Love starburts on long exposures at f8... f11 I get mixed results. f8 will always give you a constant good result, I believe.

Agreed, I've noticed the same effect.

thank you for that small tid-bit of info.

So, pre-AI Nikkors, what? Fuji-X with adapter?

if it isn't an actual F-mount camera, it won't matter.... I've been using all manner of F-mounts with my Fuji's, on several different adapters, with no issues...

I had to do a bit of research on F-mounts and what pre-AI, AI, AI-S lenses all meant....

I'm glad I did - apparently, a pre-AI lens can ruin an AI or later camera because of the way the aperture is controlled (or not controlled) by the camera...

Mundane M 50/1.7... Well, the first shot (City scape) at infinity is wide open:

I did not mean to shoot it wide open, I just left it as it was...

Then stopped it a bit...

I'd say pretty solid first deliberate try.

I tried some with my Minolta Maxxum 5, easy to do as the camera has the setting... but nowhere as a nice result as this.

I did get some unintentional double exps nice results shooting 110 on an old Minolta (the flat camera funny looking).... but that don't count.

thanks Edom! .....it turned out much better than expected but some lessons learned...as in a bit more subject separation n try to get a darker background on the first shot to give overall better exposure i guess! ha!

Thank you, Paul. Yes, the lens is as common as even the 5/2... but what a performer!
