Nice. Colton, I think you see more antique cars in each week than I've seen in my 10 years in Charlotte. Why is Oregon so full of them? (Or do you just know where to look?)

Thanks Dave.
There are quite a few old cars and trucks around here. I've photographed some of them more than a few times too 🙂
 
Indeed I like the look from that 80. It has handled a very busy foliage background pretty well in that Hilux shot. But I'm not sure I would find it so much better than the usual Nikkor 75 that I'd be willing to spend $200(?) for one.

I notice the Toyota has a "14" sticker on the number plate. Still roadworthy! (Or someone's paying to keep it registered for no good reason.)

Dave,
I've not used the 80/2.4 enough to decide if I think it's "better" than the Nikkor-P 75/2.8
The Nikkor is currently my favorite lens and so I'm probably biased towards it.

I think that the owner of the Hilux is probably still using it, most likely just now and then to haul yard work type stuff.
 
Wowwww Colton, it's so great. Yes indeed the bokeh is what I like from the 80 but Nikkor P is not bad.

It depends on people, but if you dont want to spend much, get it along with one camera, then sell the camera if you dont want.

The 80 seems like a great lens, but the 75 Nikkor is superb as well.

Colton, the bokeh is great in the 80mm.

And, Which are your feelings with the EC?

So far, I'm really liking the EC. Focusing is easier and much more accurate than my S2. It seems to be better balanced than the S2 as well.
Sadly, my EC seems to have a shutter capping issue. Two frames were cut off slightly. I'm gonna shoot another roll for now and see how it goes.


FWIW, the Nikkor-P has pretty awesome bokeh too.

I thought of that too (as the lens often works out cheaper as part of a package), but I have no confidence in my ability to let go of a camera once I buy it😀, especially if it were an EC, since I don't have one yet.

And this doesn't make it any easier!
