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
