p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Nikkor lenses thread

Since there are so many users of nikkor lenses, I decided to start a new topic. I am sure there will be many contributors

Here is the first one taken with nikkor Ai-s 180 ED.

One more: the same lens and the same place.

And the last one in this series: still the same lens, but a different place

It seems that nobody likes nikkor lenses, except for me

This time nikkor 105/2.5 Ai-s, great portrait lens, but it can be used for other purposes as well.

Patrick,
You could make any lens look like a magic wand. While beautiful models help, your eye to capture natural poses that finesse their best angles while simultaneously nailing the photographic composition is unfair to those of us who have bought a lens from you and discovered we are but mortals and they are but pieces of metal and glass.

Hat tip. Deep bow.
Jim

P.S. The 105 that I bought from you has produced some of my favorite shots of my children, but none hod a candle to your work.

We like them...we just like Nikon bodies as well and that doesn't qualify for alternative

I assume it would be a waste of time for mortals to post some of their favorite shots with Nikkors.....

BTW...I must congratulate you on a remarkable rendition of "Swinging on the Meat"

Thanks, Jim. These were all on a 20D. Need to bump up to a 5d2 or similar some day, but can't justify the $$$ at the moment.

A lot of people have unkind words for the Nikon 35, but I like it. Stopped down even a little, it is very sharp. Wide open, it is dreamy. Perhaps part of the problem is hitting focus. This is the only lens that gives me fits with that wide open. Can't get a focus screen for my camera...reason enough to upgrade.

It is worth saying that the color in these is all nominally SOOC, with a simple "strong contrast curve" in ACR and perhaps saturation bumped 10 points there. With other lenses, I often have to kick the saturation a fair bit more. Not this one - at least when properly exposed.

Jim, Jim's right, Jim.

Sorry, I can't help it.

I fully agree that the 5D is a very fine camera, I don't hesitate to shoot mine alongside a 1DsIII. Over the next few weeks, I'll be comparing the Nikkor-P Auto 105/2.5 and Nikkor-P.C Auto 105/2.5 - common sources agree that the .C is better, and I want to find out for myself. I'll also be testing out a Nikkor 105/1.8 AIS, but that's just because I like fast lenses.

There are a ton of these in the Nikon forum, but always good to see love for the manual stuff.

A few from my 35/1.4 AI-S. Easily my most-used lens. Can't wait for an AF-S version nonetheless.
