Welcome!
Whether you use them, want to use them, or even wonder about using them - this group is for you. It's about sharing in order to promote and expand the use of the manual lens. The attitude here is not about being a member of an exclusive club of special users, the attitude is about people working together in an environment of sharing information and helping one another like good neighbors. Think of this as a friendly village of people devoted to the manual lens....Feel free to start discussions or just provide your own equipment list of lenses used.

These images were all shot with the Nikkor 135mm f2 on a Kodak DCS620 (2MP) early digital pro camera based on the Nikon F5.
MF lenses are still very capable of good, and in some cases extremely good, results.

I use a number of manual focus lenses, mainly Nikkor that I had from my days shooting with the F2 and F3 Nikons. I have a couple of Nikon digital cameras that they work fine on (D1H and D1X) and I also have adapters for use with my Canon cameras. My fav's are the Nikkor 135mm f2 ( a very expensive lens in its day) which give superb results on digital and also the 300mm f4 IFED. Why waste good glass just because you have to do some work when using it. Manual focusing is a little more difficult with digi cams as their viewfinder screens are not as well adapted as those on the earlier cameras specifically designed of MF.
