Robert, I have to use the Micro Nikkor 105mm D lens in manual focus mode, as it does not have a focusing motor in its lens body.

I have been into audio for going on fifty years, and like photography, I've had to do much of it in a cost-saving way to keep expenses somewhat reasonable. I think most folks know audio gear goes for insane prices these days, making sane audio enthusiasts use vintage gear, and as much DIY as we can muster.

I have a deep UK connection with my gear, my old Garrard 401 turntable, and my Tannoy HPD 315 (ca 1974, 12" Dual Concentric drivers), placed into custom built 150 liter enclosures nearly 2" thick, weighing in at 192 lbs. each, sans drivers and crossovers. They are amazing. That's proably more than you wanted to know about my audio avocation, so I will cease and desist on the subject here.

Regarding your blossom and leaf opening marathon, will you be making viewing it possible for members? Something I would enjoy seeing, I should think.

Regards,
Dan
