Here is another 58mm @ f/2.0
It could be that Erik was chipping my 105/4 micro?

Apparently you are right, Jakov. 105 Micro it is.

Not chipping as such, but I was hoping that Erik might help with a Mamiya Sekor 500/5.6 that I have and is not achieving infinity focus...
Would that be possible?

The lens is manual focus and quite simple in construction.
I have opened it easily to take out the sliding shade, which had a dent and had come stuck (during shipping I think). There was also a light baffle that had come lose inside and I put it back in place.
I suspect someone experienced like you might form an idea on how to restore infinity focus.
I'd be happy if you were willing to just have a look at it, with no promise to fix it.

Naturally I can have a look ;)

It's just also a big thing to haul to Scotland camera and all,,,

You could poste some images of it maybe it can be done online,,, by the NikonGear community  ;D

Thanks, I'll be driving so that is not a problem for me.

But yes, I can definitely show pictures, I will open a thread later when I am back home.

Fishey 16mm/2,8 chipped
plus , less urgently my
Micro  55mm/2,8

and really looking ahed to meeting you all in person

OK, preparations for the NG Scotland Event have commenced. I'll be in Scotland already May 1st so need to know what lens(es) people are keen on having CPU-modified in order to bring the appropriate parts.

Please just add your name and the lens(es) to this thread. No obligations, monetary or otherwise,  are incurred.

I know Bjørn will go through these with a firm scrutinizing eye - But 55mm 1.2 is a no chipping lens  :)
