Title: My first use of the Nikkor 50-135mm f/3.5
Post by: atpaula on July 21, 2017, 04:13:47: I found it quite compact to carry it in a tank bag during my last motorbike trip.
Thanks for looking.

It is missing screws and the barrel flexes at the joints, so I'm waiting for the funds to have it overhauled, and will need to find a competent service place that will be able to preserve the high optical performance after the service.

Post by: Bjørn Rørslett on July 22, 2017, 14:49:24: The 50-135 is one of those true gems from Nikon's golden age and used by a good photographer, nice results are the outcome.
