For Sale FS: Nikkor SW 90mm f8

Fotoguy20d · Apr 20, 2015

For sale, a nice, clean Nikkor SW 90mm f8 in copal shutter. At one point, I thought I saw a very small mark in the coating on the back but cant find it now. Otherwise, anything on the glass is just dust.

Two minor negatives to this lens:
The shutter is scaled for an f5.6 lens. That's easily remarked though.
The shutter speed ring is a bit tight

$325 + USPS priority insured shipping

Very nice. If I did not already have a Fujinon of this length that I really like I'd bite. Good luck with the sale.

A couple of updates. It turns out the shutter speed ring is just fine. The little black plastic trim piece that goes between the speed ring and the lens barrel was too tight. I popped it out and everything is as it should be.

Second, attached are the results of a speed test with my Calumet tester. I hate posting this data since it usually gets misinterpretted. Basically, this is a good copal shutter. There's no such thing as a copal that's accurate at the higher speeds.

Thanks,
Dan

How does one use the aperture on this shutter? Is 5.6 really 8?

Are you still trying to sell this?

Fotoguy20d · Jun 4, 2015

It's still for sale. Trying?. Wouldn't say I've been putting much (any) effort into it. I do have a 90/8 in original shutter. I can provide a scan of the scale. Comparing visually, I'd say the f8 wide open looks like the other at one small mark past f5.6

Proper scale for a Nikkor SW 90/8 shown here:

It's just laser printed on an avery label so it needs to be coated (packing tape would do, or laminate it and glue it on. Either way, an easy fix. The scan of the scale is in the flickr album as well:
