This lens was never upgraded to AI standard although conversion kits were available for a few years after it was discontinued. Nikon made this lens from 1964 until 1975 and then inexplicably replaced it with a lens more-or-less universally agreed to be its inferior. The construction quality, fit and finish of this lens is exquisite. Nothing like this is made now and even the current lens offerings will mostly be gone before this lens breaks. It was a lens like this that David Hemmings used to photograph Veruschka in the studio scenes of the 1966 film ‘Blow-Up’. You can appreciate therefore that owning a lens like this will enhance your style credentials as well as instantly make you a better photographer.

This is where a zoom lens has some advantages.

Step One: The Council issues every household with a kerbside recycling box for glass bottles and jars (originally it was also for textiles and tin cans, but peremptorily they stopped wanting textiles and directed that tin cans should go in another of their many bins). Step Two: Every recycling box comes complete with a separate lightweight lid. No advice (such as 'buy a brick') is provided on the safe use of these lids. Step Three: There is a gale force wind and all the lids evacuate themselves to some nearby farmer's fields. Step Four: A Council Spokesperson says, 'We never saw that coming' and is commended for good planning and communication at the Local Government Chronicle Annual Awards Ceremony for Quality Service Delivery.
