First Look With An Old Lens

My NEX-Nikon adapter came in today! That means I got to try out all of the new-old lenses that I have. The photos below are with a NIKKOR-S Auto 50mm at f1.4, circa 1969. I haven't edited them at all, aside from the watermarks. Take a look:

 These two were taken in my dark basement with one fluorescent light.
 Notice how small the focal plane is at f1.4.
This was taken in the back yard during the evening. I've concluded that the lens shifts toward red in low light, and blue in abundant light.

The complete lack of image stabilization is humbling, to say the least.
