Nikkor 85mm f1.8 AI



This is a 1977 lens from Nikon Manual SLR days. Have been eyeing this large aperture 85mm lens for awhile. Got it at a reasonable price. The adapter to mount this Nikon F mount to m4/3 seems to be on the high price in Singapore. About 3times more than the ebay. I still got it to cut short the shipping time which may take 2weeks to 1month.
My initial test is positive. It is sharp wide open and bokeh is creamy. Some old manual lens may require to stop down to f2.8 to get reasonable sharp image but this lens is sharp wide open which I am happy about.

Here are some home-made bokeh test.
1) F1.8
2) F2.8

3) F4

4)f5.6

5) f8

6) f11

7) f16

8)f22

Had a realtime shooting with this classic lens.
Here are some of the samples. Mainly in f1.8 ISO200
