★★★★★ From walks to macros
Post date : Sunday, Oct 20 2019


Translated by Google From walks to macros
In the normal range, which is not macro shooting, it is easy because the focus ring rotates a little, and even if you find some flowers during your walk, you can take a close-up shot. A convenient lens if you have one.

Original Japanese review
お散歩からマクロまで
マクロ撮影ではない常用域ではピントリングの回転が少しで済むので楽だし、お散歩中に見つけた草花なんかがあってもすぐ寄って撮影できる。一本持っていたら便利なレンズ。

★★★★★ Synonymous with Nikon
Post date : Saturday, Oct 12 2019


Translated by Google Synonymous with Nikon
If you are asked to "choose one lens that represents Nikon," I expect that most people will choose this lens. It is a lens that can be said to be synonymous with Nikon. Although it has become common for recent macro lenses to be able to shoot at 1x magnification, the maximum shooting magnification of this lens alone is only 1/2x. Considering that it is a standard macro lens and it is not possible to take a large working distance, I think that there is almost no dissatisfaction with 1/2x. For 1x magnification shooting, I want the focal length to be at least 100mm, preferably about 200mm. In macro photography, even AF lenses are often switched to MF. Even with a high-end AF lens, the MF operation feel is far from that of Nikon's MF lens. Nikon's MF lens has very little mechanical play and makes you feel that you are operating a precision machine. Since it is a typical macro lens, the rear blur tends to be a little two-line blur, but it can be widely used as a high-resolution general-purpose standard lens including portrait photography. There is almost no distortion. As a representative lens of Nikon, it is a recommended lens together with Ai 28mmF2.8S.

Original Japanese review
ニコンの代名詞
「ニコンを代表するレンズを１本選べ」と言われたら、本レンズを選ぶ人が一番多いのではないか、と予想する。ニコンの代名詞といっても良いレンズである。最近のマクロレンズは等倍撮影できることが普通になったが、このレンズの単体での最大撮影倍率は1/2倍に留まる。標準マクロレンズであり、ワーキングディスタンスを大きく取れないことを考えると1/2倍で不満を感じることは殆ど無いと思う。等倍撮影するには、焦点距離がすくなくとも100mm、できれば200mm位欲しい。マクロ撮影ではAFレンズであってもMFに切り替えることが多い。高級AFレンズであっても、MFでの操作感はニコンのMFレンズには遠く及ばない。ニコンのMFレンズは機械的な遊びが非常に少なく、精密機械を操作していることを実感させてくれる。典型的なマクロレンズなので後ボケがやや２線ボケ傾向にあるが、気になるレベルではなく、高解像度の汎用標準レンズとしてポートレート撮影を含めて広く使うことができる。歪曲収差は殆ど無い。ニコンを代表するレンズとして、Ai 28mmF2.8S とともにお勧めのレンズである。

Translated by Google It was a beautiful item as described in the product condition.
I believed in the explanation of "soot because it is a good product" and bought it. It was in good condition as described. I bought this product when I bought a Nikon F3 at another shop and was looking for a good lens, but it was a very good product. My first choice was a macro lens, but I was lucky to be able to buy the exact one. It will be a good season, so I would like to enjoy film cameras.

Original Japanese review
商品状態の説明通りに美品でした。
「程度の良い品なのでおすす」の説明文を信じて購入しましたが。説明文通りに良い状態のものでした。別ショップでニコンF3を購入し良いレンズを探しているときにこの製品を見つけ購入しましたが、とても程度の良い美品でした。マクロレンズが第一希望でしたがそのとおりのものを購入できラッキーでした。これから良い季節になるのでフィルムカメラを楽しみたいと思います。

★★★★★ Rust on crab claw screws

Translated by Google Rust on crab claw screws
When opened from the box, the strong smell of the old lens is more scratched than the explanation that I saw as a fairly old individual. The most worrisome thing was the rust on the crab claw screws. I'm full of anxiety about whether the inside is okay

Original Japanese review
カニ爪のネジの錆び
箱から開封したら、古いレンズの強烈な匂いかなり古い個体とお見受けした説明よりなかりキズが多い。一番気になったのが、カニの爪のネジの錆び。中は大丈夫なのか不安だらけ

★★★★★ If you combine it with the slide copy adapter ES-1, a used one is enough, but a new one is not so expensive.

If you combine it with the slide copy adapter ES-1, you will also need an intermediate ring, but it is cheaper if you choose a used one. Since the microlens is also considered for use in copying, the resolution and distortion at close range are considered to the utmost limit. For industrial use, it is still in active use (so it may be continuously produced for maintenance reasons). There is no loss in having one. If it is used, S / N 740,000 or later may be good.

Original Japanese review
スライドコピーアダプターES-1と組み合わせるなら中古品でも十分ですが新品もそう高くないです。
スライドコピーアダプターES-1と組み合わせる場合、中間リングも必要になりますが中古を選べば安いです。マイクロレンズは複写での使用も考慮されていますので、近接時の解像力や歪みについて極限まで考え抜かれています。産業用途では、まだまだ現役で使用されています（ので、保守の意味合いもあって継続生産されているのでしょう）。1本持っておいて損は無いです。中古ならS/N 74万台以降が良いかも知れません。

Translated by Google It's a fun lens.
Although it is a half macro, I use it by attaching it to a film SLR camera or Df.

ハーフマクロですがフイルム一眼レフに付けたりDfに付けたりして使っています。

Translated by Google I bought it second hand today.
I bought a beautiful item today. I attached it to F5 and F4, but it looks good on F5 unexpectedly. Actually, I bought a macro lens for the first time in my life. The appearance of this lens is small, but it has some aura.

Original Japanese review
本日中古で購入しました。
本日美品を買いました。F5とF4に付けてみましたが、意外やF5に似合いますね。実はマクロレンズは生まれて初めて買ったんです。このレンズの外観、小さいのに何かオーラがありますね。

★★★★★ Excellent depiction! !!

Translated by Google Excellent depiction! !!
I used a lot of AF lenses, but the macro is manual! !! It's very light, with a solid core, and it's precise to make, and you'll find value in the joy of owning it! !!

Original Japanese review
描写抜群！！
数々のAFレンズを使ったけれど、マクロはマニュアル！！とても軽く、芯がしっかりとした描写で作りも精密で所有する喜びに価値を見い出しますね！！
