I was going to use my ancient F2 but the seals were just shredding and falling off, so I postponed that experiment until I can find someone to replace the seals.

When I got my outfit, I chose the 55mm for all-purpose and macro work. I still use it, but on the new camera body (a Z-5, via the FTZ adapter) The 105 is a fabulous lens and I actually got the latest incarnation of it (from required IRA distributions).

I really look forward to using the F2 once again, and thanks for giving me the motivation to have it brought up to speed.

I’ll look at your photos closely later. It’s very late and I had an eye exam and did some shopping today, 100 miles driving.
