NEWS:   Character vs. Resolution: The Nikon 50mm f/1.2 AIS on the M11 News

Modern lenses are often too clinical. That’s why I adapted my classic Nikon 50mm f/1.2 AIS to the Leica M11 using the K&F Concept adapter.

The results are a fascinating study in contrast. At f/1.2, you get a beautiful, authentic vintage rendering that isn't just a "filter"—it’s the soul of the glass. By f/2, the lens wakes up and delivers incredible detail. I’m sharing a series of samples from Freya at home to street scenes in harsh natural light to show what this combo can really do.

Check out the samples at Pure Rangefinder: https://www.purerangefinder.com/blog/11/the-60mp-stress-test-can-the-vintage-nikon-50mm-f12-ais-handle-the-leica-m11
