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.

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.

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.

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.

@ 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

Somehow, I missed this! My apologies!! :o

 

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.

 

Here's Jackson at f2.8:

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!

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.

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!

 

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!

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.
