No worries. There are two threads actually. You may use either one.

Hold on, Matt. Don't you know you can't use any lenses besides the M-Hexanons on that Hexar RF body? They just won't work right! Grinning. It sure is a good thing that some of us can't read!

Looks very nice! How visible is the light-falloff with color film?

Thanks. I have owned the lens just about a month. So, I haven't shot any color with it, yet. I'm a b&w geek.  But I think that the light-fall-off at wide open is more visible with slide film than with b&w.

It's a great portrait lens. Does the shade help much in backlight?

I bought a cheap 43mm lens hood from eBay. It was also mentioned on this page http://www.rangefinderforum.com/foru...t=34264&page=5 .
If the backlight comes directly from behind the subject, shade doesn't help much as you can see in this photo http://www.flickr.com/photos/jsuominen/333073112/ . But that was an extreme example and I don't shoot normally that way, if I can move the subject or my own position...

The lens gets into trouble when you're shooting backlit with the sun out of the frame. Then it can produce circles and internal lens reflections. In gentler backlighting, it produces wonderful results.
Here's a shot from last weekend.

I like these portrait shots in this thread taken with the Nikkor-S. I guess its "stretched" design (for a Sonnar type) and age at least benefit from a tight hood in most light situations. (as with my RF Canon 1.5/50)
Let's see how the prices of the genuine hoods are, and then decide if the handling advantage is worth it.

I have a Zeiss Sonnar 1.5, on which the Nikkor is based. It's much worse at handling backlight and sun-out-of-the-frame shots -- the coatings aren't as effective, so you get magnificent superimposed images of the aperture blades which, at some f/stops, are shaped like a circular saw.

Thanks. Someone has said that old Leica lenses have a special 'Leica-glow', but maybe old Nikkor lenses have their own glow, too.

If you avoid point light sources or bright points of daylight through foliage, this lens is marvelous wide open.
Jeffery Smith in New Orleans may have more old 50mm lenses Frank S. I know, hard to imagine. Anyway, Jeffery recently purchased a Nikkor 50/1.4 lens. His early reaction: "This may be the sharpest old 50mm lens".
