Nikon AI-S Rehoused WPO
Equipment description
Rehoused NIKON NIKKOR AI-S lenses.
All at T1.3-T1.5 (except the extreme 15mm T3.6,20mm T2.9 and 135mm T2.1).
The 58mm lens was used in the Todd Williams film Joker, among others.
Most lenses have an improved Close Focus, so they can be treated as Macro.
They are sharp, but with less micro-contrast than most fixed lenses, which helps a lot with skin-tones. Highlights have a subtle glow, and all brighter lenses have a “milk” and aberration effect when the aperture is fully open.
Each lens provides a dual character that can be changed by adjusting the aperture accordingly. NIKON's original lenses were manufactured with 7 or 9 leaf apertures which could introduce diffuse bokeh. WPO installed a 15 leaf aperture to achieve a circular bokeh that is soft and smooth, never distracting the viewer from what you want to draw his or her attention to.
Completely new is the 40mm T1.3 lens! Built from scratch, it completes the series with this unique focal length not seen anywhere else.
The basic set is 20,24,28,35,50,85,135. Additional lenses are 15,18,40,55,58,105.
