stephen_w. Posted February 28, 2007 Author Share Posted February 28, 2007 My "new" Nikon LTM lens is quickly becoming another of my favorite classic lenses. It has the "look", and I found by accident it could focus to 18 inches (after some built-in resistance). I had no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.antiquecameras.net Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Stephen - that "built in resistance" is actually a "bump", built in to the lens to notify the user that you are going beyond the focusing capacity of the camera, and you are own your own with focusing :> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen_w. Posted March 1, 2007 Author Share Posted March 1, 2007 I suspect I would see it in the finder (RF patch) before reaching the "hump". I'll try it when I get home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red_buckner Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 For 35mm, my favorite classic lens would have to be the Skoparon made for the Voigtlander Prominent. For a newer lens, it would be the Nikon 105mm 2.5 AI or AIS. For MF, it is hands-down the 75mm Planar on the Rollei 3.5F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
