Hi, Chris: Both the NC & Ai have the identical optical formula and lens coatings. SIC was only available in the very late serial AIs versions and these are not so easy to come by. The main ...

X-E1, 27/2.8:

A large number of bikers traveled to the 9-11 ceremony. I do not know if they do this annually but it was something else to see the enormous collection of fantastic bikes. The vast majority were ...

A cold one on a warm summer day. :) Stony Creek, Ct :  Fuji X-E1 & Nikkor 28mm f/2.8 AIs @ f/2.8.

Hi, Rod: You're welcome and glad you found the site useful. I believe it covers the specs of every Nikkor. My hat off the the folks that collected the data and made it freely available. I also ...

Hi, Rod: I also have the Nikkor 28/2.8 AIs which is perhaps my most used lens. The area that it smokes the Fuji 27/2.8 is close focusing. The Nikkor is outstanding in this department. I don't see ...

Good to see a few from CCD sensor Nikons. D40, 28/2.8 AIs Fuji S5 Pro, 28/2.8 AIs

Hi: I did remove one photo & added the first for variety. Nice catch. :) The original (Chicago, North Michigan Avenue) is in the DPR gallery. At times, I travel quite a bit and the tiny package is ...

Time to beat the July deadline. :) Nice photos! Photo of the Freedom Tower, NYC with Fuji X-E1 Nikkor 50mm f/2.0 K serial. Serge

If you can, it may be worth giving it a bit more time. The X-E1 & 27/2.8 combo is my travel buddy. The whole package fits in a zip-lock sandwich bag and capable of great photos. The 27/2.8 is very ...

The culprit of the price differential between launch price of the X-T1 & X-T2 may be attributable to exchange rates. Since September 2015, the Yen has appreciated 20% versus the US dollar which is ...

jerry-astro, awesome capture as are the others! That is one serious looking character. Be careful, you may be next on the menu. :-D Regards, Serge

I have three in this price range and all are terrific performers. 1) Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 AF in NOS condition with B&P. This is the original non-D version with solid build (metal inner barrel) & ...

Quick trip to the Windy City and had a bit of time for a few photos. The X-E1 plus 27/2.8 are a very nice travel package. Regards, Serge Fuji X-E1 27mm f/2.8 Chicago River Fuji X-E1 27mm f/2.8

Hi, Tim: Thanks for the words of encouragement & glad you enjoyed. :) It is a fine lens with old world craftsmanship. I read the following post a while back that put this particular Nikkor the wish ...

I am enjoying this early 70s Nikkor quite a bit. The aluminum scalloped focus ring is a pleasure to use plus it is small and light. It amazes me that lenses of this vintage can be in such minty ...

I picked up the S5 Pro well after the X-E1 out of sheer curiosity. I became seriously hooked on its color output from the get go. It is much smoother and way faster operator than the X-E1 and X-E2, ...

Great photos everyone! I hope photos from May are okay as I have zero for June. :) A couple with the Nikkor 28/2.8 and 50/2 H C Auto. Cheers, Serge Nikkor H C Auto 50/2 Nikkor 28/2.8 AIs, Fantastic ...

No problem using AF lenses or any F mount lens, manual or otherwise. I have used the D40 (exact same mount as the D3XXX & D5xxx) with af-d, Ai-s, Ai and pre Ai Nikkors with zero problems. The ...

Still use the D40 which has been a very trusty companion. I have always enjoyed the rich colors the CCD produces & the small size makes it a breeze to take anywhere. The sensor may only be 6MP, ...
