i will look for the english version :o :o :o

Very slow to load ... it's about the AIS 50-135/3.5
Older articles are also there as far as I can tell, but in Japanese :o
-
Google Chrome can translate it into Engrish :o :o :o
There is hope that the EN site will be available again!
-
So, it is online again? Thanks for the reminder, Rick! Hope the English versions are on its way (back).
-
For once, the Google translation was almost intelligible .... I think it covered most of the content quite well without too many artefacts.
I join the others in hope that the English version of the 1001 Tales be available in the near future.

glad you understood the Engrish :o :o :o
which translator did you use?

Well, it was readable if you get my meaning.

Incidentally, my own observations on the 50-135 were by and large confirmed. Must retrieve the lens from its storage and use it for a while. It's been a while since last time.

It is a good summary. I was using this lens earlier in the week. It is a bit heavy compared to shorter primes, but does reach to 135. Handles pretty well,but the zoom has a tendency to drop when pointed downward.
Here is an example at f/8 on a Df:

It is pretty sharp at f/8.

Ha good news the site seems to be returning in the Japanese context at least ;)
The article was even somewhat readable in English.
There is a special topic about the 50-135/3.5 http://nikongear.net/revival/index.php/topic,1391.0.html (http://nikongear.net/revival/index.php/topic,1391.0.html)

Thanks Rick for the alert.
I just bought one in my April trip to Tokyo. I've been looking for this lens for a while, 7 years to be precise. One hefty lens at 700 g, non-rotating filter ring (nice). Zoom is slacking... On Nikon Df.
