Nikon manual-focus lens lore?

I'd be interested in anything you have to share.

There is a lot of interesting history on Nikon's website, in a section called on thousand and one nights:

Two extensive write-ups of manual focus Nikon F lenses are by Bjørn Rørslett and Ken Rockwell.

Yes, they're good. I've seen 'em.

Chipper, I've asked my Nikkors to tell me their stories and legends. They're mute. Why don't you torture your Nikkors until they talk?

I Bless mine & they Sing for me, but are too shy to get personal.

Anyone here have tick-mark Nikkors? Anyone have and use the expensive UV Nikkor?
