grant.goodes replied to the thread Single coated lens.Yeah, and go for the deepest one you can get (obviously without vignetting). Too often the "correct" manufacturer shade is _way_ too...

grant.goodes replied to the thread Single coated lens.I've never had the opportunity to use a completely uncoated lens, but yes, the math of 4% transmission-loss per lens-surface doesn't...

grant.goodes replied to the thread Single coated lens.Good candidates for this sort of apples-to-apples comparison are the early Nikkors which were often upgraded to "C" (multi-coated)...
-
grant.goodes replied to the thread Single coated lens.I wouldn't say that early, single-coated lenses are "preferable", but they do as you state have reduced contrast over more modern...

grant.goodes replied to the thread what waS your last photography related purchase?.Just got a NOS Nikon Soft 1 filter (62mm to fit my Nikkor 105/1.8) for the super-low price of $15. Apparently Nikon had to stop making...

grant.goodes replied to the thread Just sharing my favorite pair of SLRs.Like Chris, I have a problem with "collecting" (aka acquiring without limit) items for my hobbies. I have more than 8,000 CDs, but I do...

grant.goodes replied to the thread Old Nikon Glass.Agreed, but the poster said they have an FM which _does_ work with pre-AI lenses as it has a flip-out aperture follower tab.

grant.goodes replied to the thread Nikon AI conversion.I paid $149 for my factory-AI'ed Sonnar, and aside from rub marks on the focus-ring, it essentially looks and behaves like new. You can...

grant.goodes replied to the thread Nikon AI conversion.Until I bought my AI'ed Sonnar last year, I only ever owned the Xenotar 105/2.5 (always an AiS version), and like you mostly shot...
-
grant.goodes replied to the thread Nikon AI conversion.The switch from Sonnar to Xenotar occurred in 1971 solidly in the pre-AI era. Sonnar 105/2.5 lenses have the silver snout and quite...

grant.goodes replied to the thread Old Nikon Glass.The 24/2.8 NC is a particularly great early Nikkor, the first lens with CRC (Close-Range Correction), and has a truly modern/advanced...
-
grant.goodes replied to the thread Old Nikon Glass.One "pro-tip" is to try out the K1 ring with a Nikon 24/28 lens: This is a mere 5.8mm extension, but with a wide-angle lens will give...
-
grant.goodes replied to the thread Old Nikon Glass.Yes, the 28/2.8 AiS is a particularly good wide-angle from the "classic" Nikkor era, a really clean design with a great close-focus...
