I recently acquired a Nikon AI lens with no "rabbit ears" metering prong needed for older Nikons like my Nikkormat FT2.

The previous owner removed it because he did not need it for his Nikon FE, but he left the screws on the aperture ring. That was good.

Anybody have a metering prong sitting in their parts box?

Thanks,

John

Coincidentally, I was just browsing the Grays of London website, and noticed that they had these for sale, NOS spare parts.

Thanks. Due to the total cost involved, this will be my last option. Hoping to find a junker lens I can cannibalize from eBay for much less.
