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..

Hello - Anyone have any DIY experience in disassembling the 80-200 f4.5 AI Zoom-Nikkor, the final version with 12 elements in 9 groups? I bought a fine, clean example recently which suffers from a loose zoom/focus collar. Rather than spend $90 on a repair I'd like to try to fix it myself, but a web search has turned up no info on disassembly. Any advise or ideas? THANKS!2. From : Dave Fisher (davef1964@comcast.net)

Sue,
Presuming you are talking about the split image or similar devise in the center of the screen, then what you are seeing in normal and is due to the aperture/focal length of your zoom lens. Unless a focusing screen is just plain ground glass, the specification of the focusing aid in the center will be a compromise in order to function with the range of lenses that can be attached to the body. Where a camera body has user changeable screens you will find that the manufacturer produced screens that would give optimal performance with specific types of lenses - long focal length teles, mid focal length lenses, standard lenses etc, - of specific working apertures.
So your screen is a compromise, fitted to give reasonable function for a range of common lenses. If you move your eyepoint within the viewfinder you should find that you will be able to get a point of focus, if not just focus on the plain ground glass circle - presuming your screen has one.
You will also see this darkening effect if instead of say focussing your standard f1.8 lens at maximum aperture, one stops right down to f16 and tries to focus on the same object. The darkening may not be as noticeable, but it will be there.4. From : Sue (s_e_sleeper@hotmail.com)

Help, I am a real novice to photography. I bought a zoom lens second hand and the focusing circle remains dark on one side. Did I buy a defective lens? (or is it my own ignorance?)5. From : Lawrence Massey (greywallsyudio@gmail.com)

Hi Tom:
I don't think there is any reason to favor the older Takumar or Canon FL lenses over their later SMC Pentax and Canon FD counterparts. Antireflective coatings in particular improved during that time period, and lens design and construction didn't get any worse. The SMC Pentax f/1.7 is an extremely good lens, better than the SMC f/2.0 - I believe the f/1.4 was a notch better again. Canon's f/1.8 FD lens is also of the very top tier of performance. If you like the heavier construction of the FL series, look for an earlier "breechlock" FD rather than the later bayonet mount - but optically the later lenses are at least as good.
There are inconveniences in using the earlier lenses: you can use an FL lens on an FD body but will have to stop down to meter; to use a screw mount Takumar on a bayonet mount Pentax K or M body you'll need a lens adapter, and will also have to stop down manually to meter (and you lose auto diaphragm operation altogether). There are no benefits in these earlier lenses that I am aware of to offset these disadvantages.
The Takumar name also appears on some later bayonet mount lenses. In these cases, the Takumar series was a lower-priced second line of lenses offered by Pentax to compete with second-tier lenses offered by other companies (Minolta and Konica come to mind). These are decent lenses but not equal to the SMC Pentax brand. Canon did not ever offer a 'second-tier' range of lenses.9. From : Hennen (travelsbywater@gmail.com)

I have bought a Nikkor 200-600mm Zoom lens from a University on Ebay last year. I Like the images I get from my D5000 camera with this lens. But I have some questions, #1- Why does the camera instructions say not to use this lens with the camera?
and #2 there is a supplemental close up lens attachment for this lens. Does anybody have anymore information on this attachment, and where I could find one?
Thank you for your wonderful site I have learned a lot about my dads old F Series Nikon and All the lenses he left to me.

Hi just purchased in the last 3 months Pentax ME super/K1000SE/K1000 and the Cannon AE1 bodies. Now I'm looking for the better vintage lens to go with the final cameras I will keep. That's if I can let them go. Yes I been having a lot of fun. I bid and won a cannon 50 mm 1.8 prime and a Pentax 1.7 prime.But I keep hearing great things about the Pentax Takumar screw mount 1.8 prime and the cannon FL 1.8 prime. My ? is is there a noticeable difference between all these great lenses. Is the Takumar 1.8 better than the PK 1.7 and cannons FD 1.8 if compared to the FL 1.8. If you have some knowledge in this area I sure would happy to hear from you. I have shot some 400 film with both lenses but my skill level is fair and I'm having a hard time comparing due to some light leaks that are now being repaired thank tom
