things that i captured with the old nikon lense....

i put an old nikon lens on my digital camera.
i like it better.

いつも使っているデジタルカメラに古いニコンのレンズを装着。
なんだかデジタルっぽくない感じが本当に素敵。

 because this great photographer I-san
was here with us and taught me about the camera
all night long and suggested me to use 
the old lens. shinya took out the lens from
his father's old camera and letting me use it.
 
というのもこの偉大な写真家Iソベ氏が遊びに来てくれて、
朝までカメラのことを色々教えてくださったから。古いレンズで撮ると
面白いという話を聞いて、木村氏が古いニコンのカメラのレンズを
貸してくれたので早速パチパチ撮りまくってみました。
けど難しい。けどそこがいいのだ。決定的瞬間を求めて、精進します。
ありがとう、Iソベさん!

we all went to ventura to look for
some parts for the old indian.

Iソベさんも一緒にヴェンチュラまで、インディアンのパーツを
探しに行って来ました。

stopped by at K's workshop to say hi.
tanks K!

それでventura motorworksのKの所にちょこっと寄ってきた。
涼しくてとてもいい所。

Which Nikon are you shooting with?

I'm currently working with a D40X and I use some old lenses quite a bit. It's a much more natural kind of feeling. Though I think my next purchase will be a Canon...

I-san is very right: old lenses are great. I used an old Russian standard lens on my DSLR for a series of photographs of a workshop over on Flickr:

I just love the shallow depth of field and crisp detail you can get. New plastic lenses don't do it for me.

Igloo: D50...need a little bit better body. i like pentax but at my level of skill it doesn't matter what i shoot with. i just need more experience and a good eye.

Coresect: NICE!!love those workshop photos. i totally agree.
