Hi Erik,
Only the 28mm has such cover.
Any other focus length from that time (auto H, O, Q, S,) hasn't: so I wonder what is it? ::)

Nice looking lens! You are right, I haven't seen this feature on any other Nikkor. I believe the cover can be pried off to reveal a screw for assembly/disassembly or for adjusting the lens. Hopefully someone with more knowledge (Eric, Richard?) can confirm this.

I had a copy of this lens pre-digital.  I always assumed the round metal thing was a service cover of some sort.  My copy had beautiful image sharpness at all stops, but also had a fairly pronounced yellow color tint.  The yellow tint...and the round thing... were eliminated when Nikon redesigned the lens for the 'New Nikkor' styling change of the early 1970's.

Sorry for my ignorance, but for what stands the acronym « CRC » for, used throughout the last four pages ? Thanks.

Close Range Correction


The Close-Range Correction (CRC) system is one of Nikon's most important focusing innovations, for it provides superior picture quality at close focusing distances and increases the focusing range. With CRC, the lens elements are configured in a "floating element" design wherein each lens group moves independently to achieve focusing. This ensures superior lens performance even when shooting at close distances. The CRC system is used in fisheye, wideangle, Micro, and selected medium telephoto NIKKOR lenses.

Erik, does CRC effectively change the focal length, like the micro Nikkor 60mm f/2.8 D, where the working distance diminishes rapidly the closer you get, I know that's naturaly the case but it disappears more much quickly than a micro Nikkor 55mm f/2.8 AI due the the reducing foal length as a way of getting to 1:1 without extension tubes.

Hope that makes sense...

Yes, it does change it slightly.

Thank you Erik, Roland, Pluton for suggestions. Appreciated.
Opposite of this position there is a tiny grub screw on the focussing ring which holds the sloping front of the focus ring (in front of the scalloped focussing ring)
It will stay a mystery.... as I am reluctant to take this plastic cover off to have a look I surely will leave marks on this plastic cover. Indeed plastic....
Presumable the first piece of plastic introduced on a Nikon Auto series lens :-) (beside the lens caps of course)  ;D ;D

I have an Ai version, and it is my most used lens. It is compact, easy to use, and does a great job. I take it with me to document jobs and job sites, and I also use it when just playing with my camera. It phentermine otc works as well on my D700 as it does on my FE2.

These aren't artistic photos, but you can see what the little 28mm f/2.0 can do.

The first picture is an example of documenting a job site.

The second is a picture of a metal sculpture from a local artist, which was out in a field near his shop. The 28/2 allowed me to get a nice perspective on a life-sized sculpture. The third is a sculpture from the same artist, but this time, the photo is focused in closely on its snout and teeth.

If I was stuck with only two prime lenses, I'd keep this one and a 100mm macro. In fact, most of the time, that's exactly what I carry.

quality presents is every inch how should a classic lens should be defined

Throughout the years he checked out numerous Nikkors and suggested that this one is worth a deeper look despite being a manual focus lens.
