Of course they all do. Mine's just defective ;^)

I thought every Nikon has a natural glow. I guess it's just my Nikons then :^)

Hey! How come mine doesn't glow? :^(

"Must be defective" *tosses in garbage bin*

LOL yes it's my D70. That glow around it happens naturally! :^)

But what was the camera? :^)

I know this lens isn't for everyone. It's definitely not but that's what makes it so special. I'd like to think I'm a pretty creative chap :^) So I'm having fun with this lens. There will be samples for all to see very soon.

I have the Zeiss 85/1.4 and this ain't nothin' like it. Actually Niko, I also thought of the comparison to a Brownie. But to samples I've seen make a Brownie look like a pro camera. All depends on your artistic tastes.

It's actually very refreshing to use this lens. You don't have to worry about getting the focus right (you won't) or having everything perfectly exposed (It's not). It's like converting and using your camera like a Kodak Brownie. It's up to you to make the shot not the camera!

My suspicion was it was an old Soligor or some obscure Russian lens, I was wrong.
Zeiss has better made rings so it was obviously not a Zeiss lens, I am not sure about IQ though ;P

You should have said it was a projector lens! That would be so cool!

It actually does look a lot like a Zeiss lens...in my picture anyway :^)

I'd love to see a head-to-head between this lens and a Zeiss! Hey exit here come over to my house and let's have a Diana F+ versus Zeiss face off! :^)

OK, all those who thought is was a Zeiss, raise your hand.

You should be ashamed ;-)

Actually I first thought it was some projector lens adapted to Nikon.

D70! OBVIOUS!

Best camera ever :^)

(I better not be wrong *gulp*)

We Have A Winner!!! Aww...you ruined the fun astrophotog :^)

It is in fact the Diana F+ 110mm lens. I got my hands on one and have been trying it out. So anyone want to guess what camera it's mounted to? :^)

I think it's a Diana-F lens adapted to Nikon. Looks like an awful, plastic lens.

I think mb's right about it being wide angle. Look at the curvature of the front element. I'm guessing 24mm.

Is it a zeiss Planar T* 1,4/85? Kind of looks like it.

60mm?

Very good mb your going in the right direction but wrong focal lengths :^)

Looks Russian or older German design, and by the angle it should be somewhere from 20 to 28 ...

That's right NSX it's not a Nikon lens and Jbl it is a prime :^)

It's not a 50mm

Maybe something not from Nikkor?

Zeis?

This seems to be shorter than a 50mm. a 35mm/28mm prime?

No hood attachment. It's all part of the lens.

Original 50 1.8 AF with a hood?

Try to figure this one out
