If they are used with post-1977 cameras, agree that these old lenses do well enough without their rabbit ears. For the widest range of compatibility, however, I let the rabbits stay put myself.

Me,too. I like to use the Nikomat :o :o :o sometimes more than the F or F2 ::) (because of that tiny window with the meter)

Point taken.  I have quite a collection of the various Nikkormats (as they were labelled for sale outside of Asia).  My much loved black FT3 works just fine with its Ai lens mount.   ;D

(and I still have quite a few lenses with their rabbits ears left on to use on the rest which are pre-Ai.)

My English Bulldog thanks Richard for his esthetic appraisal.  He fully agrees.

45 years are separating the 105mm f/2.5 from the D5:
