NIKKOR-S 55mm f/1.2, 10th Lens

(1/3) > >>

RonVol:
A couple of weeks ago I was most fortunate to add this very special lens to my 55mm f/1.2 collection.
With serial #970120 makes it the 10th lens to roll off the production line, from way back in 1964.

I am going to make an overhaul article of that lens next month  :o :o :o

the 55mm is a very big prime by Nikon's standards ::)

it is pretty sharp on 14MP but shows it's age on 24MP cameras. I will make a comparo of that in a future article.

One of the easiest Nikkors to work on.
I look forward to the article.
Bloody hard to focus at f/1.2 and really crazy bokeh.
The background at f/1.2 makes it seem like the lens is tripping-out on acid man  ;D

richardHaw:
it is very dreamy :o :o :o

Erik Lund:
It even comes with the silica gel with logo ;) Congratulation!
