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.

Just posted my first non 50mm image here. Shot with a 55mm 😆
THANK YOU
Anythingt that equates to a 50 or close to a 50 is acceptable.
a 45, 55 is all good.
35 with crop factor is good as well. They all show a 50mm focal length perpspective.
