Nikon F4s

I loved her body for many years. What a great camera! Thanks for bringing back memories.

Obvious he wasn't. But I let the matter rest there.

I have shoot enough with these ultra long lenses to know what they require in terms of support.
I must give Andy the nod in this case. I understood Andy's post in such a what that all lenses presented, including whatever camera the woman is holding, is capable of 1200mm.

Added: My comment was just a silly one, the only clue I have as to how much support is needed, is from what Bjørn and others have written here.

This is a unexpected shot :

This flying creature landed while I was shooting inside home in summer.

Even more unexpected as the closest waters are about a mile away... :)

Is that the 180/2.8 ED Nikkor? Very lucky indeed to have this micro helicopter so precisely positioned on your gear ....

A summing-up image from a recent article I wrote about 24-70 mm f/2.8 lenses for Nikon and Canon. Besides the brand native lenses I included Tamron 24-70/2.8 VC and the Sigma 24-70/2.8. Appointing an overall winner was not easy as each lens had its weak and strong points. However, seen as a whole, the native lenses did ever so slightly perform better than the third-party offerings, albeit margins were narrow. Factor price into the equation and the ranking might be different too.

I might try to do an effort and translate that article written in Norwegian into (pseudo-)English?

It was the 180mm indeed. I sold it since then.

Yes, lucky as this dragonfly landed on the rubber ring . Its wings were trembling. That happened already with butterfly. Perhaps they have this behavior at the end of their life. I got this picture end of august. 

Tried to catch it carefully, but it flew away as it came.

A tree-boring wasp in the proper colour attire for a Nikon ... (the bug just landed and I snapped its picture - then it was gone with the wind. Image used in an advertising campaign by the way)

A  Nikon Df with suggestions for a basic lens kit. On the wide side: 24 mm f/2 Nikkor AIS or 28 mm f/2 AI. For the long end: 85 mm f/1.8 Nikkor-H (K, modified to AI)  and the 105 mm f/2.5 Nikkor AI. Mix and match as required.

All of these CPU-modified for maximum compatibility with modern Nikons including the Df.

One more F4 mounted with the meaty nikkor H 85mm f/1.8. I love its shape like pear.

This camera was my first (and only) film Nikon cam.
