++1 on that! 👌

Excuse the ludditery but if your using projector lenses are you effectively stuck with the aperture wide open then I take it?

Yes, only wide open - i use the lenses for night shots or in concerts. i have projector lenses in 50mm and 70mm
with apertures up to 1.0

You can see some concert shot with the Meostigmat 1.0/70mm here:

R. Topcor 300mm f/2.8, adapted to Pentax 645 mount(!). Very neat job, and there are plenty of adaptors available from that mount. Got a cheap Chinese adapter to K-mount, which lets me use it on my Pentax K-1. If I'm happy enough, I might spring for the real Pentax adapter.

Quick indoor shot wide open (what else) balanced on handrail. Meant to focus on basket, came out a little closer. About 15 feet from subject.

This humble lens has a very good reputation, and my limited experience with it has been even better than I was expecting. Everyone notes that it's sharp, and that's true, but the images it produces have an indefinable quality I really like. It's got character. I'm not sure how to explain it except to say it's more than the sum of its parts.

I'd love to get one of the old 9-bladed-iris versions, but those are quite rare and seem to be very expensive.

One of the great standard lenses for sure.
A little gem

Worth-while to purchase if I have the Micro Nikkor and the Nikkor-S Auto 1.4 50mm already?
I also have heard it is special.

I say yes. It's not very expensive, and while I don't own either the Micro Nikkor or the 50 1.4 Nikkor, I'd guess it has quite different character compared to those two. I have about a dozen old Nikkors, and this one has the most distinct and "classic" look to its images.

Did I mention it's not very expensive?

Smile

Yes, not very expensive. That's very important for me! And it is a nice lens.
I will keep my eyes open for one then. Thank you!

The lens comes in two varieties - Nikkor-H and Nikkor-H C
The second is the coated lens.
The Nikkor-H uncoated should be cheaper
Both are wonderful
Tom

PS - there is also an earlier Nikkor-S 50mm f2 with seven elements rather than the six elements of the Nikkor-H
It renders differently and is well worth getting if you can find one.

rounding out my adaptall-2 collection, found a tamron 28mm / f2.5 for reasonable price.. definitely not SP, but i'm fairly pleased with initial results, something about that early 80s tamron rendering
