Hi, I'm looking for reccomendations on which 35mm Nikon lens to buy. My main
objective is superlative optical quality. I don't necesarily care if its an
AF or MF lens, though I prefer the latter. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
The Nikon F100 is now widely available in Hong Kong.
The current price from my authorised Nikon dealer is HK$11,500
which is a shade under US$1,500.
When the F5 was introduced, he advised me to wait a couple
of months as the initial price would drop. I assume the
same will be true of the
Talking to my Nikon dealer today. He, also the owner, said he was told by Nikon
that the F100 might be cut significantly into the F5 sales. He also was told that
Nikon may not keep the F5 around much longer.

The 20-35 2.8 is a great lens. I use one on a daily basis and really
could not live without it.
At $1600 for a gray market lens, I can ... And live without it quite

I'm contemplating selling the following gear, would you guys help me with pricing?
N90s w/MB-10 including the MS-10 and MS-11 battery trays
MF-26

The gear is in mint condition, one year old and I have all boxes. The N90s shot
approximately 60 rolls of film.

Does anybody know how much Nikon USA charges to thoroughly clean a lens? I
have a 500mm mirror reflex that has the beginnings of a fungus (I think),
but I'm wondering what the ballpark would be on such a service, and whether
they can even guarantee the results.
TIA,

Is Nikon developing an MF-30 for the F100?
I hope they do. Ive been using my MF-26 to imprint a six digit
sequence number on frame #0 which helps me label my negatives in
order. Really great when shooting roll after roll and never having to
number each roll with a pen. This is just one of
I agree with Wayne Jordan: I definitely would like Nikon to provide an
improved E Screen for the F5, such as the one provided for the F100.
Even if it doesn't have red indicators, I would at least like the spot
metering to track with the autofocus indicators like it does in the EC-B
Screen.
Has anyone used the new Sigma 1.4 APO TC with the Nikkor 300/4? If so, how
have the images been? I wish to keep my lenses all Nikon, but there is no
400/5.6 AF option other than third party. The Sigma TC will preserve AF and
all metering funtions, according to Sigma. I would love to hear from

Hello,
Sorry, this is not really Nikon topic, but here can i hope an answer.

The Nikon F100 should prove to be an ideal main camera as well as a
second camera body to the F5. This is the first time that Nikon has
launched a true pro-level camera which supports its flagship model, in
this case the F5.

Can anyone confirm that the TC-14B is the most suited teleconverter (in

Does the F3 require a circular Polarizing Filter for correct exposure?

No, the F3 only needs a Linear Polarizer.

Negative compensation means you want less light on the subject - so for any
given output, the subject must be further away. Using TTL, the output of
the flash will be reduced to compensate, but a limit is reached when the
flash is at full output. In this case, it will be capable of illuminating a
Hi Thomas,
A circular polariser is a linear polarisering film with a special glass
behind it to rotate the polarised light.
I am using a linear polariser with my F3 and I had no exposure problems. I
think the mirror in the F3 is different to the mirror in the AF cameras. The
F3 mirror has many
