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..

Hi, I'm a little confused about MC Rokkor lenses which should be the same of MC Rokkor-X lenses selled in USA. Does anyone know a correct criterium to recognise them, maybe by serial number on the optics or any other else that can help me? Thanks a lot ! You can also mail me direct, ciao. Giorgio2.

I have recently acquired a tamron 200mm f3.5 lens which is pre AD2. The mount on the camera fits Nikon and consists of a drop in mount secured by a threaded collar. Can anyone help identify the type of mount ie adaptamatic or adaptall (but not AD2) and does anyone know where I can get a Canon (preferably FD) mount for this lens.
Thanks

HELP Confused jeweller ! Query re suitable macro lens for jewellery photography: I am an amateur, own a Canon F1 body (& Canon FD 50mm1:1.4S.S.C. lens) , and have been looking into purchasing a suitable macro lens for necessary documentation/promotion of my work. As funds are limited I wish to make an informed decision prior to investing further - any advice appreciated. A year has lapsed between purchasing body and lens and I've only recently discovered a light problem : light is leaking onto film - appearing ramdomly on upper side of photo & on contact sheet it appears in the middle of a series of shots which leads me to believe it could be something other than a slow light leak? Any ideas?, hoping repair will be worthwhile or even better not necessary. I've already spent $600CND on the body (which came with a motor-drive) - have no idea if that is a fair price. Lens around $450CND.Have also posted message on Nikon F2 board as I've recently been led to believe this camera would be more suited to my needs.(depth of field preview button,... viewfinder shows 100% of picture to be taken...) Any one familiar with both systems want to offer comments? Finally if sticking with what I've got appears suited to my needs which type of macro? A photographer recommended purchasing a Canon FD Macro100mm/3.5. I have only seen 100/4 advertised. What is the difference, is it speed? Do I also then require a FD50-U Extender for 1:1?????? And is eBay a wise source? Although I am a novice I believe in purchasing quality equipment & wish to become proficient in producing beautiful photographs. (can't afford a professional and not always practical. time restraints don't often offer 2nd chances either! Thanks to all who created this site & shared knowledge - it's been very informative plus renewed my faith that perhaps I had not made a poor purchasing decision, You can also mail me direct. Emma4.

Matt, Can't tell you about the serial numbers, but here's a manufacture code on the back (camera side) of the lens. Check out Christian Rollinger's web site for the full explanation under "How to determine the age of your Canon" or some similar heading: http://www.canonfd.com/ TomR.5.

Has anyone used a Sigma 600/8 mirror that has a built-in fd-mount? What do you think of it? Is it worth buying with £70? Thanks!6. From : Matt J. (Trek620@aol.com)

Hi, I'm looking for an instruction booklet for a Nikon Lite Touch Zoom 120 ED (AF) camera, as it seems the automatic focus is either not working properly or I'm a complete idiot and don't know how to work this thing without the instruction booklet, which has been lost. Please email me if you can direct me to where I might find one on the internet. Thanks!8. From : Eric (evegoe@hotmail.com)

I'm going to ask a stupid question, but it needs to be asked. I'm using a nikon 180 mm ED 2.8 lens and on the casing of the lens there is basically a switch that can be either A (auto focus) or M (manual focus). I'm using an N90 nikon and right now the lens doesn't seem to want to auto focus or manual focus. It's a little bit of a problem for me. Is there something really wrong with my lens or am I just being incredibly stupid.
thanks.9. From : george r (gsr@vidar.com)

has any one been able to measure the performance difference between the 9 element 7 group version of the nikkor 24 f/2.8 and the 9 element 9 group version. Ever noticed any difference?10.

Canon seem to offer both a 34mm REGULAR 1X drop-in filter for the FD300mm and a 34mm SKYLIGHT 1X drop-in filter - what is the difference? Also I acquired recently a 34mm ND4XL drop-in filter - does the "L" signify only suitable for the FD300F4L lens or can I use it with my FD300mmF4? I sthere also somewhere I can read about the full range of drop-in filters for this lens - e.g. I do not know whether Canon did a circular polariser version of this drop-in filter....
