Scotland NG Gathering 2016: Lens Chipping Service

[Jakov Minić]

Here is another 58mm @ f/2.0
It could be that Erik was chipping my 105/4 micro?

[Jakov Minić]

End result, shot with D700+58mm @ f/11.

[Bjørn Rørslett]

Apparently you are right, Jakov. 105 Micro it is.

[Erik Lund]

Indeed and shot with my Noct-Nikkor  300mm 4.5 came a bit later,,,

Not chipping as such, but I was hoping that Erik might help with a Mamiya Sekor 500/5.6 that I have and is not achieving infinity focus...
Would that be possible?

[Erik Lund]

Sorry I have not worked on anything like this lens, would not know where to begin.

The lens is manual focus and quite simple in construction.
I have opened it easily to take out the sliding shade, which had a dent and had come stuck (during shipping I think). There was also a light baffle that had come lose inside and I put it back in place.
I suspect someone experienced like you might form an idea on how to restore infinity focus.
I'd be happy if you were willing to just have a look at it, with no promise to fix it.

[Erik Lund]

Naturally I can have a look

It's just also a big thing to haul to Scotland camera and all,,,

You could poste some images of it maybe it can be done online,,, by the NikonGear community

Thanks, I'll be driving so that is not a problem for me.

But yes, I can definitely show pictures, I will open a thread later when I am back home.

I only now found this thread today - having been very busy lately - and am very interested in trying to have my

Fishey 16mm/2,8 chipped
plus , less urgently my
Micro  55mm/2,8
105mm/2,5
all AI-S lenses and in my psession for very looong time

I myself am just to much of a coward to do it myself without help
and really looking ahed to meeting you all in person

best, Martin

[Bjørn Rørslett]

Should be pretty trivial all of them.

[Bjørn Rørslett]

OK, preparations for the NG Scotland Event have commenced. I'll be in Scotland already May 1st so need to know what lens(es) people are keen on having CPU-modified in order to bring the appropriate parts.

Please just add your name and the lens(es) to this thread. No obligations, monetary or otherwise,  are incurred.

I know Bjørn will go through these with a firm scrutinizing eye - But 55mm 1.2 is a no chipping lens
