tests from my new Mir-1V
Love the sliding apeture ring, but a non optical m42 to nikon adapter = no infinity focus..
Richmond, VA - March 2019
Neon Anachronism is an experimental series of night images recorded with an ancient digital camera (the venerable and misunderstood Nikon D2H) and old Russian lenses (Mir 1v 37mm and Jupiter 9 85mm). The emphasis is on lighting, composition and mood rather than technical image quality.
Part of the inspiration for this project is doing more with less - in fact almost as little as possible, since the D2H has only 4.1 megapixels. Nonetheless, I love this camera and feel inspired by it, along with the great and underrated optics of some famous Russian lenses. These particular lenses are well known for their interesting bokeh and other effects, as well as producing some very sharp images when stopped down.
Digital technology quickly becomes "obsolete," but in many ways early digital technology's limitations have a charm of their own now decades later. Warning: there will be noise! I hope you enjoy this series.
