55mm UV Nikkor

feeds@yuku.com (Jarle Aasland) — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 04:02:27 GMT

There's a 55mm f/2 UV Nikkor for sale on eBay, as part of the $69,000 NASA F3 kit (discussed in another thread).

Anyone have some more information about this one (or other UV Nikkors)? Apparently, there's little info about these lenses on the web.

If you are a Nikkormat user/collector you'll know what this is and how tough it is to find one. I have ONE brand new and unused resistance band for the "round-the-lens" shutter speed dial meter.

MacroNIKKOR versus Macro-NIKKOR?

feeds@yuku.com (esavazzi) — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 10:43:42 GMT

The Nikon 19mm and 35mm photomacrographic lenses for the Multiphot are engraved MacroNIKKOR on their barrels (no space and no dash between Macro and Nikkor), while the two longest focal lengths are engraved Macro-NIKKOR, at least in my own specimens, and a few I can see on the web.

unusual self timer on SP

feeds@yuku.com (jonmanjiro) — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 10:59:08 GMT

anyone ever seen a self timer lever like this one on an SP before?

i'm guessing that a part from an F was used to replace the original part, but it seems rare even for an F part.

Nikon F2 with F eye-level?

feeds@yuku.com (Spew) — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 15:19:04 GMT

To my understanding most finders are compatible between the F and F2, the exception being the Ftn finder that would need a slight mod.

My question is, has anyone used such a combo? F2 and F eye-level (DE-1)
Is the fit good? The reason im asking, is becuase ide like a standard prism without meter, but dont feel like throwing out the money for a F2 version of the DE-1.
Im not interested in collectible value or period accuracy. Just a standard prism.

Any complaints?...
