Patman Posted January 9, 2011 Share #281 Posted January 9, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Very nice, but colors are totally different in these two shots, did you treat them differently in post processing? I always treat each image differently looking for the most appealing image. I guess I still think old, I'm not one of those people who shoot dozens of images and then funnels through them. I see something I like shoot it and move on. I process my images in PS and correct or look for what I call a pleasing image, my only goal is to satisfy me. Thanks for your comment, appreciared. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

el fotografo Posted January 19, 2011 Share #286 Posted January 19, 2011 Test shot with my 'new' 1956 W-Nikkor 35mm f2.5 LTM lens on my M8, iso 640 at f2.8 I made a UV IR filter holder for it using a SOOGZ 36mm clamp on adapter and a summitar to E39 filter adapter.

farnz Posted February 5, 2011 Share #288 Posted February 5, 2011 Test shots with no pp, just DNG to jpeg conversion, from my recently acquired Nikkor SC 1:1.4 5cm Nippon Kogaku. (This one has a serial number 5005xxxx - can anyone tell me what date it was made please? I'm guessing early 1960's.) These are test shots and of no particular artistic merit and all are wide open apart from the last shot to show what a difference a stop can make. Pete. f/1.4 Welcome, dear visitor!

Ecar Posted February 6, 2011 Share #289 Posted February 6, 2011 These 5005 Nikkor lenses were made between 1950 and 1962 I believe. The 4 following digits are sequential, and run up to about 2000. So, for example, if your lens number is 5051000, and assuming a constant annual production (which is very unlikely to have been the case...), your copy of the lens would have been made in 1956.

farnz Posted February 6, 2011 Share #290 Posted February 6, 2011 Thanks, Ecar. In that case I think mine must have been made in 1962. Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

!Nomad64 Posted February 8, 2011 Share #292 Posted February 8, 2011 @ Maggie: do you remember at which apertures were taken these pics, especially the 2nd one which is the one I love most. Asking because I'm trying to make an idea about the Summilux rendition at given apertures. Thanks in advance, Bruno Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno, I'm pretty sure that the second shot was either at f4 or f5.6, judging by the quality of light and the DOF.

!Nomad64 Posted March 19, 2011 Share #294 Posted March 19, 2011 Thanks a lot Maggie, anyway I succumbed to the gas attack and went on buying a 'lux PreAsph myself. Useless to say that I waay happy with it. But you ignited it! Cheers, Bruno P.S. the kitten's grown up and is full of grace. I really like him!

wstotler Posted March 22, 2011 Share #295 Posted March 22, 2011 (edited) Summicron 90mm, Type II, 1964. From a few recent shoots. I'll be shooting more with this glass in the near future. I had DAG perform a CLA and also code the lens for me so I'd have EXIF information in post. Very happy with the quality and character of this lens.

due163 Posted March 23, 2011 Share #296 Posted March 23, 2011 May i ask what a DAG is? I just picked up a m8U a 1964 cron 50 and a 1960 elmar 90 and may need to have the 2 lenses CLA'd cheers Great shots in this thread! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just picked up a m8U a 1964 cron 50 and a 1960 elmar 90 and may need to have the 2 lenses CLA'd cheers Great shots in this thread! Don Goldberg = DAG. Top notch. To each his own. While your lenses are away, consider having them 6-bit coded so you can get focal length in your EXIF data--and to potentially use an IR filter. I've noticed an improvement in color rendition since having the coding + IR filter. Having the EXIF data is key for me as I use this to help keep track of which lenses shot which photos. Cheers!

wda Posted March 24, 2011 Share #300 Posted March 24, 2011 These 2 shots made with the 35mm Summaron, no filters. Shot at ISO 160, 1/4000@ f5.6. It was our first snow of the year and a record breaker. It snowed for 96 straight hours with total accumulations of just over 70", the record here for December Patman, I really like those icicles. Did you make a feature of those in any shots? Re: comment on differences between your two shots. the changing quality of light can account for apparent colour shifts. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
