After picking up an obsolete but wonderful Nikon D810 last year (mint but carrying with dignified silence the wear of 2.3 million exposures, having previously been nestled in an automated QC rig in a high-end car plant). I got an analogue-era lens for the hole at the front and now that I've used it a bit am in awe of its resolving power (particularly at or above f8). It's chunky and a bit plain but looking into that wide eye, and its wondrous depths, I feel I am poised above a still pool of water cupped between mountains with the impulse to dive in, with my clothes on. It looks so clear in there but I'm sure it's going to be freezing.
