Akira, is that picture taken now? All this blooming pictures make me want spring, now! :)

Børge, I shot the picture yesterday.  We have entered into spring now, but the temperature is still going up and down.

Thanks, Armando.  I've used the lens on an FX body for the first time and found that the slight vignetting of the lens used wide open gave a nice "spotlight" effect.

Anirban, thanks!  D750 inspires me a lot.  It was calibrated at the Nikon service along with AF-S 50/1.8G, and not only the AF but also the "green dot" is very reliable now.
