Got to the Mogollon (pronounced something like "Mugeeyon') Rim (central Arizona north of Payson) today and got a couple decent pics.

All 3 with '100S and 32-64, handheld.. Even better, my BFfL, after hearing of the recent suicides of two fellow-fotog friends, and I had a GREAT time.

Thank you, John. I seem drawn to the extremes. For me, "normal" focal lengths are much more difficult, or at least I haven't trained my eye to notice interesting images with them. I think the advice "go out with a single focal length and use it for a week or two" is good. In a snowstorm, I'll go out with only a 70mm. The system is weather-proof, but changing lenses isn't.

Hello Ed, interesting to see the use of your Pentax lenses on the GFX system, especially the 28-45, which I love for its focal reach. How do they fare and is it easy to focus without AF on the GFX? May be you got this question before at some point and I missed it. Nice image BTW!Dee Why beach, in Sydney's north

Today we present: The Wrong Tool for the Job - The Zeiss 350/5.6 Superachromat on a Leica S(007)
(Does not apply to @doug, who can manually focus anything)
I like the composition. Unfortunately, everything is out of focus. Damn.
Well, THIS part of a different shot is in focus, so we'll call it an abstract.
The color version of this is posted in the Tree Photos thread. It shows the compressed look even on a single tree. Here's my even-I’m-getting-tired-of-it white foliage attempt to showcase the branches. A wide angle lens would have done quite well here, but I wanted to "learn" the 350. Edit: I toned down the foliage. It's a bit more complex now.
Well, first outings with a lens are likely to be disappointing, so I'm not disappointed. (That's the kind of statement that caused computers in 1960's SciFi to self-destruct. I always expect the computer to say “Oh look! A logical fallacy. Cute! I’ll put that on my mantle piece right next to the last digit of pi”).

PS: Actually, this one kinda works. It's 1/125 second, so the birds have a motion blur which is attractive on birds and not on humans.

I had the pleasure of visiting Durham cathedral (N E England) today, which is worth a visit at any time, more so at present as they are hosting the museum of the moon. This is a 7m wide sculpture based on detailed NASA images. It was lit by available light through the tall stained glass windows within the cathedral at the time of my visit. Taken with my GFX100S + GF23mm:

I found a larger model of the moon, but the lighting was awful! The moon was so lost in the haze that focus peaking didn't see anything to highlight. This is a testament to good fortune in manual focusing (NOT hand held. Lens support rail and Gitzo 5 held). I was really surprised to see what clarity and dehaze could find in that faint pale arc.
BTW, here's what was visible - straight OOC.
This one is not THAT interesting, but I liked the arc of lit green.
And a nicely eerie hole filled with color in the wall of vegetation.
All of the above with Leica S(007), Zeiss 350/5.6 Superachromat, and Teleconverter APO 1.4XE for a grand total of 490mm f/8.

Stunning! Did you remove the signature AMP vignette or is it a crop?
Saw this tree on the way down from the great wall, in miyun district of beijing, lots of nice autumn colors already.
