What you need to realize is that NPS members will be prioritized and will receive theirs prior to non members.
Manufacturing actually went into full production mode in September.
How large is the NPS community for Nikon?
It's sad but the D6 will soon be keeping company to all museum gear like the F3. The real question is what comes after the Z9? The iphone 14?
It's the best successor to D850!
Wonderful! who is the sculptor?

I think that the spirals of the galaxies are formed by the greater rotational speed of the stars near the center of the galaxie required to balance the greater gravitational force that is created near the center of the galaxie. The spiral arms of the galaxies are probably held together by the gravitational forces in the arms.
Is it possible that there is a connection to the formidable power of the black hole?
Thanks for the wonderful tour!
Many thanks for these spectacular images! You must be very happy to capture such images of our neighborhood.
I wonder if there is an explanation about the arms or wings that every galaxy has.

Beautiful creatures in superb portraits!
Fellow Missourian, Many of us older people grew up with film and still miss it. Major changes have happened and while you may still shoot film, you may wish to catch up with photography. After DSLR, the digital revolution, came the iphone revolution (some young people only know their phones), and now we have the mirrorless cameras. Nikon is about to announce its latest masterpiece the Z9, most likely an expensive camera, and Canon has already moved up to the R5 and now the R3, both superb cameras. Depending on your budget, I suggest you invest in one of these or, if you prefer Nikon and not so expensive, the Z 6 or Z7II. If you live near a camera store, you can rent them first to try them out!

You may have actually captured what is known as a "courtship dive", when the male climbs up about 35 yards then dives at a great speed toward the female.

Please let us know why you think it's the greatest.
Like so many others who replied to your question, I have had almost exclusively positive interactions with Japanese sellers. Generally, they are very proud and honest people. It would be a rare occasion that a defect has not been disclosed and if you find something objectionable they would be happy to get it back. It's very important to them to maintain a 100% record for honest transactions. Also, their merchandise is usually in great condition and you can find items that are rare elsewhere.

Good captures especially to get their iridescence showing so well. Alas, our Hummingbird feeder has not been visited in a week so I guess it's time to bring it in for the winter as our little friends must be winging their way south.
Yes, they are gone. I can tell when bees are buzzing around the feeder, they never do it when the hummers are around.
A version of this tale actually happened when in the 3rd century BCE a sundial clock came to Rome from Greek Sicily. The locals were very suspicious of it as an evil thing. Eventually, they got used to it and became enamored with counting time!
I can't wait until tomorrow. Maybe the R3 and the Z9 will finally catch up with my old favorite the Linhof 6X17!
