john_woo3 Posted November 30, 2002 Share Posted November 30, 2002 I buy this lens together with the Nikon S2 rangefinder. May I know anyone understand how to set the aperture for this lens? I find no way to turn the aperture ring. Thanks in advanced. Rgd, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerry_lehrer Posted November 30, 2002 Share Posted November 30, 2002 John Is there an iris diaphragm on your lens? If not, it may be one of those special lenses that were intended to photograph ocilloscopes or X-ray screens, or electric meter readings for utility companies. I know that there were a number of half-frame Nikons made for such purposes. But about your lens--I dunno! Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_h._hartman Posted November 30, 2002 Share Posted November 30, 2002 Check with <a href="http://www.naturfotograf.com/" target="_new">Nærfoto Bjørn Rørslett</a>. If you cant find the info you need try sending him an e-mail. Im sure Bjørn knows your lens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kens Posted November 30, 2002 Share Posted November 30, 2002 I have a 3.5cm 2.5 W-Nikkor-C. The very front edge of the lens is knurled - I'm not referring to the knurled focus ring, but the very front edge of the lens. If you hold the focus ring steady with one hand, you can turn the front knurled edge with the other, changing the aperture setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
