Seeing through my various 50mm f/1.4

[SVP]

Probably the most used pieces of glass as far as I'm concerned (mainly AI & AIS Nikkors, of which quite few have been through my hands over the last 22 years). Currently I own and use two EC Mirandas and another two Nikkors (one AI and one AIS).

First, the "older" of the two Miranda EC (their serial numbers are some 14,000 units apart), lens wide-open, mounted on a Kodak DCS14n by means of a custom Miranda/Nikon adapter (exposure measured with handheld Minolta lightmeter):


Second, the "newer" one, aperture unknown (ring set for auto aperture mode i.e. @ minimum setting), mounted on my Sensorex EE (Fujichrome Velvia 100 scanned with Nikon Coolscan V ED):


And this is with the AIS Nikkor, stopped down @ f/5.6 on an F3HP (slightly outdated Kodachrome 64 scanned with Nikon Coolscan V ED):

Backyard view shot twice with the AIS Nikkor 1.4/50 @ 5.6 on an F4S loaded with Velvia 100F (back in summer 2007):
