Kewl, thanks Steve. (and thanks for your comment above). I've certainly been impressed with the results you're getting with it, but I'd honestly never seen one.

I had the 50/1.2 "Normal", which I bought when I got my first F3, circa 1980. My son (the one pictured above) signed up for a photography class in Junior High, and asked if he could use that lens on a Nikkormat body I told him he could use for the class. Somewhat reluctantly, I let him take it, and the very first day it was stolen! He was like, "oh yeah, someone took it"... totally casual about the whole thing. He's a photographer in New York now, and would be completely freaked out if some lifted one of his cameras and/or lenses. :eek:

I remember you mentioned that. I just looked the Noct up on eBay, and Holy Cats!!! :eek::eek::eek:

There are several, mostly AIS (one Ai), and the low price is over $3K, with the high at almost $6K. I mean nice lens, but let's get real folks. :wtf:

William, the portrait of the boy is an instant classic :thumbs:

Love your dog shots, Steve, and I don't even like dogs :eek: (15 stray dogs across the canal, keeping me awake at nights). Like your lens too, but the price these days... :shocked: I could hire an assistant for a year for the lowest price in this country.

Lloyd, those portraits are very "Lloydish". Top class :salute:

Beautiful light this morning. Too bad it's in large part to the really bad inversion (read: pollution) we've had with this high pressure system sitting over us.

Nothing special about this first shot, just liked the light:


Did make for some really nice reflections in the windows along my way to my first meeting this morning:




All with the D3 and the 70-200/2.8 VRII
