My 50mm f1.4 lens is so old that it will get stuck on my (very old) digital camera if I try to use it. But, aha! What if I put it on an extension tube? Well it works just fine at taking pictures of a grumpy looking Crumb. But it&rsquo;ll only focus super close. .</p> <p>.</p> https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2017-09-28-the-lens-that-i-was/ Thu, 28 Sep 2017 11:59:33 +0000 https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2017-09-28-the-lens-that-i-was/ <p>The lens that I was using yesterday was really the lens that Nikon’s reputation was built on. This 105mm f2.5 from the 1960s was sharp, contrasty, and cheap compared to anything put out by Leica. It’s still a beautiful portrait lens that flattens perspective and delivers a delicious, powdery soft background. It’s light as a feather and even cheaper now.</p> <p>#nikon #nikkor #lens #lenses #105mm #f2.</p>
