Vintage Lens: Nikkor 35mm f/1.4
My quest for experimenting with radioactive lenses has led me to test this Nikkor 35mm lens. I liked this lens right off the bat because it’s a great all-around lens. 35mm is a focal length […]
Vintage Lens: Nikkor 55mm f/1.2 AI

I’ve always liked NIKKOR lenses – and especially their vintage lenses from the 50’s and 60’s. So, I was thinking, I wonder how they compare to some of the vintage Russian glass I’ve been experimenting […]
