Title: Nikon fun fun lens set
Post by: Snoogly on March 06, 2022, 05:47:15

Has anyone used these?

They do look ‘fun’, and once in a blue moon a boxed set in good condition comes up for sale here in Japan for about ¥8,000. Wondering if they are worth trying, or to be avoided ;-)

I did find an orphaned 400/8.0.  I was about to get one but decided to pass on it.

I don't really miss it, but, given the high-ISO efficiency and ease of focusing with slow lenses that today's mirrorless cameras can provide, a light and compact 300/5.6 or 400/8.0 AF VR lens could be attractive

I have my eye on Mercari ;-)

I quite like the example images, on that link, and on the 1001 Nights pages.
