Thanks...the heron is only 1/4 of the full frame....panning/focusing with the manual focus 200 is fun....

Yes, number four is superb.

....thank you for the kind words...the Q is a much better lens than some reviews suggest...

I recently got an AIS version of the 200/4 only because it was there (I'm sure you can understand THAT)...and cheap (I know you can all empathize with that too...$80 for the 200 on the end of a clean working FE2 AND a MD12 motor drive....)

Still......I will VERY likely keep this Q only because it's the last lens I own that I bought new when I was a PJ back in the 1960s and 70s...and it looks it....(the glass is pristine of course though)...having already decided to keep 2 Nikkors of the same FL (50/1.4-AIS and F2-K, and 135/2.8-K AND an AI'd 135/2.8-Q.C) having one more "redundant" lens isn't too crazy, right?!?!?!

Right decision to keep the Q, it means something for you and also in the external condition it is,
you would not raise much from a sale anyway Wink

Very nice pictures and I too prefer #4, it has something funny, like a cartoon Very Happy

My thoughts exactly...about the cartoon bird, and the lens's appearance/value....it was also AI "cut" by my neighborhood Nikon repair shop here in south Florida, USA, a nationally known Nikon pro-repair guy who has since retired...I miss Pete Smith...
