Here are some tulip shots with a Nikkor 35/1.4 AI-S, to test the close-up capabilities of this lens.
1. Wide open
2. Wide open with the PK-13 ring (27,5 mm extension) - too close for comfort
3. Wide open with K2 + K3 rings (10,8 mm extension)
4. Wide open with K2 + K3 rings (10,8 mm extension)
No PP applied, just resizing.
This lens is from member BenediktW (Thanks!). More difficult to focus than my 35/2 (which I sold to member Alex/hk300), but the KatzEye screen helps a lot. I don´t use the green focus confirmation dot any more, because it is not exact enough. _________________ Markku

The surreal quality of the second shot is amazing...creamy.
All shots are fantastic. I used this lens quite a lot back in the early nineties for a lot of close shot candid potraitures in B&W.

Very good focusing at this 1.4 aperture.
However, the 35mm f/1.4 is mainly noted for is dreamy (ie, blurry) rendition. Its not a sharp lens wide open. It needs to be stopped down to f/2 to f/2.8 at minimum to deliver crisp results.
But perhaps crispness is not what you were seeking (in which case this may be a good lens choice). _________________ Camera (ˈkæ mə rə), n. Device for taking pictures in bright light

#4 for me
I tend to like macro shots with a bit of creamy blur to them. To me they are a bit more interesting than shots that are razor sharp. Post more _________________ Canon 400D & 350D

I can see perfectly focused shots in any nursery catalog. These are from the photographer's view point and appreciated by me. |

Thanks for the comments.
Chris is right, I didn´t try to find best possible sharpness, but a very shallow DOF with acceptable sharpness in the focus point. Soft fields of clour with some sharp details. _________________ Markku
