Nikon DF...

Some more Df magic, this time with a 1966-67 O Nikkor 35mm f/2. Bought this one in BGN condition at KEH. It was AI'd with the factory kit, looks pretty ratty on the outside, but glass is pretty clean.

And a few with the Nikkor P 105/2.5 I bought from Vince.

Since I enjoy my Jupiter 3 so much on the Leica, I thought I'd give another Ukrainian lens a try. This one is a Helios 81N on the Nikon Df. The Helios 81N is a very compact 50mm f/2 with a native Nikon F mount (AIS) that cost all of $60 in like-new condition. Its about the same size as my Nikon 50mm f/1.8 Series E (another gem), but as a much more interesting render.

And now some images captured on the Df with the Helios 81N, all shot wide-open except for the Leica M5 porno shot, taken at f/2.8

Hey, I have that same combination. Sadly my daughter won't go on a ferris wheel.

 

Very nice looking, Brian. We had 75F today.

 

Gosh, I know you like Russian lenses and have vast experience working with them. I just don't know if for 60$ it just doesn't make sense to get the Nikkor series E lens and be done with it.

Somehow I missed the M5 porno....can you repost it ? It did not display.

 

So.....Did she buy into it?

Thanks....would like to see them.

So...you just wore her down........and then she rationalized.

 

Reminds me....I have another J8 incoming. I suspect it will need some love. Had to have a second one for my mini M's.

 

That's all you got.....31 years of marriage and you are retired? Try 38 and no end in sight.

However, everyone here is tickled pink you are doing what you do.

 

I still read medical images, but it's not the living it used to be. OK..I am grateful.

 

That is very interesting.....I spent some time at the Radiologic branch of AFIP in ?1980. Ahh, the good old days. No cameras, no worries.
