I recently purchased a used Nikon 55mm F3.5 manual lens built in 1989 and have been experimenting a bit and am amazed at the range ( from macro to portrait ) and overall feeling of the color quality. The nice thing about Nikon is that many of those old manual lens’ fit right into the new digital cameras without the need of an adapter. Many of the images I have been posting lately have been shot with this lens.
