Things are beginning to settle with the new 617. I hope I have now made all mistakes which can be made. The 90 mm Grandagon was apparently faulty (lack of sharpness in the corners) and has been replaced by a 8/90 mm Nikkor.
I've sure had a few good lenses in my time, the 85 and 250 mm Sonnars from my Contarex come to mind, but this Nikkor is incredible. Outreageously sharp with an almost 3-dimensional rendition. Here's one of Seraing in one of its more glamorous moods. Well, to be honest, the whole scenery had just re-emerged from the thickest cloud of black smoke I've ever seen coming out of the coking plant in the centre of the picture. :-) http://www.fotocommunity.de/pc/pc/mypics/770012/display/7190683 Comments and suggestions are as always very welcome.
