K-Ring Set and the Nikon F5

K-Ring Set and the Nikon F5, Just the facts ma�am (or sir).

 

I just ordered the Nikon Extension Ring Set K (1~5) and am wondering

if there are any compatibility issues with the Nikon F5 body? There

are a dozen or so No-Nos in the F100 manual including both the K1 and

K2 Rings but I can�t find a similar listing in the F5 manual.

 

I�m not too interested in AF lens compatibility issues at this time.

I own other Nikon bodies that are fully compatible.

 

Thanks!

 

Dave.

The difference doesn't seem to be visibly noticeable. I believe it is probably a clearance issue of some fraction of a millimeter, or several thousandths of an inch. Most likely something with the bevel at the edge of the bayonet, perhaps it puts stress on the plastic holding the CPU contacts and could cause a crack. Maybe. I think you would need machinist's tools (dial Calipers, surface plate, Jo blocks,...) to measure what it really is.
