Re: Manual Focus Nikon Glass


The 2.8cm 3.5 S mount RF lens arrived quickly.
It truly is like new! incredible how a 70 year old lens can hold up.

nikkor 28mm 3.5 rangefinder s-mount 6 by Rafael Batlle, on Flickr

tested it with the Z6, the central area is super sharp at 1:3.5 and the corners clean up progressively to 1:11. Like my 3.5cm 1:3.5 it holds very nicely at 24mp all the way to 1:22.

The front element is ridiculously small. So the first test was with a regular width B+W filter, but it cut deep into the picture area, replaced it with a slim filter, and that one cut in only at 1:22 - have a super slim one on order.

If interested go look at the series in Flickr at 100%, uploaded 3.5, 11, and 22 only, the other apertures only change the corners and the amount of vignetting.

MIND you - the corners can be decent at any aperture, it is curvature of field that makes them fuzzy, selective focusing for depth of field can greatly enhance the corner one is interested on.

at 1:3.5: very decent central area, heavy vignetting

at 1:11 very nice throughout, still some vignetting, easily fixed if one wants to.

at 1:22 still very nice, the B+W slim filter is cutting into the corner
