Nikon 35mm f/1.4 Ai-S Pros: Colors, resolution, character, build quality Cons: nothing Opinion: NB. I review the K version (1976-1977) adapted AI. A lens with a lot of character and extremely versatile. At f1.4 it looks dreamy, vignettes a lot, ghosting is evident with colors that trespass beyond their edges, but it is already very resolving, the details are all there. Closing down to f2 is another lens, excellent micro-contrast the ghosting disappears, the coma remains for the point lights at the edges. From the tests I carried out at f8 on the D800 it is much sharper than the 35mm f1.8 G ED (f8), already among the sharpest lenses of its period, although still the 1.8 remains much higher at the edges. The distortion is not excessive and creating a profile with the "Adobe Lens Profile" tool solves it. Chromatic aberrations that are not excessive comparable to G-series lenses. Clearly very bright, but I wouldn't use it for astrophotography for ghosting and coma. It has an excellent three-dimensionality, it allows you to detach the tops well even with rather distant objects. In close-up subjects the depth of field is quite shallow but the focus ring is precise and it is not excessively difficult to focus. Final note: it remains sharp even when shooting in 950nm infrared, it also has the red dot for infinity in the ring which helps. It's a very nice lens, reminiscent of the 50mm f1.2 in terms of behavior, rich and full-bodied pastel colors, noticeable blur and just tending to swirling towards the corners. A TA isn't as sharp as modern lenses, but perhaps that makes it even better for portraits or photos where you're looking for a less digital aesthetic. sent on 23 Febbraio 2026 |

Nikon D100 Pros: Colors, three-dimensionality, pleasant grain, classic Nikon menu, all the keys in the right place, featherweight, all for a very low price (even 25 - 50 euros!). Cons: Monitor, automatic white balance with artificial lights. Opinion: Excellent camera: the files are beautiful, full colors, three-dimensionality of the image already without applying unsharp masks or other corrections. The photographs are much more reminiscent of the appearance of film rather than that of later Nikons. As there is smartphone or CMOS aesthetics, one would call it D100 aesthetics. RAW (8/9 Mb) have a good dynamic range and allow good recovery of highlights and shadows if you shoot with low ISO (200–400); going up, the grain becomes more evident but the images remain pleasant. In natural light, the white balance is perfect, but artificial lighting puts it in crisis, so you will have to do it by hand by shooting in RAW or use a lens to balance it. The AF with modern lenses is quite fast, but with low light it struggles a lot; nothing serious: the 6 Mpx are advantageous, if the image is not perfectly focused it is not noticeable and, in addition, the safety times can be exceeded without too many worries; it is very difficult to find micro-blur, so lower ISO! Looking at the photos taken on the monitor can give a vague idea of the frame, but the quality is low; this means that every time you download files from the CF to your PC you drop your jaw and you are stunned. Even in this he can be more reminiscent of photography taken with analogue cameras than with digital ones. In conclusion, it is a camera that gives a lot of satisfaction: if used with some care it produces fabulous photos, does not feel the neck and costs very little. What can I say, why not take it? sent on 21 Dicembre 2025 |
