1937 Carl Zeiss Jena 8.5cm F2, wide-open on the M9 using a custom made adapter. Uncoated optics.

 

The anti-reflection paint had come off of the middle triplet sometime over the last (almost) 80 years. I just refinished it. This made a tremendous difference in flare and contrast. All at F2, straight exports with no adjustments using LR6.

M240 with circa 1956 Nikon W-Nikkor 3.5cm f/1.8 wide open. First day out with this almost mint copy - chuffed to bits with it, as we say over here.

Congratulations, Jonathan, you've produced a lovely picture; I've pondered (drooled?) over this lens for a while now.  Did you manage to find a LTM copy or, if not, may I enquire which adaptor you are using with it?

Pete,  the Nikon  S mount version of the W-Nikkor  3.5 cm f/1.8  has a rear element which protrudes too much  to fit a M camera body. There are  a few converted samples  (I have one converted by Miyazaki in Japan) and the more common lTM version .
