How about a photo thread for both vintage and new (lens on the SP 2005 reissue) W-Nikkor 3.5/1.8 lenses 🙂
Here's some photos taken with a new W-Nikkor 3.5/1.8.
These were taken on Velvia 100F last weekend in Kamakura, the ancient Japanese capital to the south of Tokyo. Cherry blossom time is a great time of year here, and photographers are out in force everywhere.
First we visited Myohon-ji, a less popular temple, to find only a dozen or so photographers (photo 1) doing their thing. They were mostly set up with tripods and waiting to shoot petals blown from the tree by wind gusts.
Next, we walked along the cherry blossom lined road that leads to Kamakura's most important shrine, the Hachiman-gu Shrine (photo 2). Back to tourist central.
The last stop was the garden at the entrance to the Hachiman-gu shrine. We had to pay an entry fee, but the cherry blossoms were in full bloom and there wasn't many people about, so it was well worth it.
