Yes, with my miserly attitude to lenses, I have a strong interest in the olden golden Nikkors. Perhaps my favourite is my 105mm f2.5. Wish list: 20mm f3.5, EL nikkor metal 75mm f4.5 and a good fisheye. I would also LOVE a 105mm f4 UV Nikkor... http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/companies/nikon/nikkoresources/special/105UVmm.htm But at ~£4,500 it will always remain a dream. Much of my reference has been made to Bj¸rn R¸rslett's website. http://www.naturfotograf.com/lens_surv.html#top1 Bj¸rn has no axe to grind, and isn't worried about calling a spade a spade. There are several other valuable websites: Serials... http://www.photosynthesis.co.nz/nikon/lenses.html Reviews... http://www.verwoerd.info/nikon/#ratings History... http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/companies/nikon/nikkoresources/index.htm AI -AIS etc... http://www.aiconversions.com Exotic... http://digital-images.net/Lenses/lenses.html CPU - or not? .... http://www.naturfotograf.com/lens_CPUconversion.html AF Lenses... http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/companies/nikon/nikkoresources/AFNikkor/index.htm Fisheye lenses... http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/companies/nikon/nikkoresources/fisheyes/index.htm The mir.com site has a huge wealth of info on the older bodies, lenses, accessories and exotics, including the extendable tele lenses which all shared the same back focusing section and different interchangeable front sections which gave (from memory) three different focal lengths. (four!) http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/companies/nikon/nikkoresources/6070nikkor/telephoto/focusingunit.htm And so on... I have hundreds of Links to Nikkor websites and pages. I keep meaning to post a list of my links, but I can't believe anybody else would be that interested in the minutia of Nikkor lenses. Reading all of the info on the websites and pages in this short extract list would keep me busy for many days.

Well that was a rapid finish to the Marlin project. Great work Robert. If you find a source for the 105 f4 UV then I'll have one but not at the current market price.

I know a man who has some, but I doubt any amount of € will prise one from his grasp! I understand they are still available new from Nippon Kogaku special products. Also Coastal optics n the US make an equivalent which is well spoken of but no cheaper. Marlin not finished! More a case of waiting for funds to catch up with aspirations!!! I postponed the MOT because of the weather, I didn't fancy trailering the Marlin behind the Astra on the A590 in these conditions. Big hills and ice/snow are not ideal for trailer towing. Then I have the registration to deal with...

The stress is partly due to Christmas, which I thought I had cancelled, partly due to the car needing licensing and testing last week. I got away lightly this year, complete set of new metal brake pipes and a couple of rust patches under the cills.

In UK I always found that late January was the best time to buy photo kit. Always the best second hand kit around and the new kit that had arrived for Christmas and was unsold was discounted.
