Took this vintage beauty out for a spin today, and wow, what a character lens.

There’s a certain magic to the imperfections, that soft falloff, the subtle swirl, the way it renders light…

It’s unlike anything modern glass gives you.

Shooting wide open at f/1.2 is a challenge, but when it hits, it sings. Manual focus slows you down just enough to really see your subject.

Grainy, imperfect, soulful, I’m loving every frame.

This one’s staying in the bag for sure!
Location: Oahu, Hawaii
Filmed w/ Nikon Zf & Nikon Nikkor-S Auto 55mm f1.2
