50mm f/1.8 on Nikkormat EL, probably on Ektachrome 100
another one with the 50mm f/1.8, this time Fuji RD100, F3HP
and a late 60s 135mm f/3.5 non-AI on Nikon F3HP, most likely Fuji RD100

Here's a cheap-o silly kit lens from about 15 or 20 years ago - The Nikon AF Nikkor 28-70mm f/3.5. I'm drawn to Nikkor lenses. I dunno why - maybe cuz my sharpest lenses for copy machines, microscopes, and 35mm cameras have always turned out to be Nikkor. Or maybe it's that 1970's song?
f/3.5, 28mm, 1/80s, ISO800
Someone is going to college!
28mm 1/15s, f/11 (for the star) ISO800, handheld
A little sidewalk bar I found about 2 hours ago (1am).
28mm, 1/40s, f/3.5, ISO800,
Behold the plastic chestnut!

Here's some more of the Nikon AF Nikkor 28-70mm f/3.5. Ken seems to like it:
Taken last night at around 9pm. - just kinda messing with motion blur a little - all hand-held of course:
1/13s, F/4.5, ISO100, 70mm
1/13s, f/4.0?, ISO100, 60mm
1/13s, f/4.5, ISO100, 70mm
But this one guy jumps so damn high and crosses his legs mid-air... I had to stop playing with the MB and get just one of him doing it. I dunno if you can tell how high he is but for this in-game head-shot he's at least 1m off the ground. :o
1/60s, f/4.5, ISO800, 70mm
- This Nikon 28-70mm is a very compact, and also very high quality,
midrange zoom.
It works great on all DX and FX digital and film cameras.
This little gem was introduced to allow people to use a camera's
built-in flash even at 28mm. Previous lenses, like the excellent
28-85mm f/3.5-4.5 AF were so big that the lens would cast
a shadow into the image from a camera's built-in flash at 28mm.
This 28-70 is probably the fastest and best super-compact
midrange zoom made by Nikon. All the others made today in
this size are only f/5.6 at the long end, and are much cheaper.
This was Nikon's first hybrid aspherical lens.

looks pretty good, and i'm very jealous of your scenery. when you get a chance, can post a shot of the lens on the camera? i'm curious how it compares size wise to the voigtlander 35/1.4.

Yeah, for straight out of the camera and stitch, it's not too bad. I'll be happier when we get a sunny day and I can reshoot. But the lens performs pretty well for a plus or minus 60 year old. The glass is in great shape but the focus needs help. But I got it below market, so it was worth it.
I haven't used the CV, so I can't make a comparison, but here are a couple of quick shots. Hope they give you a good idea of the size.
looks like a pretty good fit. is that the voigtlander adapter? what is the mfd on that lens, 1m?
kakomu: those are some great looking shots. i always mean to photograph around the L and metra tracks, but never get around to it.

It is, actually. Thanks to the adapter and the heavy rear element, most of the weight is kept centered on the mount, so it balances well in my hand. It is the Voigtlander. I never thought I'd spend that much on an adapter, but it's a very nice one and I figure I'll save some money picking up the 105 in the S mount instead of the screw, so it'll even out a little. MFD is three feet.

Thanks. There are a lot of places in Chicago I mean to photograph, but never seem to have the time, or I'm too tired after work. I find myself photographing around work (L tracks) or on my way home (Union station and thereabout).
I'd say send me a PM and we could explore Chicago

Nice shots, C. The 24 pool shot is fantastic. Really nicely captured. But tell me, do you have a water-tight housing or simply no fear? The kid had to have landed fairly close to you and made a good amount of splash.

It paid off. Do you exclusively shoot film or do you switch between that and digital?

Slowly moving to film only. I hope to replace my DSLR with a medium format system.
