Nikkor 85/2 results

[merciful]

Beat all to hell, scraped down to bare brass and with marks all over the front coating. Fits my style just fine.

Tri-X at 3200, window light. Lens wide open, of course.

Nice moody shot, side-lit and limited dof for a good 3D effect. Hard to read which mood though. Is it "C'mon quit fiddling with that lens and get it over with." Or???

Great photo and another must get lens. I really enjoy using my old MF 85mm F1.8 Nikkor on my SLRs. Seems to be an easy to get along with focal length. Have fun.

This is an amazing lens; I have a Pop Photo test of it done a few years ago that put it right up with the latest 85's.

Nice portrait, as stated before it captures a mood.

I hope you do not mind me adding a shot with it; taken at the Butterfly Center at Calloway Gardens in Georgia, indoors, closest focus, and Wide-Open. Nikkor 8.5cm F2 in LTM on the Canon 7.

"C'mon quit fiddling with that lens and get it over with."

Yeah, that was it.

Great shots, nice lenses. Ain't buying none of 'em though. So there. :)

Iron-willed resolve, Richard! :-D

merciful,

85mm length is one of my favorite lens for portraits. How does your subject like this shot?

Would you mind if I played with the portait for a another interpretation? And if so could she critque the interpretation?

I am trying to find out what people like in portraits and not just what photographers like.

Thanks,

Wayne
