Oh, man! Between the photos posted with this lens here and the thread featuring the 10.5cm, I am beginning to develop a wee bit of GAS.

Gettin' a might bit twitchy. Fabulous shots!

A couple from my 8.5cm:

Now the bad news these are on the Leica M8 🙄
Amedeo adapter, just as I had unpacked the lens, it came from Vancouver 😀😀
out of camera jpegs

 

[jondotkom]

Okay, that's it.

I have been trolling around looking for a 10.5 cm, but all your shots have sold me on the 8.5.

 

[ChrisLivsey]

They are a commitment;
8.5cm 504g
10.5cm 554g
both with hoods, but very rewarding.

If weight is a concern, pay the extra for the black-barrel 8.5cm.

I will have to post some images from mine soon. It's a lot easier lens to carry than the chrome brick!

The good news with the Nikkor 85f2 in chrome is that if you drop it - you worry about the surface it lands on - rather than the lens!

Looking through my scanned Nikkor 85mm f2.0 shots, I found this. It is a large stainless steel sculpture on the beach "Frozen Water #7".
Nikon SP, Nikkor 85mm f2.0 and the much missed EK 5231, Kodak's +X movie stock. Developed in D96 which was Kodak's recommended developer for their movie emulsions.

 

[jondotkom]

Wow!

Once again, great new shots posted, but Tom--I be diggin' "Frozen Water #7."

The abstraction goes one step further, almost like some mutated cetacean emerging out of molten steel. It really pops!

 

[maryland_fotos]

Wonderful shots with this ancient lens. Keep them coming!

Here's some more with the 8.5cm f2 mounted on the S2 rangefinder, Kodak Portra 160 film.

That last portrait of the little boy is wonderfully taken.

Here's one with the 8.5cm f2 PC on S2, using AgfaPhoto Vista 200.

A few from Kiawah Island near Charleston, South Carolina. 8.5cm f2 PC, S2 and Portra 400.

Wouldn't be good to wander around this path after dark.

Pleasant reflection in the lagoon, with gators probably lurking under the surface.
