spot.

  "Take a picture of me jumping"

The purple crocuses next to the large pond in the park have appeared, and survived the frost at night.

Swedish ski tourists waiting for their return train back to Gothenburg.

Nikon Z5, Nikkor 28mm f/2.8 SE Z, IR 72 filter. This tiny lens is quite good in IR. A weak hot spot can be seen on occasion, but using a lens hood (not following the lens, by the way -- Nikon takes a penny-pinching attitude to this low-end lens?) ought to help. Not bothersome for this capture anyway.

Yesterday I purchased a Z30 with the Nikkor 28/2.8 SE Z (retro design). The reason for the 28 SE was to have an alternative wide lens for IR, the usefulness of which was confirmed, and for the Z30? A host for the Rodenstocks of course. I'm getting tired of cleaning the scratched sensor of my Z9, Z6, etc. when experimenting with the adaptations of these 50/0.75 speed monsters. A cheap Z30 would ease my mind and for a bargain price, not putting too much pressure on my wallet as well :)

My Mk.2 version of the Rodenstock adapter fits even the Z30 -- the fit is pretty tight though as the new version of the adapter is seated close to the camera body.  Using the 1:1 format (16x16mm) on the Z30 makes for an image without any dark or very smeared corners. Infinity focus is feasible too.

Not so much users and/or love for the versatile Z 24-200mm here on NG it seems. I like this lens, for my photography it's very much ok.

Here's an image shot at 200mm which is supposed to be the weakest performing focal length.

  I very much like the 24/70mm if this compares, it should be a useful range for travel, walking around and such. What is your intended use?
