Misc Nikkor 28mm f/2.8 Ai-s on the K-5

Nikkor 28mm f/2.8 Ai-s on the K-5 · 07:40 AM

[[Also cross-posted from the Nikkor Lens Club thread...]]

Yesterday I posted some photos from the Nikkor 105mm f/2.5 Ai-s, which had been modified to mount natively on Pentax cameras. Now let's see a few from my initial walkaround with the Nikkor 28mm f/2.8 (close focus of just 0.2m!), similarly modified.

In short, this lens has stellar sharpness from wide open, pretty low distortion, and fantastic bokeh. It's maybe not quite as good at infinity as it is at close range, but it's still pretty damn good for landscapes. I'm really loving this one:

Great bokeh and sharpness- the photos are tack-sharp right were they should be.

Nice choice of acoustics, I love my Sennheiser's.

Oh and good shots too
