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..

TO MARK: There were three types of New FD 100-300mm f/5.6 zoom lens. The first had a so-so optical quality but the other two were vastly improved versions, of which one of them was an L-series. You can get more info of all three by clicking the Canon FD Lenses at the bottom of this page, then click for the 100-300mm link section.3. From : mark K (mark.caruana@magnet.mt)

Sundeep, without film on the camera, open the cameraback, then click the shutter at slow speed. You should be able to see the lens close up.5. From : Chuck Hatche (chatcher@subhost.com)

would like some information about Nikkor 105mm f2,5 AIS and Nikkor 135mm f2,8 AIS. These two lenses have a strong reputation about their optical performance, but what about flare and ghosting? I am a keen night photographer and having so many light sources in the frame has made me alergic to flare. Moreover, how many aperture blades are incorporated in these lenses? Nikon's standard for AIS lenses is 7 blades, but I wonder if they feature more, since 105 and 135mm are usualy ment for portraits. Thank you.7. From : GenHolst (GenHolst@excite.com)

** Don Anderson**: A difficult simple question to answer. It depends very much on your personal type of photography and where your the interest is; further, secondary factors such as budget you are willing to allocate, and what other system accessories currently you are owning also may have to be factor in. Generally, if you are not complaining about size, weight and the trouble of frequently change of lenses; from the prime lenses you can select a combination of focal lengths started from ----20mm f/2.8 for moderately high speed for available light photography as well , a 28mm f2.8 is ideal for general usage with the added bonus of CRC (close range optical correction system), 105mm f/2.5 telephoto (arguably the best price/performance ratio Nikkor lens), 200mm macro EDIF if you can afford one (superb all round lens and you can save and substitute for the equivalent of 180mm f2.8 ED). may be you can also skip this goodie of 200mm macro and go for a 300mm f4.5 EDIF prime. Someday, you may think you will need a 500mm mirror lens for some fun (but I will guaranteed you will be HARDLY and rarely using it later). Another alternative combination can start from a 18mm, 24mm, 35mm and joined in with the longer focal length with similar setup as earlier. But with a modern day photographer, such 'suggestion' may not sound very appealing because entire combinations suggested earlier could well be easily substituted with just a two high quality zoom lenses such as an AF Zoom 20-35mm f2.8 + a zoom 80-200mm f2.8 EDIF (or a cheaper Zoom Nikkor 70-300 f/xxx ~ xxx ED lens). Well, I cannot deny the fact it sounds a more logical investment decision over the many prime focal length lenses I mentioned. earlier Well, there is another factor to be considered - all OLD and NEW Nikkor lenses that Nikon has ever produced can be fitted onto a Nikon F3. Naturally, older lenses are cheaper in comparison but I'd go with all those midrange AI/AIS prime lenses that fit my budget. I speak more for my personal preferences because none of us know very much of your interest or priorities - so, there may NEVER be a "BEST" lens for F3 but rather there could be some suitable lenses after you have identify what you like. Peace.

I recently bought a used Canon AE-1 with a 50mm/1.8 Canon FD lens. The aperture ring on the lens works fine but I do not see the aperture at all. I tried several different ways (trying to look into lens on 'B', etc. Since I do not have a manual I wanted to find out if there is some mechanism by which the aperture may be locked open or should I just buy a new lens. Thanks for any help.10.
