Here's a lens that keeps impressing me, the 28mm f/2.0 AiS. For images like this, I obviously stop it down quite a bit, but when I do, it's extremely problem free, just a tiny bit of CA that is easily removed in ACR.

From my visit to Copenhagen earlier this year. I don't know if this is taken with the Zeiss 50mm f/1.4 that I borrowed from Steen at the time or the Nikkor 50mm f/1.2 that I ended up buying from him, but I do know that it's taken at f/4 with the D810

Two questions.
1) Anyone tried the Voightlander 40 f2 pancake lens on a Nikon DSLR for travel or walk around?
2) Possible to mod a Leica R lens for use on a Nikon DSLR? If so, any reason to do so... or not to do so? I have a 50 Sumacron sitting around and an 810 w/o a 50.

thanks for info. I don't see any attention given the R lenses on Nikon. Not worth the trip?
There are two R lenses out there i converted to F. 50 'cron and 28 Elmarit VII. Both very nice lenses on a Nikon body--I used them on a F3 for about a year or so. Played with them on a D700 but I didn't care for the rangefinder dot.

OK. Thanks.

Adapted lenses on SLRs give up too much in convenience/ergonomics for me, most of the time, but if I'm going to be working mostly wide open or near that, and a particular lens has a nice signature, it's worth adapting. The first generation Summicron-R 50mm is like that.

Thank you, I try my best. We have so much to learn from kids, their limitless ideas and their lack of prejudice. Communicating with them at their level is truly inspirational.

Nikon D750 + Nikkor 50mm f/1.2 AI-S
ISO 560 @ f/1.2 @ 1/50
More an equipment familiarization shot than anything else, but it sure is nice to see how well these older Nikkors work on a current DSLR.
I think I've located and set up about 80% of what I need to simplify operating this starship down to my paddleboat captain's mind.
fun, fun, fun ...
