Superb. The rendering in some of the flower photos is achingly beautiful. Which camera are you using to shoot it?

How do you like living with the Adaptist mount? I have a spare KS2 laying around I was thinking of converting to full manual lens use.

it is not without trade-offs; while you still have a fully capable k-mount camera, so far, the other mounts have limitations:

AR-mounts will not focus at infinity

C/Y-mounts are supposed to reach infinity, but the two lenses I've purchased so far do not (and I am loathe to spend any more money on that end)

metering using the green button has been hit-or-miss with two of the three non-K-mount lenses I have... so far, only the Yashica 55mm macro meters accurately...

but... the sensor on the K-S1 produces beautiful colors and wondrous textures, as the shots with both the Yashica ML 55 and this lens can attest to....

Beautiful lens, a 35mm moderate wide angle @ F2. The perfect general purpose reporters lens....back in the film days....and perhaps nowadays too.

I've been photographing with different manufacturer's equipment for over half a century and I've never noticed the different colours of the F stop settings as per the Nikkor lens of yours. Biy that would be handy when selecting particular f stops ...when your in a rush. I 'colour code; my different equipment storage...re equipment bags. Green Domke...K1, Black Domke K5, Green/Black Lowe pro K10D, etc.

BTW some beautiful photographs that follow the pix of this lens.

thank you

you mentioned the color-coding of the aperture ring of this Nikkor - the only other Nikkor I have here (55/1.2) also has a color-coded aperture ring....

I have a couple of M42 Fujinon lenses that are color-coded, as well...

Well, that sucks. AR being a bridge too far does not surprise me, but I would have expected that C/Y would have been relatively easy. That said, access to the Olympus and Nikon lenses is not something to be spurned.

yeah, it does suck.... but, I've learned a fair amount from the project so far and even if I can't get infinity from the Yashica 55 macro lens, it's worth it....
