I feel like my MFNG addiction is coming back
I really love the feel of the all-metal Nikkors. Currently have the 55 1.2 and 105 2.5 PC (both have metal focusing rings) Can you guys please post a list of ALL Nikkors wider than 55mm that have metal scalloped focusing rings?
Unlike Curtis, I'm missing a few, but I own those which I use most, and sold off whatever I did not ake with me.
From he widest to the 55mm there are:
8mm f2,8 Fish Eye Nikkor. Scalloped focus ring, scalloped aperture ring
(the 16mm f3,5 Fish Eye Nikkor does have a scalloped aperture ring, but a rubber diamond pattern focus ring)
20mm f3,5 Nikkor-UD (widest rectilinear Nikkor with scalloped focus ring and scalloped aperture ring) ((doesn't need cut aperture ring to fit on my D3))
24mm f2,8 Nikkor-N or Nikkor-N.C (first Nikkor with CRC)
28mm f3,5 Nikkor-H or Nikkor-H.C ((doesn't need cut aperture ring to fit on my D3))
28mm f2 Nikkor-N or Nikkor-N.C (owned one. Amazingly sharp, but barrel distortion. Nice bokeh)
35mm f2,8 Nikkor-S ((doesn't need cut aperture ring to fit on my D3))
35mm f3,5 PC Nikkor (I have to mention that this one, and the earlies f2,8 lenses are of little use on a modern camera because the prism housing prevents shifting the lens up. he lens was designed to be used on the plain prism Nikon F and little thought was given to the design of metered prisms and the extra space towards he front needed to interac with the aperture prongs which oddly enough were already available on the lenses when the first version of the PC Nikkor was released) ((doesn't need cut aperture ring to fit on my D3 because it is a preset lens))
35mm f2,8 PC Nikkor ((doesn't need cut aperture ring to fit on my D3 because it is a preset lens))
35mm f2 Nikkor-O or Nikkor-O.C
35mm f1,4 Nikkor-N or Nikkor-N.C (both versions have a multicoated front element, the Nikkor-N has 9 aperture blades where the Nikkor-N.C has 7. This is the lens with Thorium glass)
45mm f2,8 GN Nikkor
5cm f2 Nikkor-S (earlier versions with 9 aperture blades, later ones with 6) ((doesn't need cut aperture ring to fit on my D3))
50mm f2 Nikkor-H or Nikkor-H.C
50mm f1,4 Nikkor-S or Nikkor-S.C
After these you have the 55mm f3,5 Nikkor-P (or Nikkor-P.C) and the 55mm f1,2 Nikkor-S (or Nikkor S.C). here is also a preset 55mm f3,5 Micro Nikkor, which actually does 1:1 reproductions wihout tubes
