[QUOTE="Sandpatch, post: 844079, member: 10543"] Reviving my old thread here from over ten years ago! My brother eventually sent me our late father's c. 1977 Nikkor 35mm f2 lens and I loaned it to my kid for years who recently returned it to me. So, it's now been used by three generations in our family. I messed with it a little bit today on my D5100 and was pleased. My D5100 tells me when it's focused by illuminating a green dot, but I'm on my own for everything else. I shot these at 1/100 experimenting with apertures between f8, f11 and f16. I grew up with film, so feel comfortable in this environment, but I miss the match needle metering my Nikkormat FTn had. :) [ATTACH type="full" alt="2026-04-03 Azaleas With 35mm f2 Lens - for upload.jpg"]427284[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="2026-04-03 Dogwoods With 35mm f2 Lens - for upload.jpg"]427285[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
