Test drive...Zoom-NIKKOR 35-105mm f3.5-4.5 MACRO


First introduced in January, 1983 the Zoom-Nikkor 35-105mm f/3.5-4.5 MACRO lens was popular due to the pull-and-slide zoom design that covered a 35-105mm range.  The Macro setting is a 1:4 size reproduction.

I adapted this lens using a Fotasy NK to NX mount to the Samsung NX1. The following photographs were test shots to see the lens imaging characteristics. 

So far I am really impressed with this lens the color, contrast and sharpness result in very good imaging and creative potential.
