Nikon 28mm f2.8 AIS crc lens

[Miha]

Hi Paddy, as an ex Nikon user, the CRC 28mm Nikkor was one of my most used lenses. Compact, smooth, beautifully made. It's more like a "30mm" lens though. Very sharp at close distances and almost zero distortion!
Have fun with it.

When the 24mm f2.8 was introduced in 1967 the CRC feature was standard which made it a very popular lens. When the AIS version was introduced in 1988 the feature was called close range correction. you will also find the the D 28mm F2.8 has CRC.

Nikon lenses are in demand from digital SLR video users hence the hike in prices over the last 5 years or so.

I have no set ideas. Just a sceptical view on how" the market" sets prices. I hope you enjoy it, Paddy which is what really counts.

Oh well it,s been dispatched so should be here mid next week
This will be used on the fm2/fm3a and i have a reel of slide film waiting
I will keep hold of the 28mm f3.5ai for landscape type shots as the crc version seems to be meant for close/mid distance shots

picking up the point on manual focus lenses, not only do our digital brothers and sisters like them, but as my mince pies are going I find the brighter screens of the Nikon F4 and F5 make it very easy to use them and you get the green light as well and they make the F4 and F5 nicer looking cameras so its a win win situation ....

I found the rangefinder (green light) doesn't always work on wide angle MF lenses on my F5. It must be a very high contrast scene for some reason.

Hi peeps
The lens come today and it looks near new, the optics havent even got microdust in them, the lens hood looks new as well
A well known nikon dealer has one of these in this condition for £325 so saved £125 and got a free nikon hood
Going to finish off the reel of provia in the fm3a, i have to reels of velvia 50 on the way from silverprint
I have never used velvia to be honest, i wasnt happy when fuji axed astia
