Nikkor-O 2.1cm f/4 S-mount

[paul hofseth]

As I recall the 21mm which I used on my LeicaIIIc, it gave very good sunstars and not many disturbing reflections. The rear eyepiece iof my viewfinder succumbed to my usual rough treatment of photo equipment, so eventually I gave up on that combination and got a substitute.

Lobo was excessively fond of fetching thrown twigs and branches. However since he was quite strong, he sometimes fetched small logs which he wanted thrown and a jump was necessary to save ones legs from colliding with the onrushing enthusiastic game partner and his offering of object to throw.

years since i got rid of ithe 21mm and bought one of the M mount Hologons. which i did not like although it had reasonable perspectibe with no distortion, but not quite sharp enough corners for landscapes.A suitable sum plus a very rare Alpa replaced it.

I found more 2.1cm f/4 photos after a dive into the archive. It was the widest lens at my disposal until I got the first of the 15mm f/3.5 Nikkors, and since exact framing wasn't possible, my pre-perception of the rendering increased. A very valuable lesson for a budding photographer.

The near limit of 0.9m, typical for rangefinder lenses at the time, was overcome using a close-up lens. If memory serves this was the 3T Nikon achromat.

Both images with Nikon S3.
