Amateur Photog

I have several cameras, a computer, and too much time on my hands.

* on Flickr.From the first roll of film with my “new” Nikkor 28mm f2.8 AI lens.  Seems a little soft at f2.8, but maybe human error.  I am interested in wide angle mostly because of the way it creates the illusion of expanded space and depth.

Some people feel that an f/1.4 50mm lens is not the best choice for a 135 format camera.  An f/2 lens is smaller and lighter, and image quality can be poor at f/1.4.
If the camera is an slr, however, the f/1.4 lens has one advantage over slower lenses: the ease with which you can focus. My Nikkor 50mm AI f/1.4 makes for a very bright viewfinder on my Nikon FM2.  The real selective focus magic happens at smaller apertures, however.  This photo was taken at f/2.8.

Nikon FM2 and Neopan 400.  I shot this at F/4 and 1/60.  I think I will try something similar next year with Ilford Delta 3200.
