Your thoughts on Nikkor 50/1.8 AI-S Japanese pancake version

[dourbalistar]

From those diagrams the 50/1.8 Nikkors all look the same, but they aren't - the glass types and coatings are different, and the curvatures must have been modified for at least some of them because the distance between the front element and the back element is not the same for all of them.

I love the trichromes dourbalistar.

Thanks, Marty! Appreciate the kind words, and the info about the differences between the 50/1.8 Nikkors.

Sometimes the 0.45m minimum focus comes in really handy.

Thank you, buddy. I do like to shoot some HP5 every now and then... though I am more of a pancro 400 man now.

Super Dourbalister! There's a real 3D quality to these images too.

 

[robert blu]

@ dourbalistar: I'm convinced the AI Nikkor 50mm f/1.8S is an good, I can even say excellent lens.

But when I look at all these pictures I think...it is the photographer not the tool!

Congrats, you have a great eye and good technical abilities ! Bravo!

Excellent looking images are posted here. The M5 looks very cool too.
