Unofficial NIKKOR contest

[Phantomas]

Dear RFFers,

In order to celebrate (belated) 75th anniversary of NIKKOR lenses and praise their greatness, let's run a little contest right here in this very thread. The winner of the contest will receive an original NIKKOR baseball cap. I will try to take photos of it later, it's a brand new cap, black, NIKKOR logo on the front, "75th NIKKOR Anniversary" on the back, Nikon logo on the left. Nice cap. I will send the cap free of any costs. So how do you win?

- Post your best photo taken with a NIKKOR lens.
- Only one photo per member (you can revise it/change it before the contest ends)
- Any format - digital or film, RF or SLR
- The contest will end on June 30. On July 01 I will go through the photos and choose the one I like the best. The cap will be sent to the photographer.
- Only photos taken with NIKKOR lenses please! I'll trust you on this
- Please post actual photos (500px on the long side preferably), rather than links, in this here thread.

I will remain impartial and choose the best photo according to my taste (and if you don't win I hope we will remain friends, otherwise don't post 🙂 ).

Good luck everyone and let's have fun!

Only Nikkor lenses I ever owned were in LTM - 50/1.4, 85/2 and 10.5cm/2.5. Here is my favorite from 10.5cm on RD1S:

I have a 3.5cm/2.5 in LTM and a 13.5cm/3.5 for Contax, but no accessory finder for either at the moment. So, this one from the 3.5cm will have to do. Leica IIIf, CVS brand (i.e. Fuji) 200 film.
