March, Nikon RF Month!

Can regular film canisters be loaded or do you have to have those Nikon canisters for loading film?

You can of course use regular film in the Nikon's. It is just that some of us buy bulk film and load our own. Get's the film cost down considerably.
 
Rule bending? Taken in February but latent mage not processed/scanned until March. An area owned by the National Trust, of Seashore with sand dunes and coastal pines home to the rare, in England, Red Squirrel.
First "real" roll with the 35mm f1.8, a joy to handle with the F style knurled focus ring.

Looks like I was careless with this one and left some film frame in LHS.

The "new" 3.5cm f1.8 was sporting a 50mm hood I had to hand with 43mm thread and I did get some vignetting so off E-bay, as recommended on Rff so cheap it is silly, the new hood. This looks fine, of course a test roll is indicated. Luckily it is Nikon rangefinder month :D

Chris, I have the same hood for my 35mmf2.5, it works really well

I thought so, but seeing that nib on the canister had me wondering.
 
Well, if we're going to be that lax, I'll just put my Millennium Nikkor in an Amadeo adapter and put that in a Voigtlander adapter and then put that on my A7.

IMO Nikon RF means body as well as soul.
 
Hmmm, i thought this thread was for Nikon range finders and not so much for Nikkor lenses on other cameras.
It's easy to create another thread dedicated to XYZ cameras.
 
There I go tomorrow morning off three days to London.
Changed kit to S2 + 50/1.4 + 35/2.5 + delta 100.
135mm stays home as will not have time for that during business trip.
So will the Voigtlander R2S and SC glass.
Only non Nikon RF item is 35mm Leitz SBLOO, if not allowed I will have to guess 35mm frame :)
 
OK - went out today into the bitter cold, started by getting a frost burn on my finger from filling up the tires with air at the gas station
shot most of a roll with the S2 and 35/2.5.

I've decided that Nikon has a very manly shutter sound - there's no doubt you took the picture. It's like you burped at a bar and if someone looks at you - you say "I burped, it's a bar, so what..." With the S2 (and SP), it's like "yes, I took a picture, I'm a camera, what did you expect?", love it!

pictures will be boring, it was like a curfew was in place, everyone is at home keeping warm
 
Lover of Nikon RF.

Problem is that I don't convert film to digital much, if at all.

Looking forward to seeing what others post.
