Some of the results that we see from architects are simply "because they can", without regard to taste. That has been confirmed to me by a successful architect that we both know....

Here in Arizona, we have examples from Frank Lloyd Wright. an architect that has enjoyed many accolades over some of his designs. While I have nothing against Wright, his design of the Gammage Auditorium is a yawner IMO. I don't see anything particularly wrong with it, except that I don't like that look.  ;)

Frank Lloyd Wright was one of the most famous foreign architect in Japan due to his design for the (now demolished) Imperial Hotel.  Its design was not bad, but the Gammage Auditorium looks like a not-so-nice copy of Colosseo in Rome...

Nice action, Bent. Looks pretty cold.
It was -10 centigrade, but nearly no wind, so it was ok.
there are more pictures here: http://www.hjarbo.dk/Sport/Alpin/SKM%20Trysil%202019/index.html if anyone has interrest in alpine skiing.

You are out there. You and your camera. You can shoot or not shoot as you please. Discover the world, Your world. Show it to us. Or we might never see it.

Lovely Fons. Effects are comparable with the 200/2

Good to see you have your Df back, John,
the 300mm f/2,8 must be similar to the 200mm f/2 when sharpness and oof come to mind
(200/2x tc 1,4=280/2.8),
but not a walkaround lens by no means, although i have.

Thanks Fons. I must say, I am happy to have it back !!  It's an extra joy something what the other camera's are missing.

Yes it should be comparable.  Is the lens design also comparable between the 200/2  and 300/2.8? 

And yes, it's heavy. Walk-a-round is possible, good muscle training  ;)  A monopod will help shooting.
