Gary Naka Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 JDM Yup I found that focusing it was fairly easy. Then again, I grew up with manual focus lenses. The trick is holding it steady. Got to find my monopod. It is "someplace" in the house. I knew it would be good for something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leicaglow Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I owned a couple versions of the bigger, older reflex 500s. I bought the second only because I thought I had a bad copy of my first. That was not the case. I ended up buying the newer compact version, and felt it produced sharper images, but still not quite up to Nikon Pro quality, so I ended up selling that one too. I did have a 10000mm f/11 and it was quite a good lens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott_murphy5 Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 I had one for many years and loved it. There are two camps with this lens; those who loved it and those who hated it. It is very sharp and light and if you get the older version they are very cheap. This was taken with the older version, hand held on a D700 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott_murphy5 Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 The Reflex Nikkor is a fine lens optically. It is a single aperture, manual-focus lens. Nouveaux who don't know how to focus without training wheels will hate it, but it worked for a lot of sports and BIF shooters in its day. With today's high ISOs, it's easily hand held Bra-vo! +1!
