K-lenses ?

feeds@yuku.com (nikonnl) — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 02:25:50 GMT

Hello, especially to the Japanese native speakers!
I am discussing with Roland Vink the identifications of Nikon lenses for the Nikon F mount. The first lenses are called 'A' lenses, probably referring to the 'automatic aperture', which was a sophisticated feature in those days (1960's). The next generation of lenses are called the 'C' lenses, (again) probably referring to the coating used on all elements in all lenses. Then there are the 'K'-lenses,...

Production date for S3

feeds@yuku.com (rbsinto) — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 08:08:41 GMT

The S3 I purchased a number of months ago on ebay finally arrived this weekend when my good friend came up from the States for a visit. I'm curious to know if serial number versus date of manufacture tables exist for the rangefinders (similar to those for the various Nikon SLRs).
This camera has serial number 6300737, which ( I believe ) makes it a reasonably early one in the production series. Can anyone give me some insight as to when it was produced?
Please and thank you.

No serial number S3

Another one?
Or may be it's the same one going around? Again and again....

An unusual big lens

feeds@yuku.com (art7) — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 22:12:11 GMT

I recently bought a lens from a Nikon Integrated Circuit stepper machine on ebay. As far as I can tell, it is approximately 125mm fl and is f 1.2, based on the 106mm diameter front. I have access to a CNC lathe, so I machined a focussing helicoid for it to attach to my D200. I'm an engineer, not a machinist, so I was impressed that a) I made what I wanted b) I didn't cut off any body parts or break the lathe c) was able to cut a helicoid thread with 10 threads running in parallel,...

Who initiated the nasty ads?

feeds@yuku.com (gsandberg) — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 12:44:22 GMT

Since some days I see ads apprearing as a part of user-posts.

Did the NHS initiate these ads or has Yuku started this?

Don't remember seeing one of these listed before. For 900,000 you could probably buy 2 or 3 Nikkor-N 5cm/f1.1s.

an unusual Little lens

AI fit on D200

feeds@yuku.com (art7) — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 12:53:48 GMT

I have an AI 50mm f1.2 sn 196548 which I have used on my D200. As I focus close to infinity (ie the lens comes closer to the camera) there is a noticible 'bump' of resistance in the focus ring. At first I assumed it was dirt in the helicoid, but when I take the lens off the camera, it is not there. My conclusion is that as the lens moves back toward the camera there is a physical interference, where something in the rear element is bumping something in the camera.

Any ideas...
