Woo hoo nice pic bro. I myself am loving this lens that I picked up last month more and more. I think the images are sharper and contrasty - more than my 50mm f1.2. Good to know you've got one too.

We love our manual focus Nikkor lenses! Part 2
- Thread starter cichlid
- Start date
Kinda tough to compare the two methinks what with the different FL and max aperture sizes
The 50 1.2 is naturally prone to veiling flare when used wide open; for that characteristic some may call it dreamy or at times blur or not sharp
I like to maintain that it's simply different and not for every scene
But when it's right it sings

Picked up a 35mm f/2 AIS and 105mm f/1.8 AIS, gonna start shooting soon
105/1.8 is a good lens... CA a tad heavy though... smooth bokeh
Yup, played around with it last night (but deleted the files) and noted that CA wasn't too easy to correct in LR either :bsmilie:
Other than that it's really good stuff!
Yes. It is. 105mm is a weird focal length though. Takes abit of getting used to from 90 & 135. Haha.
Hi Guys, I'm heading to Hong Kong in March and am hoping to pick up a 50mm F1.2 A-is (New), any recommended places to go to besides Tin Cheung and WingShing? And rough estimate of price?
Cheers,
Nic

I've checked out Tin Cheung's webpage themselves for an estimate ... which would work well for you since you're looking for a new one
Here ya go, easily googled out

Ah and since we're on the 50 1.2...
Fuyu drying on a bamboo pole, done the old way

Hi guys, I got a new D3300. I wonder if there is an adaptor to fit AIS lens to the camera which enables meter reading etc?
Thanks

Welcome to the world of adding a chip to your older MF Nikon lenses
Here's a primer to that:

Thanks zi char!
Wow! Nice especially knowing it's from Tagotech! But hor it seems to be a permanent feature. Can try it only w inexpensive lenses. I was thinking of my 50 1.2 haha

No worries, I’m glad to help
Yup I briefly considered doing this as it’s a pet peeve that I always forget to update the non-CPU lens in my D700 when I switch lenses
The EXIF gets messed up, bleah
I personally opine it’s okay if it’s permanent, should add to the resell value or peace of mind that the chip doesn’t fall off anywhere, even into the mirror box (if those are your concerns)
Anyway as part of my consideration, iirc, the 50 1.2 is one of the tougher ones to modify, requiring machining very close to the rear element to remove extra material, and also off the chip itself
There’s so little room or clearance to add the chip on
I backed out… wouldn’t want to perform a hack job
