Nikkor 24mm f2.8 AIS First Impressions
I recently lucked out in finding a Nikkor 24mm f2.8 AIS lens. It was in great shape. Despite the rainy and overcast weather, I had to go out and shoot a roll or two. The 24mm Nikkor is typical of all manual focus Nikkor lenses. The focus action is very smooth and it just feels like a quality piece of equipment. The technical qualities of the lens appear to be great with regard to sharpness. Out of focus character appears to be fine, but I can't say too much about it because most everything is in focus with a wide angle lens. One *really* nice aspect is that this lens focuses very closely; very handy with a wide lens. Here's a few example shots:
I'll definitely be shooting more with the Nikkor 24mm f2.8 AIS.
