Sometimes we all become too interested in the camera body because that is where most of the gadgets are. But it is the lens that makes the picture and most often the lens has a more direct influence on the eventual image quality 'output'. If economy is a consideration, you should consider buy a less expensive camera body rather than less expensive lenses. If you buy a SLR camera with only one lens is also not logical because you might as well buy a cheaper camera with a fixed, non-interchangeable lens like a P&S. But modern lenses has such fantastic features such as high power zoom with previously unimaginable zoom range which actually makes a single-lens-do-all photographic system viable. All those messages posted on the variuos Message Boards for SLR Models are not short of interesting comment and remarks on lenses. Well, not to confuse others who are just interested in cameras, I thought there is a neccessity for a separate Message Board for those who are interested in discussion on various issues on lenses as well..

On behalf of a good friend of mine, she received some package of cameras and lense from his late uncle. It indicates camera with a Nikon name plate and P-Nikkor, S-Nikkor. Heavy camera, where can I find the right models ?

Hi Paul: Unless you've done this before (I assume from your question that you haven't), separating the focus helical of an SLR lens can be frustrating. Not only do you have to get the focus helical reinstalled on the correct thread of a multi-start helix, but there is a second one between the focus ring and the rear barrel that also needs to be in the right place. Get it wrong and the lens may not make it all the way to infinity or to its original close focus limit.

If you want to learn and are willing to invest the effort and the risk, it can be done. Whether it's a good idea depends on your skill and patience and the value of the lens.... rick :)=

Hi: I just bought a Nikkor 135mm f2.8 AI lens on ebay. It has some mnor scratches, but the focussing is quite stiff. It is smooth, but gives a fair aount of resistence. The resistence is uniform across the focussing range. Id there any way to fix this at home, or do I need to have a professional look at it?
Thank you. PG

No, that's not normal, Stephen. Not sure what would cause it to do that ... especially the part about it reopening when you wind the shutter sounds odd. Does it do this on more than one camera? rick :)=

I have a Canon FD breech mount 50mm 1:1.4 ssc lens that when set on 'A' will stay closed down to the aperature set after pushing the shutter. It will stay this way until the winder is moved to advance to the next frame, when it will open to the maximum for focusing again. Is this normal? None of my other lens do this. Thanks for any help with this issue.

ahmed: the 300TL would work in manual mode only. IMHO it would be just a waste, there are better units to mate with a T70 or F-1N.
