This is one of the best vintage lens channels! Hope to see more videos in the future!

I can't speak English, but I just want to comment. Or just a simple “hello”!

The editing on the beats brought a grin to my face! 😁Tres bien!

Fantastic review of yet another jewel.

Used this lens several years on film and finally on a D800E and I think your review is spot-on. During the time I owned it there were MTFs available showing it to be the sharpest Nikkor at f2 and in addition surpassing even the famous Noctilux (which wins on rendering) by quite a margin until both are stopped down to f5.6. The Bokeh, though, to me always looked as if someone has taken a long-exposure while some goblins went vigourously shaking the background, especially slightly stopped down: A bit... restless, maybe? At close distance it's fine and the shallow dof calms it considerably but at mid-distance it became a dealbreaker more than once. I now have the previous 55 mm AI-version on its way to me, hoping that it maybe just a tad more tame but still not lame in those situations. Keeping my fingers crossed! 😂

Your videos are incredible

Loving the pics 📸. Great info

Great video

Super, as usul. Thanks for the great vid.

Great review! In your opinion, how does this lens compare to the Pentax Super Multi Coated Takumar 50mm 1.4?

1:10 "...hold many advantages as the field of view of the human." I guess it all depends on who you believe. The scientific studies that I have read suggest the human field of view is equivalent to 42mm on a 35mm format camera.

Believe or not but I actually use this lens together with extension rings for super creamy macro shots a lot too! It’s an absolute hoot!

Hi, how is Voigtlander 58mm 1,4 in comparison to 50 mm 1,2. Any idea, please

Excellent work! Just pulled my copy of the lens out of mothballs and will be using it once again!

Had some luck asking about this lens on a Nikon user group on Facebook yet some old timers were all like ugh you need the G 1.4 who needs 1.2 and all I said was “it’s available, it’s gorgeous, and so what if I use a teleconverter on it like a madman and use it in DX crop mode so what about aberration and such and such” I think they are just jelly that I’m picking one up soon.

Muy buen vídeo. Es una lente mágica, yo la utilizo mucho con mi cámara Sony A7RV . Es maravillosa, una calidad de construcción única, y un enfoque manual increíble, como si fuera mantequilla.

HE HATH RETURNED!!

Lovely lens, but blooms like hell when shot wide open on digital. Sharpens up nicely at f/2, though.

Is this lens really that vintage ? it was only recently discontinued even if it was launched 40 years before

Fantastic video, wow! Just what I was looking for. Also wonder how the Nikkor 50mm 1.8 S lens compares.

one of nikon lens which can compete with voigtlander nokton 58mm f1.4

❤

To bad you couldnt have taken some shots with the Nikkor 50 1.2 AI-s on film.

Any chance you could do the nikon 180 2.8 afd? 😎

Great video
