Fun Fun Lens Time

<p>I never heard of these. Interesting article:</p>

<p>http://www.nikkor.com/story/0052/</p>

<p>Also, this page has been linked before, but let me do so again. If you have not perused, there is lots of interesting Nikon/Nikkor history found here:</p>

<p>http://www.nikkor.com/story/</p>

<p>If you are trying to research things, I don't find the Nikon site so very helpful, but it is more entertaining than the tabular data presented by some other (needless to name them) leading makers. :|<br>

The 'mir' site is a good place to go for mostly reliable information on Nikon (and others too):<br>

http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/companies/nikon/htmls/models/ </p>

<p>That is a valid point, JDM. I have used MIR frequently and it is a great resource. Roland Vink also has an excellent Nikkor database.</p>

<p>For those who haven't read any, the Thousand and One Nights series offer inside accounts about the development of significant Nikon/Nikkor products. </p>

<p>.......or there's the very small, 2 page pamphlet, 'Pro DX Glass; a Nikon Perspective'....:-)</p>

<p>For lens data, I always go to http://www.photosynthesis.co.nz/nikon/index.html</p>

<p>or for things like 'When was the D90 bought out?' I go to wikipedia.....they have some very nice time-lines of DSLR data.</p>

<p>Ah, the Fun Fun lens set again..<br>

This lens set was issued in 1995 for 1 year ( Original name was Nikon Amusing lens set). Later on in 2000 it was issued again in a limited editition. THose sets sell for a good amount to collectors if complete, </p>

<p>Here is some more information on this : <br>

<p>Yes, yes, I didn't mean to ignore the original post on the "Fun" set. I was simply obsessing with the "Thousand and One Nights" site in general.</p>

<p>I confess I was a Nikonista at the time and don't remember ever hearing about these.</p>
