Rainy chrysanthemums - a photo on Flickriver

            That is the downside-up flower that intrigued me to do the moist garden umbrella macro session in the first place.
After not having used the 55mm Micro-NIKKOR for a while, it still, once again, amazes me how sharp this vintage gem is, distortion free with this natural and consistent color rendering. No wonder that the latest AI-S version from 1979 is still manufactured today (as far as I know; new copies are available at least), unmodified in it's original formular, for 45 years. 😳
I understand that companies want to sell new gear, but to break with backwards compatibility in the Z system, not having a native adapter with mechanical aperture coupling for all the stellar AI and AI-S lenses? But hey, at least the SLR design still does it, which I am personally preferring anyway. 
This lens has been and will be around for a long time to come, for photo people to enjoy, which I find great. 😊
