How about 2 Nikons, 1 lens? lol
I'd do it myself, but I don't have any reverse ring adapters.

I own only one Nikon camera, the D700, which I love. But my Nikon adventure has very much been focused on Nikon manual focus lenses. As you can see... I may have gone a bit overboard... That said, I'm not planning on selling any of these lenses, at least apart from the one of two 135 f/2.8 Q.C. AI lenses I sold. I really don't need five MF lenses at that focal length.

If you're asking me that question I'm afraid there is no easy answer. A great many of the lenses in the photo above are outstanding performers. Some find their way to my camera more often but what I use is largely dependent on the kind of shooting I'm doing at the moment. If you're really curious about these lenses, you might want to check out a thread i started over four years ago on the Nikon forum that is the busiest thread on FM. It is called Manual Focus Nikon Glass and has attracted participants from around the world. Check out the last few hundred pages and you'll get a flavor for what folks are doing with these lenses and how they evaluate them... 51 months and over 86,000 posts. Not bad for a conversation about lenses, most of which have long been out of production. We are having fun...

Where's the 58?

After I switched from Canon, discovering Nikon's rich history was an absolute joy. I have a 50 1.4 from 1962 on an F from the same year. When I mounted it on the Df the image quality was simply magical. So was the 135 2.8. I would say 90% of all DSLR shooters are completely unaware of the Nikon F and Nikon's incredible optical history. Your thread is a testament Nikon's enduring quality!

That's the porniest porn of Nikon porn I've ever seen, Curtis. ...and yet you're missing the 200mm f/2 AIS.

So many lenses, keeping it simple Grindahl ? I used to have a nice set of Ais lenses but I sold them all when AFD became popular and I also sold my F3 pair. I was glad to finally rid myself of the F3's. The quirks were many with those bodies and after using them for many years at weddings, I should know. F100 is my film body now, paired with a D7000. Glad everyone is happy.

*UNGH!* oops...

Curtis...If you ever are willing to part with a lens, PLEASE let me know! :-D I've actually had the pleasure of shooting with the 105/1.8 before on my D3000...worked out great for paintball! If only I had one...if only...

No doubt there are some lenses missing from my MF kit... they tend to be the high price spread. Yes, the NOCT would be nice to play with but at $3,000 plus a pop not in my budget. But I have TWO 55 f/1.2 S.C. AI lenses that cause my heart to flutter when I hold them, mount them, shoot with them. It probably says something about my affection for that lens that I own one camera but two copies of that lens...

http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-GRslkBT12-Q/U2vV1uaNSxI/AAAAAAAAX28/HUECjkKxp5s/s1200/35.1.4.1.2Lenses.jpg


Yes, the NOCT avoids coma once finds in other fast lenses, but I'm not much of a night shooter, so that lens really makes not sense.

The 200 f/2 AI-s is another pricey lens, though a bit cheaper. I've followed a few auctions of the final version of that lens and have been tempted, but it is still in the $2,000 price range. It is also a big, heavy lens. I consider the 180 f/2.8 AI-s to be the poor man's alternative. That is a desert island lens for certain. I also love shooting with the pre-AI 200 f/4 Q.C. with its scalloped focusing ring. I bought that lens in pristine condition for $88. The one on the right.

These lenses are amazing bargains and perform beautifully on DSLR cameras. Given em a try folks. My guess is you'll like the experience.

Nikon F3HP, here with the nearly pancake flat version of AI-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 and flanked by a couple of interchangeable viewfinders.

The camera has the Nikon DE-3 High-Eyepoint Finder mounted.

On its right side (to the left in the picture) the camera is flanked by the Nikon DE-2 Standard Eye Level Finder.

On its left side (to the right in the picture) the camera is flanked by the Nikon DA-2 Action Finder.
