Nikkor S.C. 5cm 1:1.4 Photos only

[ferider]

Very nice Brian. That last shot has real "Nikkor glow" 🙂 My favorite 50.

 

[Brian Legge]

Thanks! I think my general purpose favorite is still the Yashinon 5cm 1.8 but this Nikkor is really interesting. Once I can predict what it will do at different apertures I'll probably like it even more. 🙂

A few more from the first roll:

The "glow" disappears at f1.7 or so, Brian. Then it becomes sharp and contrasty. Its close up performance is legendary. And, because a Sonnar, it has very little distortion.

Ahh, good to know, I was trying to figure out exactly where that change happened. 🙂

Truly beautiful landscape above !

Erik - this is a wonderful impression of a moment!
I love the composition with curtain and table + the interaction between flower in foreground and hand in door - all so simple elements in a photo but brought together nicely here, others, including myself, would have not even recognised.

Dirk, I am speechless because of your kind words. Thank you.

Erik.

Does anyone have photos taken with the 5cm 1.4 (S-mount) on a Digital M? Curious about getting an Amedeo adapter to use with mine.

Question: are there any significant differences between the LTM, S-mount, and F-mount versions of the Nikkor-S 50 1.4?

When I started this thread I didn't own my 50mm D.R. Summicron. Since acquiring the D.R. Summicron, I have neglected the Nikkor 50/1.4. My bad. I need to use the Nikkor more often.

As for the question above: In theory, the two rangefinder versions should be identical. However, the SLR (F mount) version is a different formula and has been through many versions. Only a visual comparison of photos could detect similarities and differences between the rangefinder and SLR lenses.

I've had both the LTM and S-mount. They are about 90% the same with the only difference being minimum focus. The LTM will technically focus down to 0.6 losing coupling at 0.7. The S-mount you see above in the Amodora mount will only focus down to 0.9 meters.
