Copenhagen Calling - The Aftermath

[Bjørn Rørslett]

After a very long day doing all sorts of CPU modification jobs, now is the time to try the new gear in the wild. Erik and I scouted around Copenhagen both eager to get hands-on experience with the new stuff. Erik had his recently acquired Nikon D810 and I had amongst others a a new CPU-modified APO-Lanthar 125 and the AI'd Nikkor 35/2.8 'K' from yesterday.

A first try with the APO-Lanthar looked good indeed (Zebra pattern) and so did the 35/2.8K. In fact, the latter showed remarkably low chromatic aberration and had excellent sharpness so might turn out to be a winner for a small walk-around kit lens.

So far really happy with the D810, here with the 24mm 1.4 G

The Winter Aconite Eranthis hyemalis in its natural habitat, the floor of an open rich deciduous forest.

I borrowed Erik's AFD Fisheye 16/2.8 and removed the rear filter to get a little bit closer to the endearing yellow flowers.

Amazing shot with the Fish!

Looks like you two had a marvellous time lLove the flower shot even though my first probably is a couple of months away. If you dont count Tysbast and Hazel as flowers

[Bjørn Rørslett]

Daphne and Corylus count as flowers. No doubt.

Erik, did you swap the D3X for the D810 or have you kept both?
Which do you prefer?

Lovely images

[Erik Lund]

Thanks
Well yes, I have upgraded

I focused (sic) on the spring flowers instead. Here a nice bundle of Snowdrops Galanthus nivalis in their natural habitat.

Kopenhagen is a great place to be. Ive been the in 1994 on invitation of the DTU Students Radio. We had a great time. I was still on film and only took a few rolls, but I really enjoyed it a lot.

The most special thing when you come from Gemany were

1) the bakeries open nearly all day & night with a great selection of sweet bread and smaller sweet things
2) The first people I ever saw to use a mobile phone on a bicycle, two things very common in 1994 in København


PS: Super Photos. The very first is special to me and the Farmhouse in #10

Super photo's.

The 85 K  really shines on the Df
