Re: Manual Focus Nikon Glass


A little lens porn:
Recently bought Nikkor 200mm f/2 AI EDIF (lens mounted on a Z7):

Nikkor 200mm f/2 AI EDIF + Z7 by Jose, on Flickr

Both taken with D810 at ISO 1600, lenses wide open.

Top: with Nikkor 135mm-f2 ai-s at 1/500s;
Bottom: with Nikkor 85mm f1.8K ai'd & CPU'd at 1/640s.

To my (good) surprise the lens came with the original UV filter (not announced).

For Rafael standarts this is a 7+ or at most a 8- lens; for me it looks like a 8+ or at most 9- lens.
The focusing is a little bit "dry", perhaps needs a little lubricating.


I had not much time to use it, but all I can say is that when you get the correct focus at f/2 it is sharp and the bokeh dreamy, as these lenses are supposed to be; but in fact I am impressed at f/2.8:
superb sharpness and still an excellent bokeh, even better than the venerable 180/2.8 ED wide open!


This is a sample wide open, one of my usual suspects, the Plain Parakeet:
