I love #1 and #14. Thank you Francis & John!

I made a lot of decisions and did all the necessary things to make them happen. Now I am tired. I have to lay back and wait till the gras grows from the seeds.

D800 -- nikkor 400mm f/5.6 ED

[John Geerts]

Another grey day.

Different park, different Crocus. Same lens and now with the close up lens 6T but little effect on a 20mm of course.  The 20/2.8 AF is a fine lens, central sharpness is great, a bit soft corners wide open, little distortion,  some field curvature, but the real advantage with the 20/2.8  is the auto-focus and small and portable size. And the Df seems to like the lens     

Cut out the vignetting caused by the 6T.

Great sky, Akira.

Sweet and subtle, Fons.

[Akira]

Thanks, John.  The color of Fuji shines for this kind of motif.

[John Geerts]

Thanks Akira. Yes. I also have been playing around with the Hyper-Utility-V3 software, which seems a powerful tool for the Raw processing of the S5 RAF files.
