[Theme] Pictures taken with vintage lenses
« on: June 25, 2021, 15:54:16 »
Hi all,

Opening this thread hopping everyone to share your pictures taken with vintage lenses, Nikon or not Nikon :) Please kindly specify the lens and the aperture setting if you know.

Not right now, but I will show my pictures for sure. Even though, almost all my lenses are vintage, I am still looking to see which ones represent the vintage look the best :)

Cheers,
Zang

Contax Zeiss 50mm f1.4 - Nikon Z5, F5.6, ISO 400, 1/2.5s

Usually, the lens is very sharp but this shot was shaken a bit.

I have just repeated the shot with more careful pressing (still did not want to look for Z5 timer in the menu).

The old AI 105mm f/2.5 Nikkor was simply made for the Nikon Df camera.

f/2.5 according to EXIF. The lens is CPU-enabled.

Nordic winters aren't that bright.

Another of the RF Nikkors to offer its service, this time the 3.5cm f/1.8 W-Nikkor on my tiny Nikon 1V1.

There was plenty DOF in the photo, thus my guess.

Nah. I wasn't really close. And shooting through a veil of snow blurs and blends everything.

After finding that Contax Zeiss 100mm f2.8 outperforms Nikon 105mm f2.5 at every aspect, whenever I need 100mm, I grab that one.

Inspired by Birna today, I gave Nikkor another chance taking it for my hiking. Here is a few pictures taken with that very lens.

Yes, but which 105mm f/2.5 Nikkor? There was a Sonnar type (5 lenses, 3 groups) and a  Xenotar-type lens (5 lenses, 4 groups) and variations with in those groups.

I'm not a historian and not that knowledgeable regarding optics but I chanced on the Nikkor - The Thousand and One Nights series...

Took the 135/2.8Q (about 1968) out for a spin the other day just keeping it limber.  F11 according to exif. No recollection why I set it so small.

Good question, Dave. It's 945841 - so I think 5/4!
