I was so happy when I got this lens, I heard a lot about it's quality. Not easy to get many perfect Nikon lens available on the used lens market ,but hard to find the most famous Vivitar lenses. Perhaps they are sold in smaller amount or owner want to keep them ? Don't know the reason,but that is true this lens available on Ebay with right mount only twice a year.It has quality build , all parts made from glass and metal. Compare with it's age not too heavy , easy to focusing and produce crisp, sharp images even at wide open. It has great resolution and color rendering. This lens part of the American history like Carl Zeiss Jena Olympic Sonar 180mm f2.8 the German history. Close focusing ability is legendary 1.2 m ! This is same distance than many 135m lens has. An excellent macro performer with extension tube, bigger working distance is very important in macro photography to get more light and not trouble the target subject. |

Pre-AI or Non-AI or NAI
The original F-mount, which offers light meter
coupling by means of a prong fixed to the aperture ring.
Not an official Nikkor designation, but in common use. Light meter
coupling was manual; the maximum aperture of the lens was communicated
to the light meter by mounting the lens with the aperture ring set to
f/5.6, and then turning the ring to first the minimum and then the
maximum apertures.
U, B, T, Q, P, H, S, O, N, D
Appears immediately before or after the
Nikkor name on early lenses, designating the number of elements in the
design.
Short for Uns (1), Bini (2), Tres (3), Quatour (4), Pente (5),
Hex (6), Septem (7), Octo (8), Novem (9), or Decem (10).

Nikon D70 Digital Camera Review by Bjørn Rørslett
Nikon D70 is a small, neat, and affordable
entry into the new world of digital SLR photography. It sells for
less than 1/3 of the price of a D2H professional camera and
obviously, some corners have been cut in order to lower the price
to a competitive level. I will not spend too much time on
describing all the features on the D70, because plenty of this
information is floating around on the better web sites already.
Or, you may get a brochure from a dealer or download a PDF file
from one of the official Nikon sites. Relevant points and issues
are covered during this review article. For a 'pro' user of the
D1/D1X/D1H models, the interface of the D70 will perhaps be
slightly confusing, but the targeted end users probably will see
the situation in a different light. However, I think most people
will take an instant liking to the sheer charm and neatness of
this little camera.

One of the most wanted Carl Zeiss lens generally.This is very good lens for macro photography too. It is render very sharp images like Sonnar 135 mm or Konica Hexanon normal and short-telephoto lens.

Nikon D2X Digital Camera Reviewed by by Bjørn Rørslet
1. Introduction
We waited, waited, and waited with infinite patience. All time nibbling at even the tiniest scraps of new information from the remote Headquarter in the Country of the Rising Sun. Or feeding on rumours and tantalizing glimpses of "unofficial" and poor quality "test " pictures. Only the true at heart Nikon fans would so such a thing. For what? A new digital flagship from the drawing board of the Nikon enginereers, of course. Now Nikon D2X is here, with a healthy 12.84 MPix CMOS imager inside. Read along as I take the new pet through its paces.
