Nikkor S Auto 50mm f1.4

[walter g]

I got the adapter from big_is,but didn't really get to try it much. Too overcast.I won't get to really try it until after the end of the month.
Anyway this is at f1.4, slightly adjusted, and sharpened.

The 35 2.8 S is on my list to watch.

One more shot Nikkor S 50 1.4 at 1.4. EDIT I added the post shot. By looking at the lens from the back against a strong light, there are quite abit of micro scratches covering the whole front element. The other elements are perfect. I guess this hurts micro contrast and sharpness. I did bump the contrast on these images a little. These are Jpegs, I don't have enough memory to process RAW images.
Comments are welcome. I don't know what to expect from this lens performance wise.

I was routinely editing my 10MP RAW's in LR2 on my laptop with XP + 1GB of ram, so ram shouldn't be a big reason.
Just use a hood on your 50 to keep the sun off it and I doubt you'll see much if any degradation in your images, the rear element is a different story.

Thanks. I need to pick up a hood for this lens, but I'm trying to find an orginal cheap.
I've never upgraded the ram on my 7 year old computer. It's only 512mb right now, and that's not enough.
