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..

Unlike the Message designed for camera of various makes, this MB is one-for-all type and thus I hope this section can be maintained as a peaceful zone. The maintainer of this site reserved all the right to censor or even delete any un-related, excessively hostile messages posted herein. This site is specifically created just for lenses.

Good day. Yes. The standard lenses are usually the most diverse section of any optical system in any 35mm photographic system and that was the main reason why fo so long, I have not began site construction for the MF-Nikkor 50mm lense section. I have mailed nico van dijk my compiled materials as well as contributing images from various sources (standard lenses of different periods) and hope Nico can have all my materials collected over the years. For those of you who may have a few extra things to spare on this specific item, do consider feeding Nico. Creating a site with substance requires plenty of research and read-on knowledge, if you can lend a hand to help him, that will be nice... Thanks.

Hello, I am a member of the Nikon Historical Society and of the Nikon Club Nederland, living in the Netherlands. I am collecting the Nikkor 55mm/1.2. On www.nikonlinks.com you may find the story of the lens. I've written an updated story with a lot of pictures. If you want to publish it on your magnificent site I would be proud.
Warmest regards from Holland,
Nico van Dijk.

I recently bought a Nikkor 80-200 f/4.5 AI version zoomlens. The optics are in perfect condition but the mechanical system shows signs of wear. Especially the focus/zoom ring moves very light and has clearance. I am planning to disassemble and repair, if possible. Can anyone help me find an assembly drawing, service manual or eploded view?

Lech: your lenses should use the Yashica/Contax mount, I do not know if there is any digital model in the Yashica or Contax line that can accept those lenses, you could check their websites. Anyway, that lenses have far better uses than the garbage heap. If you want a digital camera, and can't use them, sell them.

I have an old Yashica FX-3 Super and a set of lenses. Can anyone tell me on which makes of DIGITAL SLR will my lenses fit? Or are they just good for the garbage heap? BTW, I see under the Digital SLRs all kinds of acronyms for lens fittings but I don't know what is the spec for the Yashica lens fitting. Thanks for your time/attention.

I'm looking for a place to have my 7000AF repaired. It fell from it's seemingly stable perch and the rewind apparatus was broken off.

Where can I find the circuit details and /or information on how to control the iris in any F-mount lens? I plan to use such lens on box that has no standard Nikon body electronics; but would like to make my own control system.
Thanks, nahum

Hi Arsalan:That is normal with a Canon FD lens: the apertures are locked when the lens is off the camera.

To check it, put the lens on the camera, set it to a small aperture and fire the shutter while looking through it from the back. You should see a small opening, and you should not be able to detect any change in the aperture size while the shutter is open.
