The 135mm Plena lens is awesome.

Thanks. Mostly on a bike I carry a 50mm Prime shooting at f/1.8-f/2.8 on a Nikon Z7. The shot above is with a Nikon Z9 and the amazing Nikkor 135mm Plena Lens at f/1.8.

Expensive pro gear, but I have a content production/photo and video business - tools of trade.

Sweet! I normally use a Nikkor 18-140mm telephoto lens at f/11 or close to it on my Nikon D7100. It's a pretty good middle-of-the-road setting for me, as I can get most everything I want in focus quickly, but still have a shallow enough depth of field to blur the background a bit. I need to do more shallow depth of field stuff like what you're doing though! I forgot just how cool that can be!

I'm more of a hobbyist admittedly, but I need to start touching up my best shots so I can sell them as prints. Heck, I just want to get out and do more photography in general! I haven't been using the Nikon nearly as much as I ought to!

Wow that's nice. I'm a bit of a Nishiki/Norco fan, do you have any pics of it in original condition?
*nothing wrong with the conversion, just curious about how it was originally equipped, not a model I've seen bef

BCA Rock Blaster.
Kids bike with 20x3 tires. I rebuilt it as an adult "sting ray" with longer cranks, new apes, longer seat post, nos banana seat, all new longer cables. The apes are 22.2 mm so I had to track down a 1 1/8 x 22.2 mm threadless bmx stem. Removed most of the decals. The oem plastic spoke guard crumbled at the touch so I lightly painted a rusty chrome steel spoke protector for it which looks good. The cut outs in the spoke guard match the sprocket holes. BCA claims to be "assembled" in the USA. Has a Kent International sticker on it and the serial number matches Genesis numbers (walymart brand).
