Wow! Almost sold off my 50mm F1.8 lens for $20 (thats what the buyer quoted) being a Series E (Economical or El-cheapo) lens. Had second thoughts because the picture quality was very good / comparable with my other F1.2, F1.4, F1.8 50mm primes. Later I found out that the main difference was in the helix coil (made of plastic) only and that some Series E lenses are also multi-coated like their more expensive siblings.
I said I wanted to sell off some of my manual lenses when I purchased a flash from you sometime back but still havent got around to organizing my 3 cabinets full yet. I thought nobody appreciated manual lenses anymore until I saw this thread. Ignited my passion for these heavyweights again. Thanks XC.
Recently acquired a rare manual Nikon mounted CZ 180mm F2.8 Sonnar T it has 20 to 30 blades that make up the aperture (the most Ive seen from Nikon lenses is only 9).
Bokeh & the natural color rendition of this lens is superb. XC, add this piece of glass to your collection if you come across it.
