Thank you guys, that put my mind at ease. Coming from digital I really worry too much. Each sheet of Velvia is just so expensive ;). Can't afford any technical hiccups.:D

Hello everybody, Just recently I purchased a used Nikkor-SW 90 1:8 in mint condition. What immediately made me become suspicious was that I could easily push the aperture lever far beyond the f/8 marking. Is this normal? Does anyone else here own such a lens and could check? At f/8 the aperture blades start to become insivible so generally, this thing should work. I just wonder if it was reshuttered improperly which might also cause the other f-stop markings to be inaccurate. My Nikkor-M 300 1:8 (which I bought new) has precise hard stops at f/9 and f/128. Otherwise I probably wouldn't have noticed. These are the only two lenses I own for 4x5. Thanks for your help and best regards, Tobias

<p>Just a quick update:<br> I replaced the tubes in both flashes ($20 for the tubes and about 2 hours fiddling) and they work perfectly again!<br> Thanks for your help!</p>
