When I get a new lens, I run it through standard test shots inside and outside of my home. I just finished adapting this latest lens, and it's dark outside so I took a couple of test shots in my kitchen. Handheld, jpg, 800 ISO, wide open.
Before buying this lens I read from a couple of users that this old lens was one of their favorite bokeh lenses. Well, being a bokeholic I just had to buy one.
Well, based on this test shot, I'm really liking what I'm seeing - realistic colors, 3D pop, acceptable sharpness, and
super creamy bokeh.
The lens is the Nikkor Q Auto 200mm f/4 non-Ai lens (second version). You are not going to believe this, but I paid only $35 for this like new copy on Ebay!!!
I've adapted over 100 lenses in my lens shop. This one was actually quite challenging and took me a couple of hours to do. As far as I know, I'm the only person shooting this lens on a full frame Pentax K-1 camera.
This old Nikkor vintage 1970's, is extremely well built and has only 4 elements in 4 groups. Talk about a simple / basic optical design - only the MOG Trioplan has fewer elements (3).
Simple, high quality, cheap - what's not to like?
