EL Nikkor 63mm F2.8N

I will show you the simplest photographic system with EL Nikkor 63mm F2.8N lens without a focusing hericoid. I attached a mount adapter (Nikon F to Nikon Z) to the Nikon Z 6 and put in a Nikon bayonet mount adapter (MP J93040).

Early Autumn

October in Japan. It was a ray of light like the entrance to autumn. I stood in front of the usual 3D test chart for lens resolution testing.

I tried to reduce the exposure a little. Deep color expression with a profound feeling. As expected, high-performance lenses for microfilm are sharp. Outstanding precision depiction. Very good presence and realism.

Blue Sky

A clear autumn day with no clouds. I took a photo walk with a light weapon. EL Nikkor 63mm F2.8N lens produces a heavy picture even if you take a quick shot.

Really Go-to Lens

The EL Nikkor 63mm F2.8N is the lens that replaced the old EL Nikkor 63mm F3.5. The EL Nikkor 63mm F2.8N lens is the iconic go-to lens, totally reimagined. Capable of delivering striking, decisive images in nearly any light.

Early Summer

It was early summer, April, with sun rays scattered here and there. I intentionally attached a slightly deeper lens hood. It was the HS-14 hood that came with my AI Micro Nikkor 105mm F2.8S lens. There was no vignetting at all. I succeeded in bringing out the fresh new green color because I blocked out the extra rays of light that were scattered about.

I photographed a young rice plant with EL Nikkor 63mm F2.8N lens. I was able to see a beautiful image full of life.
