Old Song Coming from a Tube Radio

I took the Nikon camera to my usual fixed point for lens testing. It is not a flat test chart, but a real three-dimensional world. It's beautiful to see the weed-like trees and grasses that grow without any care. The resolving power of the leaves is the scale for comparison. It's the color temperature of a fresh afternoon, when you can hear an old song coming from a vintage tube radio.

Summer Light

As the clouds run dynamically, the air at the usual fixed shooting point moved a lot. Even with a 50mm lens, you can record a fairly long scene like a wide-angle lens.

Realistic depiction

If you close the exposure, you can get a sense of reality. A sound like a live recording crossing the iron bridge from left to right was reflected in the image.

Botanical Picture Book

I want to take pictures like science teaching materials. I need the power to make pictures rather than the performance of the lens. It is important that the emotions of the leaves are reflected like a botanical picture book. In that respect, EL Nikkor does a really good job.

Calm Picture Angle of 50mm Lens

In the world of Leica 35mm format, 50mm was said to be the standard lens. The 50mm lens creates the picture as humans see it. Even with a photo-enlarging lens, you can see such a relaxing time.

Feeling Refreshed

Just walking with the EL Nikkor 50mm F2.8 in your hand will make you feel radiant. It fits perfectly into your full-size mirrorless camera. Natural light is better than a tungsten lamp which in a dark room environment. There is no doubt that the lens itself says that I feel alive.

Nikon Z 6 with EL Nikkor 50mm F2.8

A small and light lens that weighs less than 100 grams. If you put the M42 helicoid in the Nikon Z mount machine and mount the EL Nikkor, it becomes a small precision camera. The actual photos are as you can see. Everything is going well. Let's continue this way tomorrow.
