Thanks Niki. I don't know what the Kowa 55/1.1 lens was really intended for, but obviously it wasn't conventionally sharp pictures with a Nikon DSLR. Maybe it was made just for this sort of fun. Other photos of mine without a designated lens were also taken with this Kowa optic.

I got quite a few nice shots with it, both of wildlife and some landscapes. Much more user (and wallet) friendly than the 70-200, though obviously lacks the faster aperture. I have no regrets having made the switch, however.

Nikkor SW 120/8 large format lens, the widest that can be used on the 8x10" format, Astia 100F film.

The Nikon connection is the lens used which was a Nikkor AM 210/5.6 Micro large format lens on a Canham 5x7" camera, Kodak Portra 160NC film.

Thank you very much. I think the unusual look is a fortuitous combination of a great shooting location, the broken cloud formation, city smog, and Velvia 50 resulting in enhancment of the reflected color of the sun below the horizon. Of course credit should also go to the marvellous Zeiss optics of the SL66.
