On my way to my GP today for blood samples and other tests. I believe this must be an indirect Scottish influence? (hint: Alistair McCall Smith)

The DKL-Nikon F  adapter arrived. Actually it is a small ring which makes it possible to use the aperture and to mount on the Nikon F.

The Voigtlander Septon 50mm f/2.0  (sold on the Voigtlander Bessamatic)  here on the Z6  (https://lens-db.com/voigtlander-septon-50mm-f2-1959/)

Z7  24-70/2.8

The Z series apparently sparked a revival of Voigtländers as well ....

Yes, they are looking sexy, don't they?

Especially from the period before the  'Cosina' acquisition

Yesterday I was searching for the minimalistic plant Myosurus minimus (Tiny Mousetail) which, eventually, allowed itself to be discoverable. It belongs to the group of plants botanist lovingly nick-name "belly plants", which is an indication of how they have to be approached when you are a photographer as well ...

Anyway, when I had done the Mousetail, and uttered a lot of foul words over the inadequacies of the Z system for the occasion, I let my eyes take in the surrounding view of grassland infested by the invasive Wintercress Barbarea vulgaris now coming into bloom. The pollinators really love it though, so "invasive" might not be the applicable term in a more holistic and ecological perspective.

Here is a typical view. Z6 with the 24mm f/2 Nikkor which is better than its reputation if you maintain the lens well.

May 13.  It has been very hot for a couple of days in Tokyo, and Althaea rosea started to bloom.

Akira, love this photograph. It has the gossamer effect of a water color and it draws me in and makes me want to look at it again.

the Z6 brings all I did love in the D600 and more. Especially with very old MF glass. A strike of genious of Nikon engineers.
