Happy SUNday! – Nikkor Lens Test | Chasing Classic Cameras with Chris

Nippon Kogaku W-Nikkor C F3.5 2.8cm wide angle lens (1954).

One of the best and most useful features of having a mirrorless digital camera like this Fujifilm X-A10 is the ability to test and use some of my vintage lenses by using an adapter between the lens and the body.

It was a generally cloudy day with the sunlight filtered through some cirrus clouds so no harsh shadows and low contrast images.

My trusty boulder and gravel test subjects.

Here’s where a 28mm wide angle lens comes in handy.

I’m very happy with the resolution and detail of this vintage Nikkor glass.

I used a Fotodiox Lens Mount Adapter M39 – FX to mount my Nikkor lens to my Fujifilm camera body. Fotodiox makes a wide range of quality adapters for use on almost any mirrorless body and vintage lens. You can find them at https://fotodioxpro.com/collections/lens-mount-adapters

Thanks for stopping by and have a beautiful day! – Chris

I’m not familiar with M39 lenses but I have adapted M42 and Minolta SR lenses to my Fujifilm X-T2. The Nippon Kogaku W-Nikkor C F3.5 2.8cm wide-angle lens on the X-A10 looks like a very compact kit.

  Yes, extremely compact and fun to use as the 28mm wide-angle seems just right for this camera.
