Those are some great color shots Jon - quite interesting and funny to see this festival from a gaijin's perspective ;-) I bet you had a great time shooting these!

Thanks! I did have a great time indeed shooting those shots, Dirk!

I lucked into two good deals on S mount versions a year ago. One was completely disassembled. After putting it back together I sold it for more than twice what I paid. The other needed some cleaning but was otherwise in nearly new condition. Of course, I had been looking for months for an affordable copy before these two deals came around. Just proves that patience sometimes pays off. I love using it on my SP. Have a roll in there now I need to finish off and develop.

You guys are killing it with the 35/1.8. What a special lens with interesting signature and character. Funny thing is that for an old single coated lens is how modern looking the rendering can be at the same time.

I now have two 35/1.8 Nikkors in LTM. I ended picking up a second one at a good price. There is oil on the blades and the front element has a coating scratch, but my main lens is perfect. I had to buy the second one because not only is it a rare lens, the price was crazy low, even despite the imperfections.

I will likely get the second 35/1.8 recoated by John at Focal Point.

This is a great thread. Thanks.

Cal

Here's a splash of colour for an otherwise predominantly B&W thread. Shot on Fuji Superia 400 XTRA with a Leica IIIf and LTM W-Nikkor 3.5cm F1.8 "classic".

These are all so good.
That ship scene!.... Totally delicious. What a sight!

not much artistic value. just ran a roll to see what's up. 😱😱😱
very nice lens but it has some edging on the bokeh balls wide-open. i see plenty of potential in this lens when shot wide-open and with the subject near the minimum focus distance but framing can be a pain.:bang:

i am really liking this lens a lot.🙄 I will shoot with this more from now.

Well done, Richard. What film/camera combo are you using?

Hello, Peter!
Just the S3 and Superia 100 🙄

I wished it had parallax correction but maybe I am asking too much😱😱😱
