Nikkor 25-50mm f4 Zoom Lens on my Leica SL2 Mirrorless Camera Vintage Lens Real World Review

With a name like Vintage Lens Real World Review Nikkor 25-50mm f4 Zoom Lens on my Leica SL2 Mirrorless Camera in the title you just know this lens review is going to be lit... The point of this lens is kind of ambiguities, but all in all it is a solid lens, albeit not very practical. You see, this only zooms from 25mm to 50mm and for a Nikon lens, this is not much zoom range. Typically another thing about zoom lenses from this period are also that it would have a variable aperture and this lens is a constant aperture of f4 through out the entire zoom range. When I first took this vintage lens out to shoot, I really liked having the little zoom range to start with, but after a while I got tired of the weight... For a vintage lens, this thing is a tank! I could not believe how heavy it weighed on my neck after a while. I love using adapted lenses on my mirrorless cameras and this one is no exception. Well, it is an exception since it is so heavy, a Nikkor lens should not be this heavy in my book but it is for the size. When ever I adapt lenses to my Leica SL2 and go out to take photographs with it, the lenses I tend to use are usually vintage manual lenses.
