Photographed with a vintage Nikkor-H 50mm f/2 lens circa 1971 on a Nikon D3s. For years the Nikkor-H 50mm f/2 lens was what you got with your new Nikon or Nikkormat camera. It was engineered to standards unimaginable today. Optically it is as good at f/2 as at any other aperture. It was pretty much unrivalled by any other standard prime lens during its period in production. This was shot wide open at f/2 at 1/200th. 800 ISO in available light.

Thank you, Bob. Your own use of the Nikkor-H 50mm - in film, such as in your study 'Venus's Looking Glass' - underlines the particular quality of this excellent lens. I have the Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 but I'm not sure it's significantly superior. It certainly costs a lot more though.
