Nikkors with Letters [pre-Ai extravaganza]

[sailor]

Just had one of my Nikon F2s serviced by Sover Wong so spent a couple of hours in Peebles in the Scottish Borders shooting a trial film. Asolutely delighted with the results. Both of these are with the Nikkor 50mm f2. A very sharp lens.

Yeah I sneaked one in on you there -- this is the Nikkor P on a Bronica S2! It's from before AI was invented on the Nikon F cameras, so is pre-AI. This is on Portra.

After owning it a couple years, the old Nikkor-O 35/2 still impresses me.

I agree this thread excites me because it just shows that "newer isn't always better". I just added a 105 f/2.5P to my 50 f/2H and I love the way these Pre-Ai lenses render. Admittedly my 24mm is not Pre-Ai thought

I love the early Nikkor lenses, in fact they make up 90% of my Nikon lenses. Nikon got their lenses right when they started the F line of cameras, nothing looks quite the same.
