This is a great list and I penciled it down, as months from now it will be lost in the 6000+ pages in this thread. Quick question, I see people listing the 35mm O and the 24mm N.C as the best choices, but when shopping on ebay, most sellers are not that specific. Are these versions a lot better than others in the same focal length, or are the differences minor. I know it is kind of a question without a definitive answer, but I am wondering how hard I should insist that the 35mm I end up with must be the O version.
The average reader of this thread knows more than most any eBay seller! You really have to ignore the text of any listing and inspect the product images carefully (including the serial #). Then, refer to the photosynthesis or Photography in Malaysia sites for exact identification. Some iterations of manual-focus Nikkors require the serial # because there is no outward distinction.
I have learned that pretty quickly. That website link Curtis posted a couple of pages ago is a big help. I just bought a 24mm 2.8 that by serial number was the last version that has the scalloped focus ring but is the first generation of ai lenses. Perfect. That means it will work on my 810 as well. Pretty clean and all of $77.
