Mirror wouldn’t come down. Discovered a trick - unlock and set bulb (“B”). Snapped right back, wound and fired. Thanks Internet!</p> <p>Great little kit for <a href="https://instagram.com/rhodentette">@rhodentette</a> to document #setlife in lasting film. 28mm, 50mm, and 135mm lenses.</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>
