N80, 50mm 1.4 G, Ultramax 400, Developed in Bellini C-41 kit, V800 scans. Nice! I have the 50 1.8G, and the 50 1.4D (as well as the behemoth Art 50) and so have not added/used the 50 1.4G.
How do you like the 1.4G on film/the N80?
I like it. I had borrowed one along with an F6 before buying this one and got some very nice shots. It seems sharp enough. I like it best unsurprisingly at F/2.8 and above. I only have my N80 kit zoom and an AI 135mm to currently compare its sharpness to so my experience so far is limited. I prefer it to the zoom when I have to choose. I do believe the 50 1.4G I borrowed was just a smidge sharper than the copy I bought, however. I only used F glass on my D series cameras recently so I am learning what I can reasonably get from my N80 and hopefully I'll learn more when I get another F6 when I can find a US model again. You didn't ask but I'll add this anyways, I prefer the meter in the F6 and the data imprinting between frames. The imprinting helps me learn which is what I need most right now.
