Thank you - I really enjoy photography with my current equipment.

Since Nikon slowed down the pace of new camera/lens releases, there is less useful discussion on the internet, so I prefer the quietness of this forum

Congrats on your acquisition - I hope you will like it! It is tuned to be excellent at macro/close distances, while still being very good at portrait/long distance. It has the neutral/natural rendering of modern Nikon lenses that I‘ve come to really appreciate

1st test run with the Nikkor S 105mm MC - very impressive lens

Did you use focus stacking for this shot?

 

[Swissblad]

Hi John, yes, both images are composite merged stacks - apologies - forgot to mention it

You will end up loving it - it's a great lens for portraits - or even treescapes
