declark Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 I would like to perform an AI surgery on a recently acquired Nikkor-H 85mm F1.8 lens. I have done this before on a 50mm F2, but I had a 35mm F2 in my inventory for reference to make the necessary cuts relative to the yoke. I could send it to John White, but I like a project like this and can do a clean job of this on a rotary table. I have dug all over the internet and have found lots of info, but still not sure I can determine the real relation of the aperture ring notches relative to the indexing yoke. It would be really helpful if someone with a 50mm, 85mm, 105mm F1.8 AI or AIs lens could make a hi-res copier scan or a good square shot with a digicam of the rear of the lens so I can measure the angle to aperture ring notches relative to the indexing yoke. Thanks for anyone willing to help with this endeavor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanjo_viagran Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 this is what you need to check for an AI conversion (disregard the red circle) PS. the EE tab is USELESS in newer cameras, so don even bother.. http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc112/Juanjo_Viagran/BS/AI%20conversion/_D243767-2.jpg?t=1200284500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

declark Posted January 14, 2008 Author Share Posted January 14, 2008 That's exactly the kind of shot I am looking for. The more square to the rear of the rear of the lens the better. A copier scan with the real lens cap on so that the lens sits flat on the glass carrier would probably be ideal. Thanks again, this will probably work just fine.
