Same as above, but with mom in the picture. Any recs for 21mm & 50mm lenses on the F3?
Never shot as wide as a 21 with the F mount ("wided out" at 28mm with the 28mm f/2.8 AI-s, another fave), but I am a big fan of the 50mm f/1.2 AI-s. Haven't shot it much on film (somehow keep picking up the M-A instead of the F2), but historically it has been a favourite lens on digital Nikons. Has some tendency to flare in interesting ways, at f/2 is an extremely good performer, and is totally serviceable wide open when needed. Only downside is size/weight. Has basically the same footprint as a Noct-NIKKOR 58 f/1.2 but without the corner coma performance, but also at about an order of magnitude less expensive. Would not hesitate to recommend.
