Always used Hoya filters because of the optical quality but never tried their lenses. Can’t imagine they would be optically inferior to their filters.

I can remember them being around but as they were not as good as Nikon lenses I never tried them.

So many of the period Nikons are plagued with fungus but I have my eye on a couple of AI Nikons if they don't go for too much money - a Nikkor 35-70mm f/3.3-4.5 AI-S and a Nikkor 70-210mm f/4.5-5.6 AI-S


Current theme is Blue
