pgk Posted November 30, 2012 Share #541 Posted November 30, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) I really, really wish, Nikon would run a re-issue of this AND the spectacular Millennium Nikkor in LTM or even Leica M mount, both with revised ergonomics (direction of focus and aperture controls in Leica fashion)! FWIW on this topic, I have toyed around with the idea of trying to remount a late Nikonos 35mm f/2.5 underwater lens in a rangefinder mount. It is essentially the same 1950s design that was used by Nikon for their rangefinders with one important addition - late lenses were multi-coated as far as I can discover. The whole optical assembly can easily be removed from the waterproof 'container' in which it sits but would require the fabrication of both focusing mount and aperture ring. That said these Nikonos lenses are now pretty cheap and late mint examples are not too rare - I have one somewhere.... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

menos I M6 Posted December 1, 2012 Share #542 Posted December 1, 2012 Paul, that sounds like a lot of work, while vintage 35/2.5 in LTM are freely available (although more and more at ridiculous asking prices) ;-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

philipus Posted December 6, 2012 Share #560 Posted December 6, 2012 Jacques, that's a very nice photo with one of the lenses that I really wish to have. Can I ask, did you do any post-processing or were these the colours out of camera? They look great on my monitor, film-like. cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
