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..

The manual Nikkor 1.4 AIS may be far more expensive compared to the 1.8 AIS version, but for some, the larger shimmering multi-coated front element is reason enough to pay the premium. I have the 1.8 AF version also, but the manual focus Nikkors are in a class of their own where the focus 'feel' is concerned. Either optics have excellent resolution nevertheless.2.

**Karen**: I would suggest you take a look at this section on the Nikon F2 site featuring its macro-photography, although it is not a FM specific article, but applies very well since closeup/macro is a standalone system in Nikon 35mm photographic system: http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/hardwares/classics/nikonf2/macro/index.htm3.

I am using a Nikon FM. If anyone has had experience with photographing close up graphics and small items, please email me with advice on what lens to buy. I have a 50mm and 80mm...I'm thinking 135mm?! Yes? No? Thanks and happy FM'ing to all!4. From : Spiros (melig@x-treme.gr)

TO HERMAN:Do you know if the 50 mm f/1.4 has 1/2 f stops? If it has, this is a very serious reason to choose instead of the cheap f/1.8. It may be not an issue on the FE, but on my FM2 it is.5. From : Hermann Graf (hermann.graf@basf-ag.de)

To Randy: I would go for a normal Nikkor 50 mm/f1.8 (not a Series E). The f1.8 costs only about one third to one forth of the f1.4, and has only a half fstop less. Moreover, in many tests, the f1.4 turned out to be as sharp as the f1.8 only when stopped down to f2.0, so why going for the f1.4? The price/performance ratio of the Nikkor 50mm f1.8 is so excellent that one does not need to buy a Series E.6. From : Mark Wahlster (awahlster@aol.com)

Karl I have a Sigma 600mm Mirror which is optically the same as the Canon FD 500mm And it will focus at infintity very well in fact I have a photo of the moon on my ceiling that the moon is a 7"D image on a 11X14 blow up made with this lenses and a Canon 2X-B it is sharp and clear even for a digital print so if the Canon 500mm you are looking at won't focus at infinity put it down and just back away, cause somethings wrong The mirrors on these lenses can get fungus between the layers they can also get out of alingment so Look on eBay or the used sites you can find at http://www.smu.edu/~rmonagha/mf/albro.html and buy a different lenses, Mark W.7.

In replying to Mr Rick's question at the Canon A series SLR cameras Board "...I was wondering if the optics of the FD 1.4 ssc breech lock are the same/better/worse as the newer FD 1.4? or does the newer non breech lock lens also come with/without the "ssc" coatings?...." - Both versions of this lenses are supposed to have the same optical formula and all nFD lenses are supposed to have S.S.C. coating except the 50mm f1.8 according to my Canon Lens Work book. That said you can find a lot of Canon users who think the older BL S.S.C. is the better of the two. I have owned both and currently favor my BL FD S.S.C. in fact I sold off the other. Camera lenses are a lot like rifles the average rifle can out shoot all but the very best shooter, and the average shooter with the very best rifle will shoot no better. With Camera lenses the grade of film, the exact exposure and a dozen variables can have more effect on the final image than if one lenses is 2% better then the other if you want to create better images use what you have more often the old adage about practice making perfect can be very well applied to photography. Of course as with all things YOUR MILEAGE MAY VARY!!! Mark W.8. From : Randy (sesser@mac.com)

I just recently bought a FE for a resonable price but I have no lens. I have been told that the correct (or prefered I should say) lens to get would be the Nikon 50MM f1.4 AI-S. I am not looking to spend a lot of money and the 50MM f1.8 Series E is quite a bit cheaper. Will I really notice that much difference in image quality?

To Kamran: Regarding the F60, and indeed as I've learnt with the F65 and F80, other Nikkor manual lenses can be mounted to the body but the light meter will not work. Which means that you either need to use a saperate light meter or another camera body (with the appropriate lens) to make the metering.10.

Hello. I have a Nikon F60. A simple, but a very practical camera, for the cost. My question is: "what type of Nikon lenses, besides AF of course, would work with my camera?" I know there are many types of lenses out there: manual, AI, AIS, E, and I could purchase some of these lenses, used, for a very good price. Thanks.
