That's my favorite lens. I used to have a thread with images, but it seems to be so old it was eaten by the Forum Monster.

Those are all such fine examples of the way lower-contrast classic lenses render the gray scale.

I know it wasn't the purpose of this thread, but now that activity is quiet, I wonder if someone would post some images made with the equivalent CV lens? I'm always interested in seeing the differences between classic & contemporary lenses.

If I was to sell most of my Nikkors and only keep 2 or 3, my W-Nikkor 2.8cm f3.5 would be one of those that stayed. Wonderful little lens! Here's a few shots I took in Berlin last summer with mine.

Great pictures, jonmanjiro, but I think #3 was shot with a 21mm. This type of distortion is not seen with a 28mm.

Thanks Erik. I only had two lenses with me in Berlin, and they were the Millennium Nikkor-S 50mm f/1.4 and W-Nikkor 2.8cm f/4, so #3 was definitely taken with the 2.8cm.

OK, I'm sorry, jonmanjiro, must be my mistake. I'll try to make comparable picture with the W-Nikkor 1:3.5 f=2.8 cm.

I've seen that particular distortion with my 2.8cm. We sometimes forget that in not-so-distantly past eras a 28mm was considered too wide for everyday taste.

Using RF Nikkors on my M9 with an Amedeo adapter.
Here's a few from the 2.8cm.

From Paris last month. Family pic-nic. Nikon SP and Nikkor 28mm f3.5. Arista Premium 400 in Pyrocat HD, semistand development.
The Nikkor 28f3.5 is a great lens, small enough (and light enough) to go on a SP and slide into the pocket of a jacket or vest. The 28 focal length also suits Paris, streets can be narrow and a bit dark and even at f3.5 the 28 does well.

This was taken the other day in London. I had the lens on a Kiev body to take a few shots for the FSU contest (the 'popolam' category). The film -- Tri-X -- is dated 2003, and the developer -- Rodinal, used at 1:50 -- also about 10yrs old, so it's come out rather grainy. The sculpture is a Henry Moore in the grounds of Kenwood House in Hampstead.

Nice shot, Ben!
I JUST got back into Albuquerque yesterday and dropped off 17 rolls at one of the last decent labs. I used them years ago so we'll see what I get. I've never been disappointed. Anyway, I should have some images from the 2.8 Nikkor (as well as the 3.5 and 5cm Nikkors) posted early next week.

I like the rendering of that 2.8 though!
