He went into the loft and produced a box of 'older' lenses mainly film lenses. Without itemising them all, I picked out two which particularly fancied, a Nikkor 28mm f2 and a Nikkor 85mm f2.
The 28mm f2 has a close focus of 250mm which is nice, with CRC (close focus correction). It seems like a very nice lens, according to Bj¸rn it may be a very good IR lens. I need to try it on the D200 IR.
Not so sure about the 85mm f2, looking at the test images it seems to have a colour cast. Thinking back I seem to remeber the w/b being adjusted at that point, but it wasn't reset after that so remained for the 28-70mm test images which seem OK...
I also tried a 'broken' Nikkor zoom 28-70 AFS, which cosmetically could be new but only focuses by hand.
This is a heavily cropped test image taken from about 18inches in very poor lighting, one central 'economy' ceiling light in late afternoon.
