JT wrote: 🕐 10-06-23 15:37The NIKKOR Z 135mm f/1.8 S Plena is a prime lens known for its exceptional brightness. Its name, derived from Latin, signifies a state of complete spatial fullness. This lens aims to excel in light capture, producing pleasing background blur (bokeh), and delivering sharpness from corner to corner of the image.
Nikon meticulously crafted this lens to ensure consistent brightness across the entire frame. Its 11-blade diaphragm and substantial rear glass element contribute to creating a circular bokeh effect and adding a three-dimensional quality to images. With its 135mm focal length and wide f/1.8 aperture, it allows for creating a shallow depth of field, enhancing your photography experience. Unlike the Noct lens, the Plena supports autofocus, but it lacks built-in vibration reduction (VR). This lens consists of 16 lens elements in 14 groups and has a weight of approximately 2.2 pounds or 995 grams.

For example
http://jt.nikonimages.com
will go directly to my profile page.
[b]Do NOT[/b] put https in the link as it will not pass the security test and throw a warning. You can use http which will redirect to https for you.
If you have a dot in your name, then just remove the dot. so a user name with john.doe would just be jondoe

I think Nikon has really raised the bar with this new retro / modern camera and I for one, am getting one to use with my old F mount lenses!
Fuji. Watch your back !

What a great way to convey your scene or topic to others. These will be featured for all to see and read. Still working on functionality. But, hang tight.

JT wrote: 🕐 09-01-23 21:04So I have noticed that my images look fuzzy on the website. The reason being is because I have a 4k monitor and my display settings on the computer is set to 150% so things don't look so small.
Lightroom knows about this and handles the pixels density and ratio properly. However, the web browsers do not. Therefore, in my case, images look 150% and pretty bad.
having said that, If I export from lightroom and save as a 4000 pixel image, the its scaled down in the browser a little and it looks decent.
Here is an example of the image exported in 4000 pixel
https://www.leicaimages.com/photo/100079
compared to 2000
https://www.leicaimages.com/photo/100074
I can try and code around this but I thought this would be a temporary solution.

It's meant to be simple and to the point like the old days. No categories or overhead. Just simple messaging for everyone. Write what's on your mind, report a bug, request a feature. ask a question, share something new it doesn't matter. It's there for communicating with the community. Use the search feature if you are looking for something specific.

JT wrote: 🕐 07-31-23 22:32I will be the first to admit it. The consolidation of the websites has failed miserably. It is painful for me to admit it, but I am a realist.
Members have made it clear they like the old niche private club of Leica owners with a dedicated website for them and a place to share their pictures. Having said that, I have brought Nikonimages back to life from the dead with afew jolts of lightning juice and lots of cursing to myself.
You will need to create a new password. Simply visit nikonimages.com and click on the Sign in link at the top and then when the form appears, click on Forgot password and your password will be reset.
Some things to keep in mind. ...
I have removed the forums software which rarely was used since most discussions on the site take place via photo comments.
I have removed most of the Non Leica related photos but some still linger. We will have to live with that.
I will create a private messagingsystem very shortly and we can reach out to each other via that interface.
Every now and then I will post interesting news and events on the home page.
Please be patient. This is a one man shop and I make mistakes in the code now and then. But, overall, its a unique site we all like.
Things are not perfect but we will get there. Nikonmages has been around for nearly 20 years and I am glad everyone here is a contributor to the site with their awesome photography. If this works, I will be hosting a new contest in celebration of renewed activity and participation once the zombies awaken again :)
