Thanks Fons. 

Nice light with the zf 28/2  Is that a bit of distortion visible?

Corrected the perspective which provided for the exaggerated view.
The zeiss 28/2 nice lens not perfect moustachelike distortion,
but who wants perfect.

Nobody wants perfect.  The Zeiss 25/2.8 is also a very attractive lens, need to test it more,  but a bit busy with a lot of other things at the moment....

Pink or pinkish orange, not white. We agree.

Fortunately the modification of the legendary Rodenstock XR-Heligon 100mm f/1.6 to native Z-mount does not prevent it from making wonderfully unsharp images :D same procedure as last year

My edit of the day, 19 years after I shone light on a piece of slide film I notice that there is a lot of information in that film I have never seen before. I further notice, that ACR12 is a great RAW converter for D850-NEFs!!!

Frank, I love that photo!  Capturing the puppy shimmying the water off and the person shielding from it!

This week we had a storm that started as snow and turned to sleet then rain followed by a quick freeze.
Here is the yard with a carapace of crystal ice covering the snow beneath as the sun was setting. Brrr...

Wonderful, this image speaks volumes!

Even with no faces visible, we can hazard a guess at their expressions (and some of the things being said)!
