Originally posted by k100d note those are non-AIS lenses, can't imagine those lenses would be better than equivalent Takumars and K's and M's to make it worth the hastle
I check local Craigslist and buy Nikon cameras/lenses only if the price is good. I then try the lenses with my K10D and decide which lenses to keep, the rest goes to FleaBay.
Sometimes I keep a lens to use for a while until finding a K-mount equivalent. I actually prefer Nikon lenses to M42-mount lenses because the use is virtually the same (manually closing down the aperture before releasing the shutter), but Nikon lenses don't require an adapter.
I currently have a dozen Nikon lenses in my possession. I will sell most of them, but will keep (these are all pre-AI):
- 105mm F/2.5
- 85mm F/1.8
- 35mm F/2
These are the ones I used for a while before getting K-mount equivalent:
- 200mm F/4
- 55mm micro F/3.5
- 135mm F/2.8
- 24mm F/2.8
- 180mm F/2.8
- 50mm F/1.4
- 85mm F/2
