Beautiful crispy pics. Very sharp. You provide excellent information many young photographers may not be aware of. If they are watching; good chance they are looking for ways to inexpensively better their photography and don’t mind working with Manuel equipment.
I also have this lens. I just love the screw on lens cap, the integrated lens hood, and the silky-smooth focusing dampening. Oh, and the glass of course. One difference mine has though is that my lens cap is all silver with NIKKOR in black letters.
I just love the old Nikkor glass. As you showed here, they can produce wonderful results even without image stabilization. Now, Luminar 4 is great software as I had version 3 and it worked great but it was hard on my computer and I couldn’t work very fast. I moved back to Darktable and have not regretted it. I have used most editors at this point and live Darktable for many reasons the most. I did live Luminar though, too bad it just bogged my computer down so much or I might atill be using it. I also liked Exposure as well as Lightroom… I am glad to see that I am not the only hold out still not firmly in the Adobe camp. Haha. Great video!!!
Hey David, I could not give money every month to Adobe for editing software :) Your Leica CL video today is great...The last time I watched your Leica SL camera video, it was so wonderful I bought the SL :)
Carmine, I’m an enthusiast who is getting back into photography after about a 10 year hiatus. I have this lens (which was “AI-ed” via a Nikon provided kit at some point in the past. After watching this video I can’t wait to try it out with my new to me Nikon D700. Really appreciate your enthusiasm and your practical advice. Thanks for the tips and sharing your photos.
Wait a minute...here is a comment I read. Therefore, I did not get one.. "No, that camera is pretty much a cheap cellphone sensor in a clunky big plastic housing. Avoid at all cost, the sensor in just about any main brand mobile phone made in the last couple years will be better... and mobile phone cameras are generally bad for film scanning so this 'minolta' will be many many times worse." *www.reddit.com/r/AnalogCommunity/comments/1cgrkr6/minolta_mnd65_56_mp_autofocus_for_film_scanning/
I have this lens , I have never noticed the Nikon as well as Nikkor , I also like the images it produces.
I have this lens believe it or not I’ve used it on a Nikon D50 and it’s insane results. The glass don’t lie.
