In love with Nikkor 58 f1.2 Noct

BernardLanguillier:
Dear Nikon users,

As a side note, I bought a few months ago a (pretty expensive) second hand nikkor 58 f1.2 Noct.

Wasting most of my time doing landscape photography, I didn't have much time to play with it until last night when I had the opportunity to attend a Japanese Bon odori (dance festival) in a suburb of Tokyo.

I was just so pleased with this lens in difficult low light situations. It was definitely a bit tricky to manually focus, but the quality of the bokeh on these few sharp images is just gorgious. The images have a Leica feel to them that I have seen in only a few Nikon images.

I would urge any of you doing low light photography to try one of these babies out if you ever have the chance!

Cheers,
Bernard

Hi Kenneth,

They are in the pipe, I am busy adding some PS lens blur to the images...

Some of the most representative images are of friends and I usually don't post private images on the web though.

Cheers,
Bernard

Kenneth,

Some samples for you:





Cheers,

Thanks. They're stunning. What was the ambient light like? The flute player picture reminded me of the bokeh I get with my Minolta 85mm 1.8 G - I'm going to have to get back to portraits again.
Thanks again
Ken
