Hello all, First, let me say I'm very happy this group exists, as there seems to be a lack of reliable Nikon repair info on the web. My Nikon D90 with 18-105...
I have come across a new/mint+ Nikkor-O 35/2. I'm looking for the factory Nikon AI conversion kit for this lens (#34). I've checked the usual places - ebay,...
