[QUOTE="Jip, post: 632975, member: 43887"] Hey guys, as I told earlier I've bought a Nikkor 28mm 1:2.8 Ai-S Tried it out yesterday and this morning, here are a few initial 'test shots' (I don't believe in test shots, I just take photos... and since they are the very first let's call them test shots! haha) My initial thoughts: The lens has low contrast especially at close focussing range, where sharpness is amazing but contrast quite low wide open, not a problem digitally, actually nice since details in the highlights and shadows are more easily captures without having muddy shadows or blown out highlights. On film however this can proof problematic, you'd need to compensate considerably during your enlargement process. Something totally different compared to my Leica Elmarit-M 28mm 1:2.8 ASPH. in a real nice way actually! I like low contrast lenses on digital cameras, as long as the micro contrast is there, and sharpness is good low contrast lenses actually help increase the quality a lot, lowering contrast in post processing is difficult, increasing it is not. All with Nikon Df, and Nikkor 28mm 1:2.8 Ai-S In order of appearance: 1 1/125 ISO 200 F2.8 2 1/125 ISO 200 F2.8 3 1/125 ISO 3200 F2.8 4 1/500 ISO 100 F5.6 [ATTACH=CONFIG]264097._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]264096._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]264095._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]264094._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
