Who is "we"? As if I'd be bothered providing you with chapter and verse from a long defunct Aus. magazine!  If you can't accept something written in good faith, go somewhere else. Then, there's ...

"This is the really offensive bit which has led me to reply to you - the bit about anyone looking for a 35mm FOV vs 50mm being an idiot, old or not. Adapted Lens Talk can do quite nicely without ...

Interesting. I have the 50 Series E Nikon and found it has the best across frame sharpness compared with my Nikkor 50/1.4 Ai-S  and Nikkor-H 50/1.8  (and Industar 61). Several decades ago it was ...

"All about particular lens/camera/adapter problems". You're spot on, Tom. Many of these are very esoteric and hold no interest for what must be the large majority of readers. I sometimes first look ...

Forgive me if I mention the Nikkor 105mm f4  (Ai or AiS) instead. It's optics are remarkable and if you don't need a fast lens there are few to better it. Of course, the build quality is also first ...

Sorry for the delay. Corners are OK, although far from ultra-sharp. Vignetting is not a problem. I use a lens hood to reduce flare (but that's no big problem) and help contrast (again, contrast in ...

Good work. No problems there. I bought  (A$395) one last year, near mint (with the lens cap!) and, as you say, it's minute. Recently used it around London and the Outer Hebrides on my A7ii; its ...

Excellent info and illustrations. Thank you.

Recently took my 90mm Elmar (1957 manufacture) to the Western Highlands/Hebrides of Scotland for a second time, plus two airshows here and at Duxford (Cambridgeshire). Sharp as, compact, and great ...

Save time, get the K&F Concept adapters.

K&F Concept. By far.

My SMC Takumar 50/1.4 was one of the best lenses I ever used. Image, build quality and ease of use were first class. And unless you plan to eat the lens its radioactivity will not mutate one single ...

Recently picked one of these up for A$350. If you don't need the speed (and I don't) it's a great buy for a diminutively sized and first class build quality lens.

K&F Concept. They are very well made and moderately priced. Forget the rest.

I use a (new old stock) 1943 army webbing strap from a water bottle carrier. Genuine quality brass fittings, strong and adjustable. Not for metrosexuals, though.

Kelly, to answer your actual question (rather than explain how push pull/rings operate :-), my Nikkor 35-70 operates in the same manner you describe and it is almost mint (with little use) ; it ...

What's next, cabbage leaves?

Is this a back door method of surveilling photographers? And how do you encrypt 35mm film?
