I am loyal to Nikon...I even have a bad conscience when I go rogue getting a non-Nikkor..

I have a Canon Ixus, small and convenient when travelling. My main cameras have always been Nikon - from FM to D810 (soon), but for video I have a Canon XL1S and more recently a Sony PXW FS5, film super 8 Bell & Howell - horses for courses!

While waiting for the parts, I turned my attention to a 28mm f2.8 ai Nikkor that I acquired essentially for free when buying an FM - the rear glass was badly scored ( these are very vulnerable as they protrude from the mount quite a lot) I managed to swap a non ai 50mm f1.4 for another 28mm f2.8 which had been dropped and damaged the front ring but the rear glass was perfect - quick swap over and focus adjustment and the now pretty perfect 28mm sold this evening making £90 - 100% profit on the deal - just needed to be patient for the right parts at the right price!

Well done. So two wrongs do make a right?

Sort of - more like a cut and shut but a bit more refined!
