The Tyler Davidson Fountain is named the Genius of Water with a lady's figure 43' up the bronze cast fountain, that sends water cascading down the fountain. Figures of four boys surround the base of the fountain and signify the pleasure of water. Wealthy Cincinnati businessman Henry Probasco commissioned the fountain in remembrance of his business partner and brother in law, the deceased Tyler Davidson. The fountain began flowing in 1871. Fountain Square is located at 5th and Vine Streets, the center of the Central Business District, with restaurants and shopping. It is used for civic and entertainment purposes.

Spring in Sycamore Grove Park, Livermore, Calif

Springtime green, Morgan Territory Preserve, Contra Costa County, N Calif.

Lights are Interfit Honey Badger [320ws].

Camera is Pentak K1mk2 w/ 85 limited [silver] lens.

Tripod is a Bogen 3033 from late 1980's.

So there I was, shuffling cameras around when I sat the Nikon Z F down in front of the Pentax K1mk2 with the 85 lens on it.

I was stunned by the size difference, so I waddled over to the card table to take a pic.

The ZF has the new Viltrox 40/2.5 lens attached.

Backdrop is[are] aothia baby blue deskpad[s]

2 digital cameras on the left, 2 film cameras on the right.
The far right camera is a Pentax LX with the guitar strap. It's 'strap lugs' are both on the end [fun fact - you can put them in 4 different spots - but not when you have the finger grip, then you only have the 2 on the side.]

backdrop is aothia pde deskpads [baby blue], the green part is the card table ;)

Part of the 'never leave without a camera' habit [or at least trying to make it a habit...

65mm Bronica PS medium format lens on the Pentax K1mk2 using the Fotodiox adapter.

Time of day was 4:17 pm [late afternoon - the sun sets at 7:21 pm today]

No editing was done [hence the car on the right...]

This was shot through the open car window. (yes, I am that lazy, but it does make this series of barn shots consistent)

Just outside of Kaskaskia IL State wildlife refuge

K12_1723

1 for Nikon F, 1 for Pentax K arrived today, so I my weekend planned :)

Fotodiox makes a bunch of stuff, they are located up near Chicago.

I am posting this to several Nikon F mount groups, Pentax K groups, and Ricoh [k mount] groups to help spread the word about these adapters.

I do not have any relationship with Fotodiox, and only learned of them when the commented on my Imperial TLR.

So, WHY didn't I buy a Z MOUNT converter? Simple - they only have one for the ERT-size & I have SQ [bigger].
