What the Nerds Do / Re: Nikkor 400mm f/5.6 ED IF Ai-S
« Last post by John Geerts on May 05, 2025, 00:29:25 »Richard: Just a few random pictures with the Nikkor 400mm f/5.6 ED non-IF. For you.Great stuff. In my opinion is the 400/5.6ED non-IF one of the greatest lenses ever made. And they are compact too.
In terms of colour rendition these come out very clean and crisp.

What the Nerds Do / Re: Nikkor 400mm f/5.6 ED IF Ai-S
« Last post by David H. Hartman on May 04, 2025, 23:28:13 »What do you mean
To ease the binding or stiffness of the helicoid focus ring, I lift the front of the lens slightly with the index finger on my left hand. I learned to do this with a 300/4.5 H Nikkor and subsequently use this technique with my 400/5.6 ED AI.
Best,
Dave

Here a more mundane attempt from my side. Sunrise quite recently, 4x5 on Fomapan 100 B&W film. F/16, 59sec (because Foma has a wild reciprocity failure
Thank you Hans!

Repeated removal of new stems and sections of rhizome will weaken and eventually eradicate bracken. Position your fork at the base of the stems to minimise soil disturbance. Cut or crush stems – damage fronds by cutting them back or crushing them while shoots are still young and tender.
*I happen to like Bracken in all its subspecific variability

« Last post by Birna Rørslett on May 04, 2025, 21:17:29 »NikonGear is a bad influence. Why else would I be trying to use an enlarging lens on a short focusing helicoid to take a portrait?
Nikon Zf, Leitz Focotar 50mm f/4.5
We feel your pain
On the other side, why not? The focusing likely is very slow, like in the older days, and that might, just might, make taking the photo more enjoyable??
Besides, enlarger lenses tend to be quite affordable items.
