What is this 105mm f2.5 lens.

[BillBingham2]

William,

Do not worry, the 105/2.5 is available in LTM also!!! They are on da'bay often in a wide range of prices. I use mine on my T and my M6 and love it (with an adapter of course!!!)

I posted last week some results with a LTM Nikkor 105mm/2.5 lens. The results were very nice indeed [to my eyes]. I have an SLR Nikkor 105mm/2.5 that I never sold. The lens is simply too good to be sold off.

you didn't win that - you stole that!

congrats.

Yeah, it was a good price. Now I can shop for a Nikon s2 when I start looking for a Nikon and save money for not having to get an s3 too.

Make sure your S2 comes with a 50/1.4. It's almost always cheaper to get the lens as part of the camera than separately.

My 85 is coming from Portugal, I hope I don't have too much of a wait.

Vince, yes, when I shop I will look for the camera and lens kit. I have find a 105 along the way and be happy with a two lens Nikon kit.

 

[VinceC]

You can always put a Kiev-mount Jupiter-12 on a Nikon if you ever need a 35mm lens.

 

[rover]

That is a very good idea actually, and not too expensive at all.

So, I read over at Nelson, your post or Brians, the full S2 finder more or less approximates 35mm so an external finder may not be necessary?

I second the J-12. I have one on my SP right now. Is that sacrilege?

It's fine. Your J-12 will get over that 🙂

Wow, I love the renewed interest in Nikon optics. I've said it before but the 105 is spectacular to my eyes. I also have the Nikkor 50 and 35.

Rover, Don't forget about the CV options in Nikon S-Mount. They are quite nice with a more modern, contrasty look than the old Nikkors.

The Jupiter 12 works great on a Leica IIIf RD as well. See my avatar.

Do be careful. Some J-12s can scratch the frontplate of a Nikon (probably a Kiev, too).

I got a lovely J-12 from Brian S. and use it pretty frequently on my SP. The J-12 is so light you can carry it all day.

 

[NIKON KIU]

Kiu, how is your J-12 doing (if you got it) ? 🙂

Not yet. Its mounted on a beater S2, I am waiting for the mailman.

[BillBingham2]

I have a J-12 on order for my S2, it might be a deep part of my mind trying to get a fuller set to justify a SP or S3.....GAS pains...
