Another almost....     Still finding Z6 a bit laggy but hopefully I can adjust as I did with Sony a7iii.   Z6/300 2.8Gvr w/tc1.4 handheld.  Almost recovered from two broken ribs so should be able to drive soon.  Looking forward to getting out for some birds and Street.

Sitting in my local café, enjoying the morning newspaper, a healthy sized Cappucino, and, of course, a perfect mint sample of the APO-Lanthar 85mm f/3.5 for Nikkor-S(RF) mount. Price of the lens was highly acceptable and in the confusion  about Brexit, Customs forgot the VAT. Not that I would protest :)

The lens, one of a small lot of 600 units ever made, will be living together with my petite Nikon Z50. I built a complete lens range for it using old rangefinder Nikkors and the quite modern (ca 2004) Voigtländer lenses in RF mount.

Perfect day. Despite howling gusts of wind making a mess of my hair do. Who cares when being indoors?

Jakov,  correct me if I’m wrong, I’m pretty sure I’ve seen wax dresses floating on that water/moat?
Lovely photo and a great sky!

That's an excellent way of using a fisheye lens, Jack. The light striping really adds to the overall impression.
