Nikon Z Album

I mounted the EL Nikkor 50mm F2.8 lens on my Nikon Z 6 and took the following pictures. The EL Nikkor 50mm F2.8 lens generated excellent images at medium and long distances.

High-definition Autumn Color Recording

The photo enlarging lenses are only used in the darkroom. Moreover, it is a projection lens. For this reason, I believe that a lens hood is a must for outdoor photography. If you want clearer images, I recommend using a lens hood to block out excess light.

Beautiful Infinity

More than 20 years ago, I took pictures with an EL Nikkor 50mm F2.8 lens mounted to my Nikon SLR camera. However, it could not focus at infinity and could only be used for close-up photography. I waited for a long time. Finally, I was able to easily focus to infinity with my Nikon Z camera.

Drinking Alone Under the Moon

Taken at F8 aperture. Since it was night sky and almost infinity, I might as well have used the open aperture of F2.8. I focused on the moon.

Lens in the Green

Early summer in May. I used a high-resolution lens with excellent resolving power to take pictures of the leaves of the trees in this season. In such a case, the EL Nikkor 50mm F2.8 lens is a good choice.

Path of the Wind

When I see the grass and trees fluttering in the strong wind, I want to photograph their vitality. The path of the wind was captured precisely by the EL Nikkor 50mm F2.8 lens.
