Wonderful series, #3 is my favorite. Which film type is this? real film or emulation? the blue and yellow tones here are very nice.

awesome! Would you care to share the tone and curves adjustments you made to achieve that look? its pretty much my favorite look and I cant seem to replicate it and anyone I ask always just says " ho just some curves and color balance adjustments" but never actually says which colors they adjusted etc

The Nikkor 55/1.2 underwent several "tweeks" in its optical formula from the introduction in 1965 through to the "K" version with rubber inset focus ring. I've kept the Nikkor-SC 55/1.2 and my Nikkor 55/1.2 Ai. The "K" and "Ai" version focus to 0.5m, and the optical configuration was "teeeked" for the closer focus. The Nikkor-SC 55/1.2 is multi-coated, focuses to 0.6m. These lenses are true F1.2, many other "F1.2 lenses" measure out to be closer to F1.3. The 7 element in 5 group configuration has better transmission than Nikon's other F1.2 lenses, and the 55/1.2 SC and AI come in at T1.25. The 55/1.2 has better resolution over the center 2/3rds of the image than the Nikkor 50/1.4 of the day. When buying used: be sure to check the optics for misalignment. The big-front section of the lens makes it prone to knocks, and 40~50 years of use can ruin an image.

Taken with the Nikkor-SC 55/1.2 on the Nikon Df.

The Nikkor 55/1.2 Ai gets more use on the Df, for film- it lived on an F2AS and the Nikkor-SC lived on the F2Sb or F2 eyelevel.

Posed next to a Nikon SP with 5cm F1.4: which is a small lens.

Buying cotton candy, and a horse. All four wide open with Nikon Circular Polar II. In the third image the cotton candy seems to work as a fill reflector.

Shot I took couple of years ago when in Japan. Business trips to Japan are always nice opportunity to get some shots of people on the streets.
