Gosh. Hand-held. Not even a monopod ? are you made of marble ?

Transgender flesh & blood, no marble. However, the 1000 balances pretty nicely on the Z5.

These days of late have been simply awful: dark, extremely mild nowhere near or below the freezing point one should expect at the season, wet, bleak, negligible snow, sky is livid (in the alternate meaning of 'livid' as we use in botany, ie. lead-coloured) and blankets everything in a gloomy mood. Depression runs rampant in the community.  No wonder the photography is afflicted as well.

The Cosina-Voigtländer 25mm f/4 Skopar S (Nikon RF mount) is a little gem and is perfectly and unobtrusively seated onto my PrimaLuce Z5. This scene on the parking lot when I went shopping today is typical for the current circumstances; all the wetness and gloom one might *not* wish for, all cars are grey or electric or both, and people are all masked-up. Yours truly included, which makes a hassle for shooting by the way.

Post script

Remarkable photoshop has been recognizing the afs 300mm f/2.8 as a Sigma 300mm f/2.8 apo lens.

At least the software did get the focal length and lens speed correct :)

AFS 24mm f/1.4 Nikkor, IR, PrimaLuce Z5. Another dark and wet day necessitating high ISO to get anything captured at all.

Cigarette smoking fishermen at the bow of his boat on the mighty Housatonic River. Z6 with 500mm f/5.6E, 1/250, ISO 125, f/5.6, uncropped. Handheld by a too often apt to be shaking, 72 year old picture taker, who is growing to love this lens.



Nice separation !
You are lucky, you can built your houses very near the river shore
In Greece  last September many houses lost under the mud

1 Day later.  Same Christmas tree and balls. But it is not raining now.

Inside the Christmas ball a small handwritten note is visible...
