Thanks Mike.

The first two photo's in the Incubate topic are also shot with this lens:  http://nikongear.net/revival/index.php?topic=1457.msg14865;topicseen#msg14865

The lens is very practical between 50mm and 135 and easy to focus.  I really like the colors and also the sharpness. Two shots at F/5.6 with the D700.

It's a lovely walk around lens. My Df is running into issues with underexposure - now even with Ai-P lenses 
I just can't trust local Perth service agent....

Will do macro at a push - 50mm with macro setting at maximum

Colours and crispness very good even with defective Df

Nice examples JJ.

Very subtle, Thomas. Nice light on the last one.

Thank you all for the information.  I think the the T6 Close Up lens is hard to find, Bjørn.  Could not find a single hit, but perhaps I didn't use the perfect search-criteria.

Here's one that I just happened to see by accident.

If the Nikon 5T is hard to come by, then don't forget the Canon 500D, IF, the diameter of the Canon 500D suits the Nikon lens in question. 

Unfortunately not all of the diameters available for the Canon 500D series of supplementary lenses will suit all Nikon lenses unless a stepup ring is used.  The optical power of the Canon 500D is slightly weaker IIRC than for the Nikon 5T.  The older Canon 250D is however stronger.

FYI: The 5T and 6T can be used with stepdown rings on tele lenses;  I've used them on the Nikkor 85/1.4 AiS, 135/2 AiS, and 180ED AiS with a 72 to 62 stepdown ring.  Beautiful sharp results.

There's a macro option on the wide end of the 50-135/3.5, but be warned to use it with cautious not to force the ring, it happened to me once and  the main barrel came loose.

Thanks for the link, Bill ! 

In the meantime (That was 2015) I have been able to acquire a 6T.  They occasionally surface the ebay-community

looking at the images I think I have this lens to put on my list.
