I read a sci fi story many years ago about a group that simulated a brain. There were a couple of wires they did not know where to hook up - they attached a microphone and head set to them. One of the researches learned to talk to the computer. He told no one. They carried on a conversation for a long time. One day the computer ask
"How many kilowatts has God."

I’m thinking about getting this lens. I was wondering if anyone here could tell me how you like or dislike the Nikkor AF-S FX 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VR. Most of the reviews I have seen mentions how heavy it is. Does the weight bother you? Also are there any other issues with this lens you would like to point out. How do you like the sharpness? Any information about the Nikkor AF-S FX 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VR would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.



I only use it with a tripod and it works great But, then I am 90 years old

Definitely a butterfly. Look at the knobby antenna.

Found a living normal colored cicada one morning still clinging to its exoskeleton.

These two pictures show the problem was one of right side wing expansion.

I did the initial search and found the film, I figured the OP could take the ball from there.
Have you noticed the OP has not responded to anyones post?
I agree with you on the railcars looking European, if we could see the couplers and the wheels we would know for sure.


The location of the zeppelins is definitely European. The photos are from the estate of a USA business man who had business partners in europe and travelled there occasionally.

Thanks to all for your responses they have been most helpful.

I found a packet of photographs containing both negatives and prints.
One is photograph is dated 1915 on the back. One photograph has a location on the back, but I am not sure of what it says.

Any information on the Zeppelin model, airplane model, camera used and location would be appreciated.

The negative image size is 88 by 140 mm. The prints appear to be contact prints.

I have the f4. It's on my D7100 almost all the time.
I t does have some barrel distortion so the lens correction in photoshop is necessary for some mm ranges.

This is most noticeable on landscapes. Hardly noticeable for people snapshots.

Thanks! Great suggestion 'use for a week.When testing it she'd tried 2 different lenses that had previously worked. Maybe Calagaz(local, established shop) can figure out to see if this is 'the one'.
