Museum Entrance at Twilight

Panasonic DMC-G1, Nikkor-H 50mm f2

This is the front of the new Academy of Sciences building in Golden Gate Park.

I read a lot about the virtues of the Nikkor 50mm f2 lenses, especially the early ones. I recently acquired a barely working Nikkormat FT with this lens attached to it. The lens has a nasty dent in the filter ring, but its glass is in good shape. It is early slr version of this lens: Nikkor-H 50mm f2, non-ai, single coated.

I always wanted to try one, and now I have a chance. I will also shoot some film with it when I have a chance, but for now, it will be a nice, short-tele, lens on my Lumix cameras.
