I have an F2 (Photomic S) and a 500mm reflex lens, which means that I have to use stop-down metering. Can anyone enlighten me about the term stop-down metering? Does it just mean that you actually calculate the right shutter speed when the meter is set at the wrong f-stop? Or did I miss some snazzy feature enabling me to stop-down? No, stop down metering means that the lens is stopped down to the taking aperature prior to letting the camera compute the correct shutter speed. Why do you ask this question with respect to a lens which has a fixed aperature? Jim
Re: PK-13 extension ring
I said: Nope, you need the PN-11 to get to 1:1 with this lens. It has a 55mm extension. That information was incorrect. The 105mm MF lens requires the PN-11 to get to 1:1. If the PK-13 has 27.5 mm of extension, then it will be required to get the 55mm lens to 1:1. Jim

I have been offered the possibility of buying a 55/2.8 micro with a PK-13 extension ring. I think that with this combo a ratio of 1:1 reproduction can be obtained. Nope, you need the PN-11 to get to 1:1 with this lens. It has a 55mm extension. I am not very much into macro photography, but I think I could begin with this combo. My question is the following: Is it possible to use this extension ring in other lenses?, in which lenses works best (i.e. wide-angles, teles...)?, Any extension tube can be used with any lens. All it is is a spacer. I haven't used mine with wide-angle lenses. Is it difficult to use ?, i.e. does the focusing and metering differ very much from shooting without extension ring? Focusing is different. TTL exposure is not affected. I have at present the following lenses: 24/2.0; 35-70/3.5; 50-135/3.5. From the little I know, the smallest focal length of the lens gives a stronger macro effect. Would that mean that with the 24/2.0 I would get greater magnification than with the 55 micro?, or may be the lens has to be one of these "micros"? Look at the instruction sheet that came with the lens to see how big you can get. The 50-135 has a "macro" function would that be enough? Not unless you are satisfied with a 1:4 size. Jim

My beef - a $20.00 flash foot that CANT be purchased turns into a $600 - 700.00 new flash. Where is the economy in that? If a flash or other item has designed OR found weak points then there needs to be a much better arrangement for spare parts not just by Nikon but rather the entire industry. To all the people with equipment over the 6 - 10 years, be warned, parts are not guaranteed. The flash that is most famous for broken feet is the Vivitar 283.

They're both great lenses to use and I'm growing to love them already. However, I decided to do a simple test on them to compare their sharpness against a 35-80/4.0-5.6 zoom. I was expecting the primes to be noticeably sharper. I placed an open dictionary on a chair. The lenses were mounted on an N2020 (F501), all set at f/8 aperture. I manually focussed for each shot (using the electronic rangefinder of the N2020 as an aid) and used an SB-26 bounced off the ceiling for lighting, as it was indoors at night. The film was Fuji Superia Reala ISO 100. I got 4x6 prints and examined them under a Peak 10x Loupe. This is an effective 42x enlargement of the negative. To my amazement, I could detect no real difference in sharpness between the primes and the zoom. The 50mm prime seemed a tiny bit sharper than the zoom set to 50mm and the zoom set to 35mm seemed a tiny bit sharper than the 35mm prime! Note that the zoom had a slight disadvantage, as its max aperture is f/4.0 and so was harder to focus than the primes. I was both amazed and disappointed (for my primes; it has given me new faith in my 35-80mm zoom). Do these results make sense? Has technology brought zooms to the point where they're not really less sharp than (expensive) primes? I know the primes are faster and allow low-light photography, but using sharpness as the only criterion, is there any real difference anymore? Anybody care to comment. While there may not be that much difference between the lenses you mentioned, this test does not shed much light. Your test does not evaluate just the lenses. Instead, it evaluates the lenses, the film, the enlarger lens, and the paper. Repeat your test with slide film that is known for its high resolution. My choices would be Velvia or K25. If you must use print film, get something like the ultra high resolution black and white film. Only look at the negatives. Jim

I use an F90x and an FM2n and I've never had the chance to use an F5 (much more the new F100). I do know its autofocus system is more advance, having Dynamic AF, selectable AF areas, AF sensors and the like. Being inexperienced as I am, and only getting to read some Nikon catalogues, I get the impression that all these AF features make these cameras real suitable for sports, wildlife and other fast action photography. Are these AF features useful for, lets say, landscape, architectural, or studio photography? Enlighten me please. Thanks guys! Here is my 2 cents worth. The F5 and F100 focus faster than an N90s. They also have a more advanced AF system because they allow use of more than one focus point. For the uses you mentioned, AF speed is not important at all. It could be that more than one focus point would make a difference in utility of the camera. However, I haven't seen anyone make that point. With respect to wild life photography, the AF speed of the N90S is adequate. I read on Moose Peterson's web site that he considers the multiple AF focus point capability of the F5 essential to successful photography. So, you might consider switching to either the F5 or the F100 because they feature multiple AF focus points. As for me, I don't intend to switch anytime soon. I haven't exhausted the capability of the N90S yet. Jim

What I mean is - if I have a 55mm microNikkor (renowned for its sharpness, and ignoring close focusing advantage) and use 800ASA film -should I bother about the lens quality? Why not use a lesser 50mm lens (e.g. Series E)? This is hard to analyze since the film makers don't advertise film resolution anymore, and the camera manufacturers never have. Once upon a time I subscribed to Modern Photography which published lens tests that showed resolution figures. It was a rare lens indeed which could resolve finer than 70 lines per mm. Once upon a time, Kodak published film resolution values. The best films (not ASA800) could resolve 125 lines per mm. So, I conclude that lens sharpness is still very important. If these conditions are still true, then lens sharpness is extremely important. Having said all that, I believe you will find that the mentioned lens is not sharper than the others at normal distances. These macro lenses are far superior though for extreme closeup shots. Jim

And does the orange M on the 35-105 mean macro? If so, how does it fare in macro work? You use the limit/full switch to keep the AF motor from trying distances that you know are not appropriate. For example, you are shooting elk outdoors. You had better be some distance from them else you won't live very long. In this case, it makes no sense to allow the camera to cycle all the way to the very closest setting. You can prevent this by suitable control of the switch. I don't own the 35-105, but if it works like many of the others, this is indeed the macro switch. None of these lenses is as sharp as a dedicated lens nor will they focus as close. These lenses should instead be called close focusing, because such a name would be more correct. Jim

The problem has been present for a few years but recently has started to happen more often. I got so tired of having (relatively speaking) good photos ruined that I finally saved up my quarters, went out and bought a N50. Nice camera for my level needs. Sure, I had a good excuse to upgrade but I still like my FG. Let me try to describe the problem. Typically on a 4X6 photo I randomly get two orange colored bands running vertically through the photo. The first band, starting about three quarters of an inch from the left side of the photo, is pretty wide (about an inch and a half) and fades out on either side. The second band, which is always to the right of the wide band, about an inch and a quarter away, is thinner (about an eighth of an inch thick) and fades to the left side but has an abrupt ending on it's right side. This sounds like a shutter problem. If the shutter curtains move sideways, the one or the other of them is dragging. snip Some other information that may be helpful is I've noticed the problem happens mostly when I am NOT using the dedicated flash (SB-15). The problem crops up about 20% of the time without the flash and about 3% of the time when I am using the flash. Again, it is a random problem. This is further indication of a shutter problem. snip Anyway, what I'm trying to do is decide whether I should invest in getting the FG fixed and have two cameras or if I should just stick with my new N50. If it's possible, and not too expensive, I'd like to have the FG repaired. You may be shocked to find out how much it will cost. Most of the cameras are not designed to be easily repairable. Plus, if I am correct, parts may be hard to find because the FG has been discontinued for quite some time. Alas, parts get hard to find just when they are needed the most. I would consign the FG to camera heaven. Jim
