Old Nikkor-s’s

    Thought I would share this with whoever is interested!

    Managed to do an image quality test on my 2 old Nikkor’s.
    50mm 1.4 & 35mm 2.8 on a 5D and the quality is quite good,
    Samples to follow. Have yet to try them outdoors so it will be interesting
    to see how they perform under general use!

    I bought them recently to replace my expensive Canons and
    as a cheap stop-gap while my Carl Zeiss was away being converted
    to EF.

    Got them for little money any are in excellent cosmetic condition
    with the 50mm showing a slight pit in the front element less than .5 of a
    mill.

    They are adapted from Nikon F to Canon EF and are manually
    focussed and manually adjusted aperture. It is actually kind of a buzz
    using these oldies and they look quite strange mounted on the 5D.

    The adapter I used is a focus confirm version so when the subject
    is in focus the camera ‘beeps’.
