Lens Talk / Unusual 135mm 1/3.5 NIKKOR-Q Auto
« Last post by Bruno Schroder on April 24, 2024, 16:35:14 »A few weeks ago, I could not resist buying an unusual 135mm 1/3.5 NIKKOR-Q Auto.
Mechanically and optically identical to the usual model, it is all bare polished metal. No paint, no marking, except the engraving. Residual painting is visible in the DOF markings, so the paint was removed. The seller was told the paint was removed to ease sterilization for use in a lab environment but he got no proof nor confirmation.
Have you heard this before?
I have not taken a picture with it yet. It is a F version, unmodifiable to AI and I loaned my DF to a friend ... I need to retrieve it.

Lens Talk / Re: Incredible Deals On Old Nikkor Lenses!
« Last post by Bruno Schroder on April 24, 2024, 15:47:01 »Just got a 50mm f/2 NIKKOR-H Auto 1:2, Ai modified, and a 135mm NIKKOR-Q Auto 1:2.8 unmodified, both almost like new, for 25 EURO each. It is amazing how smoothly these 50 years old lenses still operate.

« Last post by Bent Hjarbo on April 24, 2024, 12:31:23 »Could the forum software be convinced to display the user name in the upper right corner of the screen with a color indicating the supporter status?Good idea.
Then it would be easier to keep track of the supporter status without looking at own posts.

Themes, Portfolio Series, PaW, or PaM / Re: [Theme] Show us your best moon (and solar system) images
« Last post by Øivind Tøien on April 24, 2024, 10:15:01 »Thanks Colin, the images are very close to the visual appearance which was quite striking - I hardly ever recall earthshine on the moon being that pronounced. It took quite a few tries to get something useful. Modern jets are quite stable if there is no turbulence, so I think it helped bracing without letting the camera get in direct contact with the craft which could transmit vibrations from the engines. Of course the image with the 300 PF was helped by full the VR mode.
