Nikon/Nikkor Lenses for Sale: Great lenses for Redrock

brm

Well-known member
I have the following NIKON NIKKOR lenses: 85mm f/1.8 AIS (MF) $135. optics mint, mechanically very good; 50mm 1.4 AIS (MF) $95 Mint. An Auto Focus 85mm f1.8D AF. $325 mint and a 135mm f/2.0 AIS (MF) $375 mint.

pm if interested...
 
are you selling any of them seperately, or as a package?

Also, any opinion on the redrock M2? I'm looking to buy one in the next couple of days. I will also need a matte box as a project I am working on will require a lot of outdoor shooting and I will need it to keep glare out, as well as to use with ND/polarizer filters. Do you have any recommendations for one that works well with support rod system of M2, but won't break the bank?

Thanks!

Good research site for Nikon is http://www.naturfotograf.com/lens_surv.html
Based on the recommendations, I purchased the lenses.
The Auto Focus Nikons are wonderful except that they are not designed for pulling focus. That's why I moved to Manual Focus lenses.

have you tried to pull focus on them? i have and had no problems?what issues did you have..looking into buying some nikkor afs
 
NIKON/NIKKOR Lenses
85mm f/1.8 AIS (MF) $135 - SOLD
135mm f/2.0 AIS (MF) $375 - SOLD

50mm 1.4 AIS (MF) $55 VG -(there are two very small cleaning marks on the front lens coating. Does not affect focus. Internal elements pristine. No focus or oil. Focus smooth. Aperture nice and snappy.

85mm f1.8D AF $325 Mint.
 
A CINE lens will always allow better focus pulls than an ENG zoom lens or MF photo lens. They are designed with focusing increments suited for pulling focus.

By analogy a MF photo lens will always give you more accurate pulls than AF lenses.

That said, shot a show recently with the 85mm f/1.8 AF wide open. Had a great AC. Focus/Pulls was razer sharp.

my 2¢
 
And of course you have the added benefit of using the AF lens on your brand new D200.
