March, Nikon RF Month?

Last Day

Last Day

Hello everyone,
This is my first March Nikon RF month.
Haven't gotten the hang of post larger photos.
So, this will be it for now.
Nikon S3 with 3.5cm 3.5 chrome version on velvia 50
with conversion to B&W.

Peace and quiet - and probably would not care if he caught something!
Nikon S2. Nikkor 50mm f2.0 # 639999:, one of the strange "colon" number lenses.
Roll 23 Nikon Rf Month.
 
Nice colors jonmanjiro.
Jealous of your original 2.1cm f/4 rangefinder lens, though the adapted F-mount one works the same sans rangefinder focusing. Or do you find them different?

Thanks. Both lenses are the same optical formula. But there seems to be more vignetting in the F-mount Nikkor-O 2.1cm shots than I see with my lens. Which makes me wonder if the chunk of glass missing from the rear elements of the F-mount version has an impact. The rear element of the S-mount lens looks like this:

S3 8.5cm f2 XTOL FP4+

At the end of Nikon rangefinder Month with Easter just around the corner this seemed an appropriate sign off shot.
I'm not sure the "three for two" offer is entirely appropriate!!

(There are a couple more rolls to process but they may be delayed)

Strange Meccano like sculpture. Kind of neat.
Nikon Rf Month, Roll 24
Nikon S4, Voigtlander Color Skopar 21mm f4.0 - close focus (about 0.9 - 1 m)
TriX, Adox MQ 9 min
 
Last day of March and I managed to shoot a roll just in time! All shots taken with an SP 2005 and an S-mount Nikkor-O 2.1cm F4 (no adapters needed here :cool:).

the cherry blossoms are in full bloom today in Yokohama!

Nikon Rangefinder Month, Roll 25.
Nikon S2, Menopta 53mm f1.8
TriX, Adox MQ, 9 min.
Oyama Meats at the Granville Market. Not bad wide open performance for a $30 lens - but it was Sweeney'd for correct focus.
 
Some late additions to the Nikon RF month pics - these were taken towards the end of March.
S2, 13.5cm f3.5 QC black paint, Portra 800.

A bit of parallax error. The original meeting house of the Lovely Lane Methodist congregation. The historic Lovely Lane church was built later, sometime in the 19th century and is a bit north in Baltimore.

This from what I call a honorary Nikon Rf. A Nikon F with the mirror up and the Nikkor 21mm f4.0 on it. For some reason this lens and my Cosina F-S adapter works intermittently. Often lock focus or jams it.
Nikon F, Nikkor 21mm f4.0, TriX, Rodinal 1:100 stand development for 40 min. Orange filter on the lens.
