Hello from Copenhagen

Hello
I have not been a very active photographer for some years now but I miss it a bit so it is my intention to become more active.
My first camera was a Yashica which took the special plastic film cassettes. Then I got my fathers Voigtländer Vitomatic IIa with Color Skopar 50/2.8 (big improvement). Later I got my fathers Nikkor 85/1.8 H-C and 35/2.0 O-C and got them AI converted to be used on my FE2. There was always a wow-effect when showing slides shot with these two lenses. Later I got a 2nd hand nice F4 when price was reasonable. I remember when it was released and I just stood outside a shop and looked at it......but at that price level it was a "no-go". Later I got a D2X and now I use my D5200 which in fact was a big improvement from D2X (if we talk image quality and ISO performance). Since then I have compared with D5300 - D5600 but not found a significant improvement in still images. The rumored Toshiba sensor in D5200 must be very good?
I also have a J4 and J5 and regret the CX cameras came to an end. Will see when I upgrade to a new DSLR or Z-camera. I like the small size of Z50 but still I don't find the image quality (when compared a dpreview) significant enough to buy a Z50 (it is also a shame that this small model does not have built-in VR in the body). Years back I also had a "Hasselblad" period. 6x6 slides was really "something".....but Hasselblad was sold when I got my D2X and found that I could make as good print outs of D2X files than scanned 6x6 slides. I have also collected a bit vintage cameras/lenses. I have some old Nikkors and also I like vintage Voigtländer lenses a lot.

Welcome to NG. Apparently you'll fit into our member community as a hand in a glove :)
Looking forward to seeing photos and contributions to any discussion. Or open your own thread if necessary, but do search for any relevant existing ones first.
MEPER:
Thank you!
Years back we had a few emails via your old web page with the Nikkor ratings and UV photography. I remember you got your Nikkor 80/2.8 AF (made for the special F3 AF) from a Danish photo shop I pointed out. I think later you also got the 200/3.5. Both nice performers but I only have the 80/2.8 (where it was necessary to cut the wires from the chip. Else it would drain the battery of the F4/F5 body). Think I may try out the 80/2.8 on D5200.......had nearly forgot that lens.
MEPER:
Will check if I am able to post images.........made some attachments of 3 images where I played using D5200 as digiback on an old view camera........and tried out some "macro fun"......
This is just a test.....if images shows up........don't know if images uploads automatic........will check after posting.......they don't show up in preview.
