I recently located a mint condition AIS 135mm f2 lens to complete my trio of the fast mid-range AIS teles....the 85/1.4, 105/1.8 and 135/2.

View attachment 188970

Beautiful trio!!!

Off of work for the week and was trying out some old Nikkor lenses adapted to the Z fc. Just picked up a Lens Turbo II F>Z adapter for near full frame equivalence. Posted one with the Nikkor-S Auto 5cm f/2 non-Ai "Tick Mark".

Just in time for Thanksgiving

Cheers

Congrats on the new lens!

I am still waiting for my local camera store to start selling Voigtlander lenses in Z mount…
But if that does not happen by the end of July, I will get it from BH.

I am looking forward to your comments and photos (here, or in a separate thread).

The lens is well balanced with its ca 600g and to me is pretty much has perfect dimensions. Very nice lens metal hood which mounts also in reverse. Focussing with the Nikons is pretty easy. You have got three little helpers here: Loupe, focus peaking and the color of the focus box. To me, it seems pretty sharp even at f1, but I am certain the Nikon f1.2 is sharper here (a friend of mine has one). I was first thinking of getting the M version but then realised that using it on the M will be tough - also because of the viewfinder blockage. Also, the minimal focus distance on the M version is a little long. This one has electronic contacts, nice focussing aids and focusses down to 45cm.
