Have I ever said that I love the 45P on the Df?
The Df is so much cooler with a pancake :)

I don't care if you shot it with the 200 f/2, this is freaking awesome!

That is the International Court of Justice, also known as the Peace Palace in the background.
Thanks Hans!
I did want to express the lovely bokeh of the 45P :)
And I am so sorry I don't have the 200/2  :'(

I wanted to post these in Hans Cremers thread natural close-ups in an urban environment.
As you can see my photo are so blurry that nothing urban was visible so I decided to post them here since a Df was used :)

Doesn't matter in which post, Jakov. Lovely as always. I think you have a definite own style with these "out-of-focus" images. Great stuff.

Thank you Hans so much. My ego says that it's nice to hear that I have a definite own style :)

Elsa, I knew that you would be seduced eventually :)

Some uncropped handheld test-shots with the Nikkor AF 200 F/4 Micro

The bokeh of this lens is very special.

As mine did too !

Actually, it didn't come off, but just sliding toward right side, which is good news : At least, i do not lose it... :P

So, we have to find the right glue ! ;)

Same thing happened.. I do hold it for long times in hot summers ! I didn't loose it it just started slipping. The Nikon shop in Paris replaced it in a short time with a brand new one :-)
But I did have to get a new eye piece as I definitely  lost it somewhere !

Rubber and eyepiece are definitely a problem, albeit a mild one. Note that I use a DK-17M in addition. Fell twice on the (fortunately soft) ground, now I am careful and check its tightness.
