Message: 20
Hi all, I'm coming to purchase a second (perhaps third who know ...)
hand
24mm for about 200 USD, it have only a little scratch on the border of
the
frontal element (bu very light).
Description of the lens:
Nikkon 24mm f2.8
Made in Japan
Filters 52mm
Focusing, font lens does not rotate instead the rear one does.
Focus min @ 0.3 m
S/N 226865
I have a couple of question:
I found 2 curious things in it .
First one is the focusing ring that instead of my 50mm 1.8 AF is short
(in
width is about 5mm) and is not cubbished but rowed (||||||||||) .
Second one is the blocking mechanism of the f stops to the f22 value:
Instead of a little lever mechanism, this have a little circular and
rotating push-button:
If I push this one simply unlock prom the f22 value; pushing and
rotating
it, I suppress the auto lock if the f22 value is selected.
My questions are:
1. Have you ever seen or used this one ?
2. Year of production
3. Why the focus ring is different ? (may be replaced in the past or is
original)
4. Have this one the CRC mechanism ?
5. How many lens in how many groups ?
6. And last but not least ... is it worth of 200 USD ?

Answers:
1. Yes, I own a 24mm f2.8 AF lens
2. 1986-1992
3. Different lenses have different designs. Mine is like yours, and I
know for a fact that it has never
seen the inside of a repair facility.
4. Yes
5. The answer depends on whether or not the slight marks affect the
photographs.
My lens S/N is 335521. I don't remember when I bought it, but the date
must have been after 1990.
