You are correct but you failed to make a bid as clearly stated. I'm impressed with your musical knowledge. I'd be very interested in knowing your musical background.

Dave, I really appreciate your interest, and have thought long and hard on how to respond. I disagree with your first sentence. When I went out to photograph that morning, blur WAS my subject. My camera was set to AP with the smallest aperture, ISO to the slowest with auto ISO off, vibe reduction off, and focal length not too short so as to minimize DOF. I shot without changing settings, instinctively and impulsively, hoping that what ever might be left of my "eye" would yield a keeper or two. So, camera motion was a given, not something decided on for that scene. My goal was (and is) strong images, balanced shapes and colors--pictures that work---without regard for a story, subject matter, or any compositional rules. For me (in my 90s) abstract RULES, even if there are identifiable humans or objects in the scene. My interest is 99% focused (or in this case, de-focused) on what I can get straight from the camera.

Thanks Dave- I keep trying?

Thanks for removing the implication from your post.

Your implication is that this lens will tilt and shift. Is it a PC Nikkor? A picture of it might clarify.

Your bid of $42.00 is meaningless. The current bidding is at $70.00, which is YOUR bid. Do you understand what is going on? If not, please re-read this entire thread.

Your bid of $41.00 is meaningless. Bidding is now at $70.00.

Thank you DougS and So it goes. Your remarks are appreciated and encouraging to continue trying for strong, rich images and (for me), straight from the camera--no holds barred!

KEH will pay 40 to 60 bucks for this lens and resell it for 89-109.

Gorgeous. Change nothing. Wish it was mine. Congrats!

Many thanks to one and all for thoughtful comments. What I'm after is balance of shapes, textures and colors: something nice to look at---achieved photographically. I'm not quite ready to scrap my "bum" image. You can chalk up my intransigence to my terminal condition: nonagenarianosis.
