On old Nikkor 24-120 3.5-5.6 VR/D810 combo.

True, indeed. Half of my life I spent to be the field cameraman. There was no service handily, so, if one wants to finish the project successfully, he/she must have advanced precise optical/mechanics skills, to fix everything what belongs to your professional duties. So, spring from the pen could be used to fix an old Leicaflex in Himalaya mountains,  and screws taken from  Russia-made tank's watch  were used to fix stacked 80-200 AF Nikkor. Separate novel could be written about fixing the filming cameras...  So on and on. Yeah, my experience on the field is somewhat unique. THX!  LZ

"nice pix, of the 11209! Whatever the lens."    I am not sure which one you mean, but thank you, anyway!   LZ

Hello! Been awhile since I've posted here. Anyway, "11209" is the Zip Code for the neighborhood you were photographing. I kinda recognized it, though don't recall ever seeing it during winter. Still, I thought I recognized a few buildings; came in tight on a couple of pix; had that eureka moment!
