    I find the Marumi DHG line of filters to be every bit as high in optical and construction quality as my high end B+W filters.
  2. Russ-Suzanne
    B+W did/does make aluminum housed filters for the Asian market. Two B+W representatives have confirmed this to me.

    it is a pre-AI that I modified to AI. Works beautifully on the DSLR’s. Thanks Russ

    Yes it is an AI lens. I AI’d it myself. But you are correct, in seeing that it was originally a pre-AI lens. It’s the first edition of the classic 105 f/2.5 lenses.

    I have been using the HN-2 (made for the 28mm lens) on my 24mm f/2.8 prime, and I am getting no vignetting. It seems to be fine on a 24mm lens.

    Hello When I screw an older AI lens onto my D70 and D780, will the camera automatically default to center-weighted metering? No more matrix metering? Thank you Russ Thank you Russ

    Shot on Delta 400 film with Nikkor 35 f/2 glass.

    I like it. I prefer the higher contrast version.

    Makes sense. I AI’d my two pre-AI lenses. 35 O f/2 and the 105 f/2.5 lenses.
  10. Russ-Suzanne
    That makes sense. Eyeglass wearers love the HP finder. I have another F3 on the way. It has the HP finder on it.
  11. Russ-Suzanne
    I too, prefer the non-HP finder.

    Nikkor 35 f/2 glass on XP-2 film.

    I recently picked up a “minty” condition F3. I’ve only burned half a dozen rolls through it. My initial observation is that it is VERY well designed and made. I am expecting it to outlast me.

    I have both the Kiron and the Komine model. I prefer the Komine.

    I do know from experience that the FE will give accurate exposures in A mode. Minutes or hours.
  17. Russ-Suzanne
    Are you suggesting that I start a new thread on the same subject, or that nobody is interested in the Nikon F3’s anymore?
  18. Russ-Suzanne
    Lex Good to hear that the F3 also delivers accurate and long exposures in Aperture priority mode. I thought that only the FE was capable of that. Russ

    You have to remove all of the older lubricant, and replace with a modern synthetic lubricant. Once you do that, you will never have this issue again.

    I burned a couple rolls of Portra 400, pushed three stops to 3200, New Years Eve with the F3 and the 105 f/2.5 glass.
  21. Russ-Suzanne
    Nikon did outsource some of theirs lenses. And yes, Kiron was one of their manufacturers.

    I really tried to like the Leica’s. Just couldn’t. Ergonomic nightmares.
  24. Russ-Suzanne
    Yes. But you get used to it quite quickly, and never give it another thought after that.

    Who are you calling old?
