Nikkor Thousand and One Nights
« on: May 05, 2017, 23:11:36 »
Hi all,

I know Nikon has removed these for some reason but I wonder if anyone out there has saved any of the articles ? I stumbled across an archive page the other day but can't seem to get into it any more....

Interested in tales 5,20,41,45 specifically.

Thanks

This is, unfortunately, incomplete.  1001 nights went up to Tale 60...

Tale No.60 is missing from the above link. Does anyone here have that one?

Yes, since the English versions were pulled, there were two more in Japanese: 50-300/4.5 Auto, and AIS 50-135/3.5. It would be nice to read English versions of those articles.

This is a great series, with a really neat title, all of which I have enjoyed reading.  I look forward to new additions in due course.

This post has been edited to pieces. I hope I finally have it straight...

There are three Tales that are currently labeled "13" which lead me to believe that *sweet Jane numbered them. There are 60 total. Are we English readers still short?

*She lost her sparkle, you know she isn't the same. :)

[58/1.2 Noct, 28-45/4.5 and 500/8.0 Reflex (in the index: 16, 15 and 13 respectively) are all labeled 13 internally. If you try using "Save page as" the HTML file name of each is identical and ends in 13. There are 60 tales total at the English site.]

Here is the link again...

If this isn't correct I'm giving up!
