A pair of dragons with ancient glass

One of a few great, fast, sharp old lenses I only use once in a while for special purposes - Nikkor P auto 2.8 180 mm. This one is pre AI, converted by AI Conversions. Used it for an event Saturday night, still on the D 750 this morning, so took it out for the fun of it. People say it is difficult to focus these on digital cameras, guess I'm fortunate the eyes can still do it. Bonus of a Dog just having fun.

Nice pics of dragons but, I like the last one best.
So do I! My experiment was to see if I could do bugs with the lens - hadn't done that. I knew it was very good for folks & dogs.

Thanks - Yup, a pack member - purebred AKC Lab, but a long haired one, kind of a genetic throwback - nickname, Scraggle hound. Too smart to be a dog.
