Seems like a nice lens to have but I have the 20mm f2.8. The rabbit ears dont mess with the pentaprism for new DSLR cameras so the ears dont have to come off any more. Another nice touch by Nikon.

I have the 20-2.8 too but the 28 CFC 2.8 is a completely different lens which does a completely different job. It's quite a specialised lens but a very useful one or would be to me.

nice bit of info in that advert re the removal of the rabbits ears and there functionality . which as rob pointed out was my initial enquiry .at the moment happy with my tokina purchase .makes you wonder how many out there don't realise the quality of the older lenses . while browsing e/bay during the week i found myself drooling over a very cheap hasslebad and also took a second look at a couple of mamiya c330 tlr's which i had back in the 60's and 70's hmmmmmmm ![]()

The only problem with the Hasselblad's is the price of a digital back!! Even a low end one will set you back £5K.

Are the 'early' digital backs not coming down in price since they must be obsolete for 'serious' users? The other way of course is to revert to film!!! for a Hass or Bronica, I still miss my S2A Bronica. Then scan the negatives. I saw some seriously cheap Hass's at MLFCS last year one was even motor drive.

Film what is that? The older Hasselblads dont link with the digital backs very well so you need to wind on to set the shutter on the Hasselblad and then also set the digital back. Not that that would be a real problem if you were working with a 6x6 format camera in studio or on a tripod. The 5x4 camera working in the studio was always this way so if you were downsizing in format then it wouldnt be an issue.

No doubt some enterprising soul could lace four D200 sensors together to make a cheap back but probably far more trouble than it's worth. Going back to the lenses,these older lenses are still as good as they were, provided they don't have fungus of course. Anyone wanting really good lenses need look no further. Unless of course they want to use them on a D800.

The other downside is that with the modern Hasselblads is that the sensor size has been reduced to ~49mm x 36.7mm rather than the film 60x60mm. http://www.hasselbladusa.com/news/hasselblad-debuts-cfv-39-digital-back.aspx There are two selectable image formats: square (29 megapixel, 5412x5412) and rectangular (39 megapixel, 5412x7212 pixels). ISO speeds range from 50 to 800.

hmmmm the lens thread bit has got me thinking though jonathan .seems like a half decent idea to have a section for lens reviews ancient and modern ,with compatibility with cameras etc and a hands on review (possibly with pictures per lens ) as i have found it hard to track down reviews on these couple of lenses i have just bought . theres a wealth of info within this forum that SHOULD i.m.h.o be passed on for the benefit of others .i know that photography on the net .forum has a seperate lens review section but its basically for canon lenses .we could do better i,m sure

Robert was doing that item on the old forum and hopefully we got that all downloading. Maybe when he has finished his Marlin project he could load it into a reference section in the Lenses forum.
