Later, my friend Erik ['Dr. Lens'] appeared with the special-cut lens hood for my 19/4 PCE Nikkor and the 50/1.2 Nikkor, the latter once again restored to its former CPU glory. Kudos to Erik
Armed with the 50/1.2 and the special AFS extension ring Erik earlier gave me as a birthday present, I now could do something with the endearing dandelions springing up everywhere. I literally fell for this little bloom trying to make its impression on a nearby fence.
