Nikkor 28mm f2.8 AIs - a rejoicing rediscovery

[rosko]

Bravo, Luc for this series !

Very colorful images with great lighting.

More good use of the 28mm f/2.8 AIS here, Luc and Jacques!

Here is another night shot, handheld wide open with D5100 at 1/10 s ISO 800. I was also impressed by the corner performance wide open when I got this lens.


(note EXIF is has incorrect focal length, as this was before I re-chipped the lens).

Very nice Øivind. Great bokeh also, no cat eye shape or onion rings I like that.

Thanks Luc, for reminding us all of this lens, just did a test with my copy on a brick wall and sone shiny surfaces.
I must remember to use it much more.
Lovely pictures by the way in this thread

Thanks Erik. You must have chipped one once?

This thread has been a treat! Never having used a 28mm lens, now I am wondering if I am missing out.

Glad you like the thread, Ian. And yes, get one while you can

Luc, you started a very enjoyable thread!  All of you, Øivind, Jacques and John have shown different characteristic aspects of this optical gem.  Thank you for sharing!

[Øivind Tøien]

Thanks for the kind comment on my night capture.
Luc, so ESA took it into space (especially the first one, all really nice). 

On a smaller scale it works quite well in reversed mode (BR-2A + a filter ring):
