This is kind of cool...had no idea I could get a nice image from the D2X using the Summarit!

What is even more weird is that no one is even questioning this post.

Cool !!! What adapter did you used to attach the lens to your Nikon D2X?

Nice vintage feel.

I have the impression that there are plenty of adaptors that allows mounting of LTM or M mount lenses on SLR cameras for close focusing through the lens. It basically acts like an extension tube and you have to use stop down metering.

Cheers,

Yes, it IS a vintage feel...partly because that is what the Summarit does best but it is really cool how it rendered the image when mounted on a Nikon D2X. I merely tried it to see what would happen and never expected this at a distance of 8" or so from the subject!

I am busy thinking of other applications for the dreamy vintage look of smaller subjects...any ideas would be wonderful and appreciated!
